"It's not flying, It's falling with style!"

So you want to jump out of a plane?


Well you've come to the right place! Wherever you've found us (Athletic Union page or Google search engine) hopefully you're interested in throwing yourself out of a plane for no other reason than because you want to do it! We do parachuting courses for York AU members (both staff and students), and we offer a discount on all courses to YUSPC members, as well as subsidise part of each jump after your training is complete!
