About Me
Hi, my name is Vera! 😊 I’ve been a part of the team since it started in 2019 and was the captain for the 2023-2024 season. I helped create our team’s logo and organized fun things like birthday celebrations, as well as more serious tasks like writing team policies and FAQ documents. I absolutely love playing Catchball and have never stopped working to improve myself and our team.
In my free time, I enjoy performing stand-up comedy, singing, interior design, fashion, and going to live concerts. I’m excited to share my passions with you too! 🎉
My Favorite Position
My favorite position is 2 for attacking, and 6 for defending.
My Favorite Memory of Catchball
My favorite memory with the team is our last trip to Tucson, Arizona, for the 2024 annual tournament. We stayed in an Airbnb and had such a fun, united time together. I’ve never laughed as hard as I did on that trip! We explored the city together, played together, and spent nights talking. I remember those days fondly.
What I like about Catchball
What I love most about Catchball is the incredible energy wave you share with the team during tournaments. It’s an amazing feeling of unity, like becoming part of something big and powerful. It makes me feel energized, happy, and excited!
My Advice for New Players
Don’t be afraid to try something new, practice, and enhance your skills. During practice, it’s the perfect time to try—even if you’re not confident about an action. This is when you grow and become stronger.
My second piece of advice: when you fail, tell yourself, “next” and let it go. Next time, you’ll do better. Focus on what’s ahead, not what’s behind.
