Greg Ford–A captain that will fight for you.

Dan Johnson–For me, the joy of Gotham is not about winning. The joy of Gotham is about being able to co-create a safe, competitive, uplifting, undeniably queer community with a bunch of passionate volleyball players. I want to be a captain so that I can be a part of developing and maintaining our supportive and vibrant D6 community. I want to leave it all out on the court, have fun, and look cute while doing it. I have learned so much from the D6 captains and would be honored to join them in making next season the best one yet!

Thomas Gallino–I’m kind of a B**ch, yeah the boys all know….. but you should vote me for captain cuz I bring the good vibes on the court. I’ve got the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent (and delusion) to be a great captain. So pick me, choose me, love me! But also…. Mama kudos to you for choosing me, for voting.

Andrew Ibendahl–Hi everybody! For those who don’t know, I was a captain for 6 seasons before the pandemic in a different division and I’ve decided I’d like to get back into it. When I was a captain previously, my goal was always to assemble a team to set people up for success on the court and fun off the court, and I’d be aiming to do the same this time around.

Robert Fang–Hey fam, it’s Rob! A D6 veteran for 4 seasons and your very own ‘BANANA buddha’ setter. I’m super excited to run for captain and carry on the legacy of the great captains before me. If elected, I’ll create a supportive and winning family. We’ll have fun with team-building socials, high octane energy and motivate each other to elevate our game while looking cute on the court. I’m also dedicated to retaining a strong and inclusive D6 community where everyone thrives on and off the court. Your vote means the world! Let’s make next season amazing and loud together!

Emilis (Em) Bružas–Hieeeee, I’m Em. You may recognize me from such hit singles as “girl look how red I ****ing look girl”, “yeah, I said malibu pineapple – are you judging me??” and “elegant tit”. Going into my first season as captain, my goal was to help elevate my favorite division to new competitive heights while having a gay old time along the way. Looking back, it’s been a really rewarding experience. I would love to do it all over again in the fall and continue fostering our D6 family. Let’s chase some aces!

Frank Ivancic–This Fall will be my fifth season in Division 6 and my sixth season with Gotham. Joining this league is the single best thing I have done since moving to New York from the BEAUTIFUL city of Cleveland, Ohio. I want to be a captain to help current and future players of D6 feel as welcome and loved as I have. (Also I love volleyball and want to pick a winning team) Basically, vote for me I love you xoxo kisses

Felix Ma–HELLO D6!!! I would love the opportunity to be a leader and captain in a division that brought me in and helped me grow as a volleyball player and community member. As a captain I will aim to continue and contribute to the inclusivity and competition that is fostered in our division. I look forward to seeing you all on the court again this fall! 🙂

Johnny Cordero–Division 6 has been so loving, kind, competitive and enriching for me! All thanks to my past 6 captains Brady and Romy! As a captain I’d keep spreading the love and continue the tradition of 6 captains of making fierce teams on and off the court! C‘Mon 6, let’s get Six-ening!!!

Brady –The last 11 seasons I’ve had the honor to serve as a D6 captain, I’ve learned three things: 1. Big loud, extra energy on the court makes matches more fun and both teams play better. 2. Pink eyeshadow runs when you’re sweating and can stain your skin for SEVERAL days. 3. The safe space that Division 6 provides is the perfect place to find your identity, design your chosen family, and celebrate your queerness. I love you, Division 6. Vote for me and lets have some big stupid, faggoty fun together.

Dan McCabe–Hi D6, I’m Dan McCabe and I hope you’ll support me in my bid for re-election as a captain! I’ve been a member of Gotham now for 8+ years, and a 4-time captain, twice in D5, and the past 2 seasons in D6. I deeply value the community that Gotham and D6 have offered me, and I’d welcome another opportunity to lead a team again in the fall 2024 season. Thank you!

Mikey Castro–Much like this baby alligator, I will nurture my team to be strong and powerful. Gotham is my second home and I love sharing my passion a captain with others and bringing people and our community together in a safe and accepting space. If I get your vote you can guarantee and fun and competitive season on and off the court!
