Player-Coaches for 2026 Vic Champs
For the 2026 Victorian State Championships, the VTPC is again supporting player-coaches and people wanting to get some (more?) competition experience.
A “player-coach” is an experienced competition skydiver who trains and competes in a team with less experienced skydivers, and there’s no better way to progress and learn.
Under this initiative, eligible player-coaches will get their jumps covered for training and competing at the Victorian State Championships scheduled for the 14th & 15th of November at Commando Skydivers.
What’s on offer:
- Financial assistance to eligible player-coaches taking teams to the Vic Champs
- Each player-coach in the team will have their training slots covered for up to 3 training days
- The player-coach will also have entry and jumps covered to compete at the Vic Champs
Eligible player-coaches must:
- Be Victorian skydivers in a team discipline (e.g. 4-Way FS, 2-Way VFS, Canopy Formation)
- Be training with the team at Victorian drop zones and competing at Vic Champs
- Develop a training plan with a minimum of 3 training days prior to Vic Champs
- For FS, have competed at the national level in a category higher than the category you’re player-coaching
- For VFS, have a FF coach rating and relevant experience
How funding will be provided:
- The player-coach is to submit an application via the form below
- The VTPC will then be in contact to confirm team training plans
- Once approved, training jumps will be reimbursed after each training day and after competing at Vic Champs
