Team coaching

You may have seen amazing team skydiving demonstrations on TV… but did you ever think you could participate yourself?

The pros at Skydive DeLand can help you and your crew prepare for and carry out your best dives yet.

Freefly coaching

What is freeflying, anyway? It’s an expansion of the sport of skydiving, in which flyers can fly head first, feet first, on the back, in a sitting stance, and other more daring positions. While this offshoot of the sport may be more extreme, you don’t have to travel far to receive professional freefly coaching.
