Experienced Skydivers
When is a drop zone not just a drop zone? When it’s Glidersports of course!
We’re the enthusiasts destination for a reason…
Welcome to the best midwest skydiving facility! Glidersports Skydiving is here to offer Missouri something it’s never seen before: the best location, the most dedicated and experienced staff, and the newest and fastest fleet of performance aircraft in the region…seven days a week by appointment. If you live in Kansas City, Springfield, Joplin, Lake of the Ozarks, Jefferson City or the Columbia areas we are the best skydiving near you. Once you’ve jumped with us, you will want to keep coming back!
Whether you’re a seasoned belly flier, a wingsuit pilot looking for a flock, or a wind tunnel trained shredder, we have what you need! At Glidersports Skydiving, we’re dedicated to safety and performance – and we believe that neither should compromise the other.
Year Round Service!
We aren’t afraid of the cold or the heat. GliderSports is here skydiving seven days a week! We’re ready to fly when you are.
Highest Altitude!
We offer high-altitude oxygen loads to 18,000 ft on a regular basis. You can find masks and cannula available for purchase from the store.

The more the merrier
We encourage you to bring your family! We don’t bite, and if your humans and animals don’t either they are welcome. Your pets must stay on a leash or in the dog park. It must be friendly with others and due be sure to pick after them at all times.
Bonfires
Skydiving was built around the bonfire. This is the best place to learn and ask questions in a low-pressure environment. It’s where your instructors and coaches become your best friends. GliderSports is known for the most epic bonfires in the midwest.
Stay the night!
There are hotels in town, but we know you’d rather stay on the property. We have a bunkhouse with reasonable rates and no charge camping. If you have an RV you can even purchase a slot, and make a vacation home here. The best perk to staying on property? First load in the morning!
Eat and relax!
Nothing brings skydivers together better than food! We love to cook out, and we have plenty of grills to facilitate a good get together. We’ve also been known to take over entire sections of local restaurants
