Preparing for your first water ski tournament is surely exciting as this will be your first time to experience competing to other skiers. It is expected that you have heard lots of tips and tricks from your colleagues and family. And most probably, the tournament that you are about to join is recommended by some of them.

But what if you want to join tournament for the first time but do not have any colleague or family to ask? Don’t fret, because water ski tournaments are always published and announced in the Internet. Water ski societies and tournament organizers all over the world generally upload details on various websites about their forthcoming tournaments. You can even read the entire tournament schedules for the whole year. And you can also register online if you want a more convenient and faster registration process.

And since it will be your first time to compete, you and your team must join the novice division or your regular age group if there is no novice division. Avoid regional, Professional or National tournaments because these have pre-qualification requirements and not advisable for first timers. It is also recommended to join a water ski association so that you can easily access more information and details. There are lots of benefits of having a water ski affiliation.

On the tournament day, bring all your water ski accessories like vest, goggles/sunglasses and regulation handle. Be there early so that you and your team can do some familiarization. Pack some food and drinks so you do not have to spend time looking for some food to eat.

Lastly, be friendly and do not hesitate to ask around should you need to clarify or ask something. Water ski associations as well as tournament organizers will be always ready to help their novice colleagues.
