Skydiving competitions are vibrant, exciting, challenging and great fun!
Competitions are available in many different aspects of the sport, which are known as 'competitions disciplines'. The competitions scene is dynamic, with new and emerging disciplines growing in popularity all the time.
Competitions at all levels
Competitions are available at all levels, from beginners - rookies or juniors - to National events, the European Skydiving League (ESL) in Formation Skydiving, and World meets: the World Cup and World Championships.
And the BPA brings competitions to you - the UK Skydiving League in Formation Skydiving and UK Grand Prix in several other disciplines has events at Centres across the UK. BPA skills coaching roadshows offer free coaching at Centres across the UK, either as stand-alone events or at competition meets.
Each year, Affiliated Clubs & Centres bid to host the British Open Nationals and the UKSL and UK Grand Prix meets.
Competitions Committee
The BPA Competitions Committee looks after the needs of competitors and host Centres. It also co-ordinates the publication of rules and judging through the BPA Judges' Co-ordinator.
