Did You Know...

... that the Northwest Skydiving League keeps building 4-way momentum at iFLY Seattle?

NWSL group at iFLY Seattle
posted Mar 31st, 2015 - The group of Czech teams was the first one this month to post scores and videos for the six Indoor Cloud League sequences, and the Hurricane Factory is still holding on quite easily to the top spot, while four of the Czech teams are getting ready for the World Challenge 2015.

Northwest Skydiving League director Deb Correia provided the latest ICL scores after her March event at iFLY Seattle. She said that several of her regular player coaches were not available in March, and she organized only one Tunnel Kicker in her Seattle home chamber:

"We had a good turnout, with nine participants and seven player coaches. The four teams each flew for 15 minutes, flying two or three different sequences. We had two new participants, Ali Criss and Joshua Sattler, neither of whom had ever flown 4-way or really any FS in the tunnel. They both did an outstanding job, turning in the high scores for the team in R and RR." Deb Correia and Bill Selig were the player coaches for the new ICL competitors.

Deb Correia said that she also had a number of participants at the event who haven't flown in some time, or who were new to the Indoor Cloud League competition (Babs Selig, Nancy McFadden, Nikita Shvachko, and coach Helen Ursachii). Randy Barbee, Kurt Ferstl, Nat Mote and John Brown rounded out the group. Additional player coaches were Djordje Mandaric, Andrew Marenich, Dave Correia and Jeff Smith.

Once again, Deb Correia also added a few extra flying sessions with three different groups to the regular event throughout the month to complete the ICL scores.

Her team Fun Sponge (Jay Alspach, Kelli Alspach, Zackary Smathers) turned in the 18-pointer for the RRR Class sequence. She also had a lineup with Monica Aikins, Jeremy Eggum and D'Arcy Kaaua who posted the highest iFLY Seattle score for the A Class sequence.

The JOES with Dave Correia
Deb Correia's husband Dave is the player coach for the JOES. He was dealing with a shoulder injury and could not fly in March. Deb Correia filled his slot for the JOES and took on the AA and AAA Class sequences. She reported a challenging situation for the A Class team of the past years:

"While Djordje Mandaric has had the opportunity to fly a few slot switchers in the past few months, this was the first time for Charles Wesley, and he did a great job with the brain teaser. It was also the first time the team, which also includes Denis Pershakov, had ever flown Block 3. There definitely was some good learning going on."

Deb Correia is happy with the progression in her NWSL area: "The momentum continues to build in Seattle. We recently confirmed the dates for our NWSL meets, and we are looking forward to more teams participating, which can be attributed directly to the Indoor Cloud League."
