The USPA Coach Course is the first step on the instructional ladder. Come join our 3 course directors and experienced staff to be the best that you can be! 

Here's a tentative schedule based on filling the class - we want 12 candidates to make this work best:

Thursday night, April 17th 2003
Friday all day
Saturday all day
Sunday until qualifying jumps are complete 

Any instructors who have not attended a coach course are required to participate in the classroom portion to have the correct information to do coach level jumps at Skydive Orange. Qualified coaches are encouraged to come and may be invited to assist. Anyone with an instructional rating is welcome in our class to review or hone their personal skills.

Even with the time allotted for the course, it is a learning-intense process. Please come prepared by reading your material -- you know that we have to work to the lowest common denominator -- do not let that be you! <G> You may download the Coach Proficiency Card directly from the USPA website ( http://www.uspa.org) - this must be filled out prior to the class. Course materials are found in the current 2003 IRM which may be purchased through the USPA store for $32 + shipping.
Please secure your place in this course now - past courses have filled up in advance and 12 is our limit. The course cost is $350 which includes 2 evaluation jumps and informal food for Friday and Saturday. $100 minimum deposit is required by March 15.

Anyone with an instructional rating may sign off your proficiency card. Let us know how to assist you in attaining your goals!
