Support UA Waterski!

SkiBama is The University of Alabama's Collegiate Water Ski Team. Each year, our student-run team competes across the country in three-event collegiate water skiing: slalom, trick, and jump. SkiBama offers students the opportunity to train at a world-record capable water ski lake, form lifelong friendships, and develop leadership skills that extend well beyond the lake.


Despite receiving no academic scholarships for recruitment, SkiBama has built a legacy of excellence competing with heavily funded programs across the nation. We have placed in the top five at the NCWSA Collegiate National Championships for fifteen consecutive years, with eight SkiBama athletes earning individual national titles along the way. At the same time, we have expanded our program to welcome beginners, growing a vibrant and supportive team environment, all while maintaining a highly competitive A-team that ranks among the best in the nation.


Your donation to SkiBama does more than fund tournament travel, equipment, and training. It is an investment into the development of every student-athlete on our team, providing opportunities to compete at the highest level, gain real-world leadership experience, and prepare for future success both academically and professionally.


SkiBama could not thrive without the generosity of supporters like you. Thank you for helping us continue our tradition of excellence — and for helping us build the future of collegiate water skiing.
