Well, I moved down to the sunny (and sometimes hurricane ravaged) Florida Culf Coast. If anyone is ever in the Panama City area hit me up for a fun night on the town...

I have enjoyed playing throughout Canada... club volleyball in Toronto, sand volleyball in Edmonton, and college volleyball (while at RMC) in Kingston... and now in the UK with the Oxford team. Looking forward to a great season!

3rd year undergraduate physicist. I started playing volleyball in secondary school in Hong Kong, but stopped when I came to UK for A-levels as I couldn't find any club. So when I joined ouvc, I learned volleyball again here. I have been in the club for two years, and it's always been so much fun in and out of the court!

2nd Year D.Phil. student in Clinical Medicine at The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics studying at Green College. This is my second season with the Oxford Women's Blues Team. Outside of volleyball I enjoy rowing and when I have the time playing as many sports as possible. Loving Oxford but seriously missing being in the Sun. Can't wait for the new season so we can get back to some serious partying! ;-)

Coach, NVL Men Secretary
I learned to play volleyball at geevers/vcl back in the days when people still played with white balls in a non rally point system and the dutch team could still become Olympic champions. Played for RVV, Visade-voorburg and the luton lions at university and I am now enjoying my second year at the Oxford university club, both as the Blues mens coach and as "Flubber" on court.
