Tunnel training is a valuable tool in 4 way training.

Coached jumps at Skydive City, Zephyrhills, Florida, April 14-18 and December 25-31

These jumps will complement team wind tunnel training, coached by a champion skydiver.

At least 2 weekends dedicated coaching time at Skydive Chicago

While cost prevents the Furies from having a professional coach all season, they will team up with Skydive Chicago to bring in nationally-recognized skydivers to help them prepare for competition.

4-5 regional competitions, 6 jumps each with a coach

While the main focus is national competition, the Furies see regional competition as a realistic preparation for Nationals, and the MWSL provides coaching to all entered teams.
