-
- Zaldy Santos — Volleyball has been part of my life for more than a decade or so. It helped me develop friendship and camaraderie to the people around me with the same passion for the sport. Throughout the years, I acquired some knowledge and skills in which I want to impart as my way of saying “BIG THANK YOU” to my adoptive community for more than a year now. Gotham had been nice to me, I gained a lot of friends, improved my confindence and expanded my network. If elected as a captain, I will ensure that Gotham’s mission is on TOP of my priorities…

- Veasna Mao — On my very first day at Gotham, a very wise coach quoted Aristotle: “Set it Bitch.” Well thanks to Aristotle, in my three years at Gotham I have come to learn more than just setting as well as other key ingredients to the game of volleyball – and of life. It is with passion and courage of conviction, and strong sense of self that I hope to take in this role of captain, remember that first pass is not always correct. You must always have faith in your back row. and most importantly, you must have faith in your hands.

- Joe Eletto — The success of any Gotham division rests largely on captains’ ability to put together competitive, cohesive and fun teams. It’s been a pleasure and privilege serving as captain in Division 7 these past few seasons, and I hope to employ the experience I’ve gained to make sure our division continues to be a place people look forward to being every weekend. See you in 2019! #Snaxxx

- Will Schwartz — Hi guys! This was my first season as a captain, and having learned a lot of important lessons about leadership and strategy (acapella-grade cheers don’t guarantee you a medal), I’m ready for round two. In addition to winning, my main goals are to always positively motivate all my teammates and for everyone to enjoy the social aspect of Gotham in addition to the sport- I was the only D7 captain this season who organized and executed a team mixer with every team. So vote for me if you want a season full of good vibes, good times, and great cheers!

- Sothdra Nguon-Devereaux — Hi, I’m Sothdra! I’ve been captain a few times and I always pick a fun, cute, competitive team as the standings can tell you (ayyyyy jk). I think I’m a pretty D7-level player too (I’m the one who sets on my knees). I try to improve the division; I introduced team mixers so the newbies would have an easier time socializing and I think it’s gone well. Also, you know y’all want to take a peek at my scouting/strategy emails. I’d love to captain again if you’d have me ❤! What’s the character limit on this thi

- Artus Concepcion — It is both and honor and a responsibility to play the role of a captain. On one hand, it is honorary because it serves a recognition of one’s credibility and ability to lead and on the other hand, a big responsibility, because next to the coach it is the captain who becomes in charge fir the betterment of the entire team.

- Ron Solis — It would be such a great time and experience to continue being a captain in D7!!!
-
- Joe Colello — Hey everyone! I am running to bring universal healthcare, a new green deal, and strong LGBT anti-discrimination protections to America! Let’s ride this blue wave to victory! Oh wait…wrong election. Just looking to pick a fun and competitive team on and off the court. I’ve been in Gotham for over 4 years and have played in D7 for 4 seasons. I’ve been on so many great teams (and some not so great ones) and think I can use what I’ve learned to captain a great team. I also really want to beat Sothdra, kthanks!

- Raymond Tam — Joining Gotham opened my eyes to the sport of volleyball. I have since come to love the game, largely due to the incredible community of amazing people who I now cherish as close friends. I would be happy to have the opportunity to mold that kind of experience for others, hopefully while winning some shinies at the same time.
-
- Andrew Dowdye — Hey D7!!! I’m running for captain and looking for your vote for the Spring 2019 season. Being a captain these past two seasons has been a great experience by building a team, improving together and bonding off the court. I would love the opportunity to continue doing this. Thank you in advance.

- Alex Breton — I would love to run again as a captain for Division 7. I’ve been grateful to Gotham Volleyball for the best experiences both for me and my teammates for the past 3 seasons. Counting on your votes for the Spring Season! 🙂
