Volleyball Club: President

Hi!

I am Morris, a Y2 biochemistry student and your current Men’s team captain. From playing in games, going to social volleyball and organising as a committee member, I have learned the ins and outs of the club.

Moreover, I believe I can bring my experience in organising social volleyball to the UCL scene. As an admin for a London-based Chinese volleyball society that runs weekly sessions, I am well aware of the expectations and responsibilities of organising social events.

These are just some of the improvements that I wish to bring to the UCL volleyball club:

• Have all court bookings sorted pre-season (minimum 2 two-hour social sessions per week). Our club’s court time at Somerstown is limited, but from organising sessions outside I have met many people in charge of the different venues in London. I believe I can secure courts for the ever-increasing demands of the club!
• Organise competitive games for social players. Currently, in the Chinese volleyball society we are training for the All Nations tournament that happens every year in London. Going from a social scene to a team vibe is something that is very exciting and I wish to bring that here.
• Make the ordering of associated merchandise available at the start of the academic year. This allows everyone to feel represented right from the start.
• Purchase new balls. It's about time to upgrade our equipment.
• Have social events that bring together the team and social players of the club.

 To an amazing year!

Hey guys I’m Masaya, 3rd Year Zoology student running for President! (fun part in bold)

After 3 years being in the society, with all the good time I had here, I would like to contribute to the further development and growth of the society, and thank them for the best society experience I had at UCL. I've seen the society from different perspective till now; as a social member, as a team player, and as committee (marketing director); and I feel my experience can be used for our society to evolve even more.

Done for the formal part, let’s bring the fun part: I love this society, and I want more people to love it too!

To do that, one of the first things I will project for next year, is more opportunities for members to feel included in the society: themed-sessions, events on each occasion, and more sports night on Wednesday! (our big society needs to flood scala)

Next, I would like to answer to what most of us felt this year: social sessions on double court! We all felt how squeezed up we were so let's change that shall we. Two session per week, double court, beginner sessions too; all we need for everybody to be satisfied!

And something I really want to organize with all of us: a society tournament! Have a day just playing volleyball with everybody till dead!

Those who wants to see that coming, vote for me. I am the one who will translate your love for volleyball into the best club activity.

Thank you for taking your time to read, and I hope I will see you guys on court!
