-
- Keith Kemery — I am interested in Captain for the Spring Season 2019 for the same reason why I play in Gotham. I truly love the sport and as Captain I would hope to make the volleyball experience the most rewarding and feeling of community that it can be. I have captain’ed in past years and I feel now I want to give back to the Gotham community again. My experience in playing for 10 years and my exposer to power classes, I hope to bring to the team the best experience of the season.

- Alandy Bautista — The essence of being a captain is to be a dedicated & responsible leader who puts his personal glory aside for the interest of the team. As a competitive player, he should promote sportsmanship. As a role model, he should lead by example who is inspiring, encouraging & commending. Spring Season is a new start, a fresh beginning – and a time to pursue new endeavors with new goals. To my dearest Division 9 Family I’m running again as a captain in Spring who created two magnificent teams : Aphrodite Ace in Fall 2017 & Bohemian Butterfly in Spring 2018.
-
- Patrick Callahan — I love to pick teams of players (especially ones who are better than I am at volleyball), help them have a great time in Division 9, then watch them continue to improve as they move to other teams or advance to higher divisions. I’d really appreciate the chance to keep doing so.
-
- Eric Eichenholtz — I’ve had the honor of being a Captain several times and have loved every minute of it! I work hard to pick the best players available based on volleyball skills and teamwork. My goal is to build good, diverse teams that can compete, are low drama and also have fun. I love working with my fellow Captains to create a friendly, social Division. I also work to insure that everyone on my team and in the Division feels a part of our community. I’d be honored if you allow me another opportunity to serve as Captain this Spring!

- Jonathan Cordero — I am loving my new home in Division 9, playing with and against the awesome members in this division! Looking for an opportunity to create an amazing team next season to have a competitive, fun, and community enriching experience on and off the court. My past instances as a team captain have shown me that one of the most rewarding parts of Gotham is the forming of a great team to bond and grow with, having created amazing friendships and developing great talent. I am excited to be your captain in the Spring and meet those expectations once again. 🙂
