Junior Mavericks

2008 Mavericks Handbook

The Mavericks Junior Team is for ages 6 to 8 years. At a minimum, each participant should be able to complete one length of the pool unassisted. The program has three main objectives:

  1. Prepare swimmers directly out of swim school for the fundamentals of swim team.
  2. Develop sound competitive skills.
  3. Progress swimmers to a skill level that allows for a choice of competitive or non-competitive swimming.

For youths between 5 to 6 years old or who have not been in the Jr. Mavericks program before, please visit the Mavericks Level I page.

For youths between 8 and 16 years old, please visit the Mavericks page.

Registration Policies for Junior Mavericks:
  1. A 10-minute evaluation is required for all new swimmers wishing to register for Mavericks Level I. The evaluations will be held Monday and Tuesday at 6:30pm. Please check in ten minutes prior to the evaluation with the coach. This quick evaluation is necessary to assign a child to the correct team where he or she will make the most progress and be challenged appropriately.

  2. Already in the Junior Mavericks Program, graduated from the Level I Program, or placed by one of the coaches.

  3. Able to swim 25 yards of freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke and butterfly with good technique and endurance.

  4. Able to follow verbal commands from an on-deck swim coach and focus well for long periods of time and work well with many other lane mates.
  5. Every swimmer in a session must be registered BEFORE they take part in any coached workout.

  6. There is a 2 WEEK TRIAL PERIOD from the date of registration, where fees are 100% refundable.

  7. Late entries into any session will have their fees pro-rated to the week they start. There is no pro-ration for kids leaving the session early or taking weeks off during the session.

  8. There are only 12 spots open per day.

  9. Due to our commitment to quality coaching and service and to prevent workout overcrowding we now request our swimmers commit to a certain day(s) of the week that they plan on attending.
