If you are a licensed skydiver and you want to improve your skills at anything skydive-related (other than wingsuiting), you’re in the right place! Wether you’re interested in angle, freefly, belly, or canopy skills, we have coaches who are available to help. And did we mention - hiring a coach for the day gets you premanifested for 6 jumps. Always wishing you could double manifest? Now you can!

Private Coaching at Skydive Utah
Our Goal: Skydive Utah wants to promote private coaching to improve skills and safety at our dropzone.
Expectations and qualifications:
This is a program designed for licensed jumpers to receive quality paid instruction from vetted coaches. On the day of your coaching, you will get reserved slots for the day (up to 6) with time to brief and debrief between jumps.
How to schedule:
Contact any of the coaches directly to schedule your day of coaching. Once scheduled, they will coordinate with the DZ.
Skydive Utah can accommodate a total of 4 coaching slots per day on Saturday, and 6 coaching slots per day on any other open day. This includes the coach. Examples of 6 total slots: 1 coach with a group of 5 students, 3 individual groups of 1-on-1 coaching, or any combination of coaches and students that does not exceed the daily maximum of 4 or 6 slots.
Signing up for coaching is first come first served. When you have a date in mind, reach out to someone to get it set up!
On your coaching day:
You must arrive at the DZ 30 minutes before opening time with your instructor and anyone else in your group. The hangar will be open. Before opening, load money on your burble account. Make sure you have enough money on Burble for all of your jumps for the day. You can do this through the BurbleMe app or the front desk. You will be manifested for all 6 jumps as soon as manifest opens. Be sure to have your logbook available & remember that Skydive Utah requires AADs to jump.
Priority manifest flow:
This coaching program includes 6 guaranteed jumps if you follow this flow:
Jump 1
25 minute call (1 load down)
Jump 2
50 minute call (2 loads down)
Jump 3
25 minute call (1 load down)
Jump 4
50 minute call (2 loads down)
Jump 5
25 minute cal (1 load down)
Jump 6
If the loads are turning, you will be on loads: 1 - 3 - 6 - 8 - 11 - 13
If there are shut downs, manifest will adjust your loads accordingly to maintain the call schedule.
If you follow this manifest flow, the DZ will do its best to guarantee your 6 jumps. We will send additional lighter loads if needed, within reason, if weather and sunset allow.
If you want 50 minute calls in between all jumps, that is allowed, but we cannot guarantee 6 jumps. You may get less jumps depending on the day.
Reach out to any coaches directly for more information. If you have questions for the Drop Zone, email fly@skydiveutah.com.
