Developing Airborne Athletes

From beginning flyers learning their first airborne fundamentals to elite athletes refining performance, TFI develops the individual athlete whose success depends on what happens after leaving support—and before returning to it.

Training pathways

Three ways to develop.

Beginning Flyer Development

Structured in-person foundations for athletes who are new to flying or need stronger basics in body position, timing, spatial awareness and progression.

Remote · Asynchronous FDP

Submit training or competition video on your schedule. TFI reviews the athlete's performance frame by frame and returns individualized technical feedback without requiring a live online lesson.

California Training & Team Camps

Private and semi-private training—including concentrated camps for teams that send their flyers to TFI's dedicated 3,500 sq. ft. facility.

A distinct specialty

The athlete in the air deserves dedicated development.

TFI focuses on the individual airborne athlete: how an athlete launches, rises, rotates, twists, shapes, orients, finishes and becomes more repeatable under competitive pressure. This work complements—not replaces—the athlete's primary coach, team program or acrobatics system.

A full development continuum

Beginning does not mean basic attention.

New flyers

Learn the positions, awareness, timing and technical language that make later progress safer and faster.

Developing flyers

Build rotation, twist, launch quality, height, consistency and sport-specific progressions.

Advanced / elite flyers

Refine individual technical details, competition consistency and long-term performance trends.

Find the right entry point.

Beginning flyer development, in-person technical training, team camps, and remote asynchronous FDP support can work independently or together.
