Are you looking for a way to improve your RW skills?   Do you want to train on a team?  Do you want to compete at skydiving?  Whether you want to brush up your RW skills, learn more about competition 4- or 8-way, or augment other team plans, Rhythm teams are a great opportunity.  Teams will be matched up by similar goals and skill levels, so whether you're new to the sport and want a fun and safe learning environment, or have competed before and want to train more seriously, this project will have an option for you.

In addition to our player coach teams, Rhythm is building a number of project teams for next season, including:

-An advanced team

-A competitive Intermediate team

-A beginner Intermediate team

These teams will be run similar to player coach teams, with a member of Rhythm coaching and leading the team and taking care of all of the organizing, planning, coordinating with dropzone and tunnel, packers, video, managing budget and schedule.   The project teams will have four full team members instead of a Rhythm coach flying inside and will train for the USPA Nationals in Perris in September.  

 
Your Rhythm captain will take care of all of the communication, planning, organization, coordination with dropzone, tunnel, video, packers, alternates, etc.  The budget and schedule are set ahead of time -- there will be no surprises or additions (unless all team members agree to add training).  You just show up, train, compete with your team, learn a ton and enjoy!

-- Avoid the hassles of organizing a team, coordinating training, finding video, keeping a team together and other challenges.
-- Budget and schedule are set so there are no surprises or extra expenses
-- Train at two world-class facilities – Skydive Chicago and Paraclete XP.  Paraclete XP is the ONLY wind tunnel in the US large enough for much of the 8 way and all of the 4 way blocks and randoms.  Skydive Chicago has a fleet of lightening-fast Super Twin Otters and Caravans as well as an awesome facility, including a huge hangar, cafe, campground, full service gear and rigging shop, lounge, Tiki Bar, gym, swimming pond, auditorium, and more.
-- Train alongside other 4 way teams for added learning, encouragement and camaraderie
-- Training is consolidated into as few camps as possible to get the training in - roughly one weekend a month April - September, leaving you plenty of time for other jumping, other teams, family, and other activities
-- Get the most out of your training by having a coach planning every camp
-- Guarantee a positive and safe learning environment by having a coach guide the team through an efficient, goal-based, positive training process
-- Team training plans and engineering have been developed using methods developed and used by Rhythm over the past 10 years
-- Learn and improve your RW skills in ways that only team training can provide
-- There will be multiple teams with varied goals, experience levels and commitment.  Whether you want a fun, low key team, or want to train hard, we may have an option for you.
