2026 FAI World Championships

The best of the best are selected at our USPA Nationals to represent the US at this event.  They work hard to earn their place on the US Parachute Team, but that's just the beginning.  Once they perform and win a top slot at our Nationals, they continue their training to bring their best to the world stage and bring home a top place at the World Championships.
