Ella Haythornthwaite
Hockey Womens (ICSM): Club Captain
I’m Ella and I’d love to be your CC next year! I can honestly say joining the hockey club was THE BEST decision I’ve made since coming to uni and I want EVERYONE experience what this club has to offer.
During my time in ICSMLHC I’ve been socialsec and 3s captain, meaning I am well equipped to tackle both the sports and social calendars for the year.
Aims
- advocate for the club with IA and the union on key issues such as varsity dates + the never ending transport problem
- Finalise the sponsorship deal to get extra funding
Freshers
- Book bar at Indian gymkhana for initial bonding after funday
- establish fresher buddy system
- Relaxed social after freshers (baking/ pottery etc)
Team development
- collaborate with coaches+captains to make sure every team is getting the most from training, improving skills and having fun!!
- Focus on developing players and integrating teams
- ensure each team gets individual, specific feedback after training
- socials for getting to know new players and team bonding
Socials
- Variety of socials including chilled nights like tea/crochet/crafts/food.
- costume of the week and other fun challenges
Welfare
- make the club a really supportive place for everyone
- Regular committee meetings to ensure everyone feels supported in their roles and works as a team
I’ve had so much fun captaining the 3s this year and the club is bigger and better than ever!!
I hope to maintain the culture and vibe that we all love so much and can’t wait for another amazing season
