FROM JUMPER TO LEADER

This Course is an introductory course for all USPA and SDU ratings. The course is directed towards initial group formation and canopy control.  The rating privileges allow the coach to perform one on one formation skydiving (FS) required for a students “A” license.  The USPA coach rating also allows coaches to be able to teach the non-specific areas of a First Jump Course.  This first rating is a “basic” coach rating which focuses on training the fundamental skills to perform group jumps safely.  This course does not train the coach to train the entire Basic Body Flight (BBF) program.  

 

The complete BBF program included exit skills of dive floating, center turns, sidewards movements and super-positional movements.  Skydive University offers FS Level 2 (Advanced 1 on 1) for graduates of FS Level 1 or Coach Training camps for skydivers with over 200 jumps that want to achieve both ratings. The course includes topics such as teaching, analyzing and psychological routines for coaching.
