Team Training

Competitive skydiving, in it's various disciplines is a highly challenging and time consuming sport. With the ever increasing usage of wind tunnels, the design of the very latest canopies and the constant striving to push new boundaries, every athlete has to give that little bit extra to stay ahead of the game.

Here at Skydive Spain, we feel honoured to be part of our customers skydiving adventures and as such feel we want to help out wherever we can by re-investing in the sport.

This page is dedicated to the teams we sponsor for the upcoming 2009 season who will be training with us and our partners to compete at the highest level in their chosen discipline.

Following on from the Gold Medal at the British Nationals, and Silver Medal at the World Meet in Stupino, Russia - Jim has set his sights on more medals and to share his enthusiasm for freeflying to the masses.

"As a full time coach and competitive freeflyer I have chosen to make Skydive Spain my home because I require the best possible weather, the highest possible altitude and the fastest possible turn around with a manifest that is efficient and easy to work with. Taking all this into account, Skydive Spain is unparalleled in Europe."

"Skydive Spain offers a fast and lovely airplane, actually they have 4 of them! And they all go to 15,000 feet, on every load. With a fast operation, professional staff and a dry and warm climate we have all what is needed for an efficient team training. Having Seville, a city worthy of the trip alone only a short car ride away, is of course even better." - Mathias
