The Rookie A Class lineup, with Wilson Ma, Cristian Trefault, guided by player coaches David and Deb Correia, was the only Northwest team scoring higher than the Florida groups.
The New England group scored significantly higher at SkyVenture New Hampshire than in March. Organizers Brian Touhey and Jeff Atherton had a new lineup with Chris Civie and Beth Lahr York who covered both the AAA and the AA Class sequences. Eli Bolotin was new in the A and Rookie AAA Class lineups. Andrew Stone and Dick Tucker joined the New England team for the first time in the Rookie AA and Rookie A categories.
The new sequences for the month of May have been posted, and they bring the first 6-point sequence of the year to the AAA Class flyers. iFLY Orlando is now trying to help the Florida group and all flyers with additional support. A special "Weekly Membership" program offers flying time for a largely discounted rate.
iFLY Orlando has been supporting the recruiting program of the Florida Skydiving League with complimentary tunnel time ever since the program was launched in August 2011. The mission was to increase participation in the FSL indoor and outdoor activities, which turned out be become a big success story only in Florida first. Deb Correia joined the fun project at iFLY Seattle in July 2012, and both groups have battled it out month by month ever since and until New England became the next player at SkyVenture New Hampshire. The draw for the month of May is now posted, and other groups from around the globe are welcome to join at any time.
