To lead a nice and competitive team

I would love to serve as captain for another season to cultivate the competitive and social vibes that we've built in division one in recent seasons! I make sure that all of my players feel welcome and included in the league on and off the court. I got double gold last season with my team and would love to run it back to keep division one competitive! As division representative, we've made so many positive improvements to the division and as a captain, this helps me in my leadership role ensure that all logistics are organized and that captains are aware of dates and deadlines ASAP once they're released. I love this league and division so much!!!

She’s serving dad vibes… she’s serving grace… she’s serving beauty… she’s serving wisdom… she’s serving experience… she’s serving aces… and she likes serving as captain!
