The Parachutists Over Phorty Society or POPS is a club for skydivers over the age of
forty. The first POPS was founded in 1966 in the USA and has spread to many countries
around the world. Competitions at meets include accuracy, formation skydiving and the
special POPS competition the Hit and Rock. Membership requirements are that a person has
made a parachute jump and is over forty years of age.
An smaller group within POPS is the SOS - Skydivers over Sixty - and there even some JOES
- Jumpers Over Eighty.
POPS clubs hold regular meets in their own countries, and every two years hold a World
meet. World meets have taken place
