Jeremy Chapa–The Gotham volleyball community is a platform for fostering connections, building friendships, and having fun. My goal as a captain would be to create a safe space for players each week where they can find joy in the game and a sense of belonging within our community. I envision a supportive space where every member feels not only the thrill of competition but also the warmth of camaraderie. I have 3 years of experience captaining competitive-level volleyball teams in a different LGBTQ organization. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the importance of having spaces where we can be ourselves without judgment. I am dedicated to ensuring that our league remains a safe and welcoming space for everyone, where individuality is celebrated and mutual respect is non-negotiable.
