About the ESL

The ESL is a cooperation between organisations in various European countries, which organise a series of competitions of 4-way formation skydiving in each of the participating countries.

The goal is to synchronise these competitions whenever possible, also with the NSL in the United States. The season is then concluded with a Finals, to which the best teams of each of the countries are invited. This allows teams of all classes to compete in an international setting.

How it started

The ESL started in 2003 with founding countries Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands, and in September the first Finals were held at Skydivecenter Spa in Belgium. Since then more and more countries have joined, and the various classes were synchronised in terms of rules and divepools. From 2003 onwards the ESL Finals were held during the first or second weekend of September.
