SSDC COACHES

Coach Craig Dolloff grew up on the South Shore in Duxbury, MA and he got involved with diving when he was 11 years old as part of the original Duxbury Aqua-Dux Swimming and Diving Team.  Craig started SSDC in the Fall of 2004 and started with just 5 divers.  Since then SSDC has grown to be one of the premier springboard diving clubs in the United States.  The entire Coaching staff of SSDC has a passion for elevating the sport of diving and is driven to help each and every diver reach their diving goals.
