Nevada Soaring Association is a glider club that encourages and trains individuals to explore and expand their limits while practicing the art of safe soaring. NSA is located at the Air Sailing Gliderport in Warm Springs Valley north of Reno, Nevada.

Contact one of the following NSA officials to find out more. They should be able to answer any questions. The club officers and instructors will help you set up a customized training and/or checkout program with a path to membership into our club. Your membership application must be endorsed by a club officer, and you must complete a local area checkout or cleared for solo flight to join NSA for the first time. Then, when you have met the insurance requirements, you will be cleared to fly as a PIC in one or several of our aircraft.
