FAQ:

1. Do I need to be able to ski or wakeboard to join?
- Absolutely not! There is nothing we love more than introducing new people to watersports.

2. Do I need my own equipment?
- You do not need your own equipment. We have plenty of great gear in all different sizes and ability levels.

3. How do I join the wakeboard or three event competition teams?
- At the beginning of each season we will have tryouts to see who will be on these special teams.

4. How do I get to the lake and when are practices?
- Maps will be given out to team members at the first meeting.
- Practice times are posted on the schedule.

5. How do I get involved in team leadership?
- If you are interested in helping out with planning, recruiting or anything else, contact any of the team officers and we would love to have your support.

6. What do I get out of being a member of the team?
- I can't even begin to say all the benefits of joining the team. It is a great way to meet other people who are as interested in watersports as you are. There is a great lake to ride on only minutes away. Waterski team is a great activity to put on a resume or to meet extra curricular activity requirements. Tournaments are a blast, I mean who wouldn't want to go relax in the sun all day with a bunch of other college students and also get to ride a few times. But the bottom line here at the NIU Waterski and Wakeboard team, is that we like to have fun and make memories that will last for years!
