OWSA Junior Development - Cincinnati, OH 

For 2010, the Ohio Water Ski Association will be holding four beginner/ intermediate junior development water ski clinics.  The first clinic will be held in the Cincinnati area at “Skier’s Runway” near Harrison, Ohio.  Click here for Google Maps. 

This clinic will be held over two days, June 19th-20th.  This clinic will be designed for twelve skiers each day. If demand is high, it may be expanded to 15.  If you are interested, be sure to register early.

Gil Ruehl has developed “Skier’s Runway” and currently has residential lots for sale.  He has designed and modified this lake specifically for three-event water skiing.  Gil is the father of Samantha Ruehl who has held both Regional and National titles.  Samantha, along with Gil will be heading up the instruction that will be provided.  In addition, Debbie Kern will also be available as an instructor.  Debbie is one of the best beginner/intermediate coaches in Ohio.  Debbie assisted last year at the junior development clinic held at Extreme and was instrumental in the success of many of the participants.  Excellent coaching in all three events will be available.

Along with an OWSA membership, participants will need to have one of the following USA Waterski memberships to participate: 

Under 25 Active – Allows participation for twelve months at any USA Waterski sanctioned event at a charge of $40 for individuals less than 25 years of age.  This membership also comes with a one-year subscription to “The Water Skier” magazine (7 issues).  Click here for more information and to purchase.

Grass Roots Active – Allows participation for twelve months at any Grass Roots Sanctioned event, club practice/exhibitions and Basic Skills Clinics at a charge of $35.  This membership also receives three issues of “The Water Skier” magazine.  This membership does not allow you to jump over a ramp.  Click here for more information and to purchase.

Single Event – Allows participation at one event at a charge of $7.00. This membership can be purchased on the day of the event.

We would encourage everyone look at the Grass Roots membership if you are not interested in the Active Membership.  This membership will allow you to participate at any or all of the junior development clinics.  Additionally, this Grass Roots membership will allow you to participate in the newly created program “Open Lake Nights”.  Lakes across Ohio will be open for those who register to participate on select evenings during the year.  A Grass Roots membership will allow you to participate in any of these events. Click “Open Lake Nights” for more information.  The Grass Roots Membership will also allow you to participate in any of the Buckeye Bouy Tour Events and the State Championship.  Our new Novice Rule and a handicapped-scoring system will allow participants at any level to be equally competitive at the Buckeye Bouy Tour Events.
