Full Sail Armada athletes, casters, stream team members, and staff recently came together in the Full Sail University Orlando Health Fortress to celebrate the kick-off of the fall 2023 season. With competitive play already in full swing, the event gave student-athletes the chance to connect with Armada staff and graduates, meet this year’s club leadership, and receive their coveted 2023 Armada player jerseys.
