The SFA Water Ski Team has dedicated drivers scheduled for each day of the week for the spring and fall. For all of you die-hard skiers, there are a hand full of skiers that ski all year round. If you have a wet suit for winter sking, bring it out to the lake. They are at the lake every day Monday through Friday. There are no assigned drivers on the weekends because of everyone's fluctuating schedules. Call one of the drivers to make sure that someone will be out there. Club members who have paid their dues can show up at any time during these periods and ski.
The SFA Water Ski Team competes in seven regular tournaments per year, three in the fall semester and four in the spring. We compete in three events, slalom, trick, and jump, against 12 other schools in the South Central Conference, such as Texas A&M, SWT, BU, ULL, LA TECH, ULM, TX TECH, UT, etc.. Each event is divided into separate men and women's categories. There are actually two teams: The "A" team is composed of the 5 best skiers in each event who are chosen by the president in the meeting before each tournament. Anyone who doesn't make the "A" Team can ski on "B" Team. Skiers on the "B" Team can neither help nor hurt the team, it is for their own practice and to allow them to participate in the tournaments.
The SFA Water Ski Team dues cover our boat, equipment costs, and hotel rooms but in practice there is a $2 fee per pull. A pull is a ski ride that consists of six to eight passes through the slalom course, or 15 minutes of trick skiing or wakeboarding.
If you have any other questions feel free to e-mail us at swst@orgmail.sfasu.edu, or you can call Janice, our Intramural Administrative assistant, at (936) 468-. We hope to see you at the lake.
