Honoring Our Partners in Flight
World Indoor Skydiving Championship 2025
– A Grateful Tribute
At Children of Fallen Heroes, we believe the sky is not the limit — it’s only the beginning.
We are deeply honored and grateful to Airspace Indoor Skydiving, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), and the organizers of the 2025 World Indoor Skydiving Championship for creating an extraordinary event that united the global skydiving community. Your tireless efforts, both seen and unseen, made it possible for young athletes, families, and supporters to share in this unforgettable experience.
A heartfelt thank you to Global Air Sports Media and Regan Tetlow for the outstanding live coverage that allowed families and fans around the world to be part of the excitement. Your dedication to excellence and storytelling brought the spirit of the championship to life.
We are also honored to extend our gratitude to Boris Nebe, Managing Director of Indoor Skydiving Germany (ISG), for taking the time to meet with our team. Your leadership, innovation, and vision for the future of indoor skydiving are truly inspiring. We look forward to building a strong, impactful partnership with ISG to help open new doors of opportunity for the children and families we serve.
A very special thank you to Coach Mike Sopko (Human Aerodynamics ) at for his unwavering guidance, mentorship, and commitment to our young athletes. Your leadership was instrumental in helping them take flight and compete with such skill, heart, and determination on the world stage.
We are especially proud of our own junior athletes, Emma and Gabriel, who represented Team USA with passion, excellence, and heart — bringing home the Silver Medal in the 2-Way Dynamic Juniors division! Watching them compete on the world stage was a moment of immense pride and inspiration for all of us. Emma and Gabriel, you embody the spirit of perseverance, teamwork, and excellence that defines our mission.
We are also thrilled to share that Emma and Gabriel’s journey was recently featured on The Champions Journey Podcast with Matt Davidson. Thank you, Matt, for highlighting their incredible story and shining a light on the dedication and spirit that define our young champions.
At Children of Fallen Heroes, these moments reaffirm our belief that with the right support, every child can rise, soar, and achieve greatness.
Thank you to every organizer, volunteer, coach, competitor, and supporter who helped lift this championship to incredible heights.
The future is bright — and together, we fly.

Children of Fallen Heroes
Dynamic Flight Academy
At Children of Fallen Heroes, our STEM+Arts Indoor Skydiving Program combines cutting-edge science, technology, engineering, math, and creative arts with the thrilling experience of indoor skydiving. Designed to inspire and empower children from military, first responder, and foster backgrounds, this program teaches teamwork, physics, aerodynamics, and creativity in a hands-on, exciting way.
The STEM+Arts Connection
Our Indoor Skydiving Program is about more than competition. It’s an educational experience where children -
-
Explore aerodynamics and the physics of flight.
-
Learn about wind tunnel technology and engineering concepts.
-
Develop problem-solving skills through creative movement and teamwork.
-
Foster self-confidence and resilience in a dynamic environment.
By blending STEM education with the art of flight, we create opportunities for young minds to discover their potential – whether in sports, science, or life.
Why Indoor Skydiving?
Indoor skydiving in vertical wind tunnels is a safe and accessible way to experience freefall flight. It inspires curiosity in science and encourages physical and mental growth. Through our program, students learn how forces like lift, drag, and gravity shape their experience – and apply these lessons to their future.
