I want you to get the same but better! That´s why I will be working with you and the committee to make sure that you have the best experience possible. I will do my best to give Volleyball the importance it deserves at University by ensuring the highest possible performance of our Teams but, that´s not possible without the Social members...

Hi, my name is Inês and I am the Events Officer of the club. My role within the club is to organise events to bring us all together, whether that is playing volleyball, mini-golf, bowling or simply going out for a meal. I have always been involved in sport but when I came to University I really wanted to join a team and a community, I choose Volleyball which not only was great to develop new skills but also to meet amazing people and have a great time. I am currently studying Sport and Exercise Science. You can say sport is a big part of my life but I am also obsessed with travelling around the world, cooking and reading. If you have any questions regarding the club or any ideas for future events don’t hesitate to come talk to me or send me an email
ERIN THOMAS
Social & Wellbeing Officer
Hello I'm Erin your other Social and Wellbeing officer, i'm a 3rd year photography student who loves a dip in the ocean on a Wednesday night! I joined Volleyball in my 2nd year of uni after making the HUGE mistake of not joining a society in 1st year. Straight away I felt a part of an amazing group of people, even though I'm not the best Volleyballer, I felt welcomed and a part of both the sporting side and social side of the club! That's why my aims for this year is to bring both sides of the club closer, hoping to engaged both 1st team, recreational, and social members creating socials that everyone can enjoy! From classy boat balls, naughty oceans and supporting the team court side I can not wait for another amazing year with NTU volleyball!
ANNABELLE WATSON
Social Secretary
I'm annabelle and I'm a 3rd year psychology student! I joined volleyball last year and fell in love with the club straight away. I found the sport fun and exciting, despite being a complete beginner and definitely not a natural! The members are friendly and welcoming; a large group of people who can very quickly become your 'family'! I love socialising and it's certainly no lie that this perhaps takes priority over other parts of my uni life, oops! This is one of the reasons I have taken on the role of social secretary this year. My aim is to get the whole of the club from our dedicated first team members to our dedicated social members socialising regularly through a variety of activities such as ocean Wednesdays, film nights, volleyball tournaments, days out, meals and much more! I look forward to another amazing year with our volley family.
DENISA KATRINA PASTAR
Women's 1st Team Captain
Welcome to the club everyone! I am the captain for the women’s team and I hope to work alongside every one of you to improve and bring the team to greater heights. My aim for this year is for our team to be at the top of our league to get a chance for promotions. Trainings will be tough, strict and exhausting but that is the price to pay to win. Even though it will be serious on court, let’s have fun off court to make the most out of this year and our student life.
