Candidate for the position of Football & Futsal Women's - Futsal Coordinator

Emi Humphrey

Hello,

Most of you will know me as "Emi" and I will be in my second year at uni and I am running for the futsal coordinator position for next year! 

During my first year at Uni, my experience with the women's futsal and football lot combined has been hugely enjoyable due to great emphasis on the level of football and futsal we have played, as well as the the socials and team-bonding activities. The players and the team as a whole at UODWFC has have given a notable account of themselves both on and off the pitch. However, through this election I feel like I can continue to strengthen this platform formed this year and all the other years that it has been a success too because as a lot of you know I love futsal!!! I plan to create an environment that is not only compeititve and focused, but one that is fun, friendly and full of banter in the hope anyone willing to try the sport will get something out of it.

Therefore, if elected, I propose the following:

-To continue being successful as a team, sustaining that fun environment to work in so it bounces on and off the pitch. I believe that these things will be continued due to the commitment we have towards the league and the cup competitions due to us being so successful in them this season.

-A clearer pathway to be created so that if you are 1st team, 2nd team or 3rd team you know what you can do to progress up the ranks as well as getting the same treatment/equality communicated to you as everyone else does so that your not feeling that one team gets more attention than the other etc.

-I will help to organise friendly matches and tournaments to help with the consistency of playing throughout the whole year so that more practice is in the system before the BUCS league games and cup competitions start to occur so that the right preparation is there for the taking. 

I think that these aims will bring a positive outlook because they are all necessary requirements to make a team have that togetherness and fight with achievements coming as a bonus.

In relation to me and my experiences I feel like I have a lot of knowledge within this sport as I have coached it a little bit of football mainly and a bit of futsal for my under 14's back home. I feel like this gave me the confidence and the skills in order for me to elect myself as a candidate for this role.

Thank you for reading my manifesto :)
