About Us

The MCHS wakerski and wakeboard team was started in the spring of 2007 to promote the sport of waterskiing and wakeboarding. Throughout the summer season of 2007 we met several times a week to ski, wakeboard, wake-skate, and just have fun. For 2008 we are also hoping to compete with other schools in our area.

What does it take to join?

  • Membership in the club cost $150/year payable to the "Ninovan Ski Club". This is used to cover lake management, insurance, and some club owned equipment.
  • Membership in the USA Water Ski Association is required. USA Water Ski is the national governing body of organized water skiing in the United States. Membership cost $40/year which includes a year subscription to "The Waterskier" magazine. To join AWSA click here.
  • There is some other paper work including a waiver, emergency medical information, and general info.
  • Then your ready to come have fun with us!

    • Some things we've done

    In the beginning of June 2007 we were able to have professional ski coach, Mike Suyderhoud come out to our lake and coach us. Mike is the founding father of the West Coast Slalom style of skiing and coaches Champion skiers Marcus Brown and Terry Winter.

    We also had former University of Illinois wakeboarder Brit Reynolds out here at the beginning of August 2007 to show us some tricks. He is Minooka High School graduate. Brit, who does photography for USA Waterski, was able to help photograph our team.
