You reached PSP Level 18, now what?
.
Congratulations on getting to PSP L18 from our Perris Skydiving Program! Graduating from a world-class skydiving program such as the one offered by Skydive Perris is an amazing accomplishment. Now that you’ve graduated from the PSP, you can take advantage of our Phase 2 Coaching program.
Skydive Perris is one of the only California skydiving centers that offers a coaching program for non-licensed skydiving students. This is a fantastic opportunity to continue your training with USPA licensed coaches who will teach you additional skills to practice in a 1 on 1 coaching environment. Your coaches will give you individualized personal attention to continue advancing your skills, show you how to get involved in the skydiving community once you are licensed, and much much more!
Welcome to our sport and to the Skydive Perris Family, the best is yet to come!
The Post PSP coaching program offers free coaching to PSP students who have completed their formal 18 levels. Every weekend, Skydive Perris provides highly skilled USPA-rated coaches to its PSP graduates to help develop their flying skills and to further their education and knowledge taught throughout the initial jumps of the Perris Student. Graduates continue their skydiving education with an experienced coach to help maximize learning, aerial proficiency, and overall skydiving knowledge. Video of the skydives and video debriefs are also utilized in the coaching program for added proficiency.
Skydive Perris offers coaching every weekend. The skydives will be structured to focus on skills including but not limited to tracking, fall rate adjustments, turns, side slides, and proximity flying. Additionally, coaches will work with PSP graduates on different exiting techniques such as diving, floating, and poised exits. On the ground, PSP graduates are taught essential skills to include gear checks, aircraft spotting, canopy skills, and other areas of instruction. Our coaches will also help graduates become involved and welcomed into the amazing experienced skydiver community at Skydive Perris.
Sign up on the white board in the Perris Load Organizers room. The board will have the name of the coach available for the day. Write your first and last name on the board and one of our world class coaches will find you to begin working with you on your skills. You can also ask manifest to point you to the organizer of the day.
The only cost is your jump ticket, and rig rental if needed.
