TEAM HISTORY

Why this name for your team?

We are the VA BEACH FOUR, because there are 4 of us, and we all work at iFLY VA BEACH.
We’re real creative, huh?

When and why was the team formed ?

We originally formed the team for the 2017 nationals as a fun side project. After performing well enough to earn a medal, we decided to step in to the workshop and build a better team. Our current line-up will have 19 days to train before we leave for the Sakura Cup.

Where do you train ?

All of our training was held at the US Dojo, AKA: iFLY VA BEACH.

Who are your sponsors?

Our team is sponsored by iFLY VA BEACH, Strike Force Energy, Tonfly Special Suits and Helmets, Cookie Composites, and Turbolenza.
