VFS MASTERCLASS
from small groups to big ways

Ready to master large vertical formations? This event is designed for experienced skydivers who want to perfect Head-Down and Head-Up techniques in big-way settings. Learn from world-class coaches and become confident in advanced group flying.

Day 1 & Day 2: Foundation Building & Techniques

On the first two days, we focus on the fundamentals of flying in large groups. Our seasoned team, with over 15 years of expertise in organizing European and World Records, will guide you through the essential techniques for creating a strong foundation. You will learn advanced skills that focus on:

• Precision and Coordination: Essential techniques to maintain formation integrity.
• Position Adaptation: Adjusting your flying style based on formation roles.
• Technique Mastery: Improving transitions between Head-Down and Head-Up.

With our expert coaches, including multiple VFS Champion Raph Coudray, you’ll learn how to adapt your flying style to different positions within the formation and how to enhance your ability to contribute effectively to the success of the group.

Day 3 & Day 4: Building the Big Ways

In the final two days, we bring everything together, applying the skills acquired over the first two days. We will build formations in both Head-Up and Head-Down configurations. The focus will be on:

• Formation Execution: Applying skills to create complex big-way formations.
• Safety and Coordination: Keeping the group safe while attempting large formations.
• Adaptive Grouping: If needed, we will keep the groups or a single group smaller to continue working on technical skills before scaling up.

Please note that we will ONLY form the big groups if the required progress has been achieved. Safety and skill development remain the top priorities.
