Daryl Yong

Hello ICUMS! I am Daryl, a candidate for the sports officer position for the Malaysian Society.

Sports have been a big part of my life and I am certain that almost everyone would relate to it. I believe I am fit for this role as I have experiences in being the captain of the cheerleading coed team and the funding director of the Interact Club. Through these societies I have learnt the importance of leadership, communication, project management and teamwork for organising events.

My plans are as the sports officer are:

1. Organise weekly sports sessions for football, basketball, table tennis, netball, badminton and volleyball for students to play sports casually
   • Taster sessions will be available for every sport at the start of autumn and spring term after exams
   • Will be held at convenient locations such as Ethos
2. Introduce cheerleading and bouldering as new sports for ICUMS
   • Cheerleading:
     • weekly/bi-weekly 2 hour sessions on saturdays either
     • Basic stunts will be thought
     • Fees approximately £3
   • Bouldering:
     • Bi-weekly/monthly sessions at London climbing gyms
     • Fees dependent on the gym selected
     • Gyms selected will have student discounts
3. Organise a ICUMS sports day/buddy family sports day
   • Sports/games day for buddy families to win points and prizes
4. Collaborate with sports societies/msoc societies from other universities for friendly matches
   • Organise sport matches such as captainball and volleyball
5. Ease the registration process for MGames and settle transportation
   • Create new jerseys for participants

I hope that you will consider me to be your sports officer!
