About Us
The primary purpose of the Falling Illini is to promote the sport of skydiving at the University of Illinois. Our goal is to introduce students to the sport and make it easier and more affordable for students, should they become members to jump and to become students and earn their skydiver’s license. We aim to make the sport more accessible while promoting an atmosphere of comradery and sportsmanship. Additionally, the Falling Illini seek to form a competitive team to participate in skydiving competitions and represent the University of Illinois through amateur competitive skydiving. Finally, we work to benefit the entire sport not just within the university but as a whole, by working with other collegiate skydiving clubs and ultimately forming an association of collegiate skydiving organizations.
