Post-AFF Phase II Coaching Program
Congratulations on graduating from our AFF program! Now that you’ve graduated AFF and completed your 5 required coach jumps, you may ask yourself, “What’s next?” Instead of doing those boring solos, you can continue to get coaching with a USPA-licensed coach in a personalized 1-on-1 environment to work on additional skills (different exit techniques, fall rate control, side slides, proximity flying, and more), enhance your learning and progression, all with video and debriefs. Your coach will also review things like gear checks, spotting, and canopy skills. The best part?
It's FREE!
When can I jump with a coach?
Skydive Perris offers coaching every weekend and most days of the week.
How do I sign up?
Come to the RW Organizers room and let someone know you're here for the phase II program.
Is there a fee?
NO fee. The only cost is your jump ticket and rig rental if needed. The coach’s slots are covered by Skydive Perris.
We can't wait to fly with you and welcome you to the Perris family!!
