About the Fly Team Curriculum and Coaches
Fly Team is crafted to help you level up your flying skills with individualized coaching based on your goals and experience.
You’ll dive into swing physics, master drills that sharpen your form, and build the strength and control to take your flying further. Together, we’ll explore back-end tricks, half turns, catching and returning both in and out of lines, and advanced techniques for layouts, cutaways, and beyond. You’ll also gain hands-on experience in catch locks and teacher training—preparing you to share your love of flying with others.
Each program wraps up with a recital performance at the end of the season!
Additionally, NECCA offers a full spectrum of circus training opportunities, including group classes and private lessons with world class instructors. Following an orientation, Fly Team members will be welcome to train at all Members Only open training times at NECCA at no cost, allowing you to practice your circus skills.
