About

The goal of UConn Skydiving is to promote the sport of skydiving, make it more accessible to the students of UConn, and to develop a competitive skydiving club of licensed jumpers to represent UConn in competitions around the U.S. As a competitive team, we compete yearly in the USPA Collegiate National Skydiving Championships and various indoor skydiving competitions.

The club provides members with gear, coaching, indoor wind tunnel training, and reimbursement for competitions. Even with funding, members spend thousands of their own money each year on practice jumps and gear, just for the love of the sport. Members share a desire for competition, learning new skills, and a camaraderie that can only be built while falling 13,500 ft from the sky, all of which keeps members hooked. The current team is dedicated to keep the legacy of competition, building skills in the sky and on the ground, and close-knit community alive. To do so, we need your help.

Any additional funds will be used for the general activities of the group.



The UConn Foundation (EIN 06-6070722) is an independent, not-for-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization that exists to support the educational, scientific, cultural, research, and recreational objectives of the University of Connecticut.
