FELLOW WATER SKIER AND WAKEBOARDER!
Members of the Mid-Valley Water Ski Club would like to welcome you, your family and
friends to organized water skiing in Central California.
Our intent here is to inform you about our organization, purpose, history, activities, and goals.

History in Brief
Since Mid-Valley Water Ski Club was formed
in 1974, we have grown into one of the most
active water ski organizations in the area.
Although most of our activities are during the
summer months, we are quite active during
the winter as well. Throughout the years, we
have hosted numerous USA Water Ski class C
and National Ski League (NSL) tournaments
with wakeboard, kneeboard, slalom, and
disabled events.

In 1979, with careful planning and preparation,
Mid-Valley finally found a home. Our members
received approval from the Stanislaus County
Parks Department and the Board of
Supervisors to use a portion of Modesto
Reservoir known as the back dam area to
install a slalom course and boat dock.

In 2001, Mid-Valley and All Abilities Ski Club
in cooperation with the Stanislaus County
Parks Department began a capital fund-raising
campaign to develop an accessible dock and
support facilities at Modesto Reservoir.

Mid-Valley is a "family oriented" club and its
activities also include our "Tournament
Series", social barbecues, work parties to
maintain our ski site, monthly meetings, and
other related activities.

As with Mid-Valley, hundreds of ski clubs and
thousands of water skiers have affiliated
themselves with USA Water Ski. USA Water
Ski is the national governing board for the
sport of water skiing and protects your right to
ski by passing much needed legislation,
insures our facilities and skiers, and sets the
basic guidelines for our events.

Mission Statement
Members of Mid-Valley Water Ski Club believe
that the sport of organized water skiing is a
safe and low impact family sport that provides
great fun and exercise for everyone regardless
of age, ability, or physical disability.
Mid-Valley Water Ski Club is a non-profit
organization whose members join together to
promote boat and water sport safety through
organized activities such as tournament
competition, learning clinics for beginners,
and community service groups. Our active
members not only want to improve their
skiing, but as volunteers, give something back
to the sport as well. On or off the water, our
members believe in good family values and
practice good sportsmanship.
