OWSA Junior Development - Dayton, OH 

For 2010, the Ohio Water Ski Association will be holding four beginner/ intermediate junior development water ski clinics.  The fourth clinic will be held in the Dayton area at “Sunsite Lakes”.  Click here for Google Maps. 

This clinic will be held on July 8th.  This clinic will be designed for 15 - 20 skiers.  If you are interested, be sure to register early.

Sunsite lakes is a private water ski site along I75 just south of Dayton.  Mason Mechler along with Kyle Dammeyer and Zack Schneider will be the main instructors at this event.  Mason, Kyle and Zack all hold Ohio records, Kyle in slalom, Zack in jump, Mason in slalom and trick and Mason was a previous holder of all three Midwest Regional B2 slalom records.  These three skiers are all well seasoned competitors on a local, state, regional and national level and Mason on an International level.  In addition to great slalom coaching, this will be a good opportunity to get trick coaching as well.

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

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.
