Earning your coach rating can be a really fun way to take your skydiving to another level. You’ll learn more about your own skills while teaching others. You’ll learn how to be more methodical in your approach to skills and equipment, ultimately making you a safer, and better skydiver.
Once you’ve earned your USPA Coach Rating, you’ll be eligible to jump with unlicensed jumpers who’ve been cleared for self-supervised free fall. The USPA Coach Rating is the first step toward becoming a camera flier, Tandem Instructor, or AFF Instructor. Potentially, you could earn some of that jump money back on coach jumps, while letting someone else pay for your slot!

Andy has been skydiving since 2009, but his beginnings in the sport go far beyond that. Growing up as a DZ brat he spent summers on New England drop zones in the 70’s & 80’s, long before there were tandems & AAD’s.
Outside of skydiving, Andy has a lifetime of experience instructing students in equestrian sports. That experience gives Andy a unique insight into teaching both knowledge, and coordination. Not only will you earn your Coach Rating, you’ll learn how to teach!
