The York Sport Committee is made up of ten elected representatives from the entire student body, and along with invaluable staff support are here to make your sporting experience possible.

Sam is the only full-time sabbatical officer on York Sport. This means he has just graduated, but is sticking round in York for another year to head up York Sport. He gets blamed when things don’t go so well or gets the praise when York’s sportmen and women do the white rose proud and boss Roses!

Becky is in charge of making sure all refereed college matches have officials adjudicating them. Although at times this can be quite a thankless job, it is essential to the smooth running of the college fixtures.

Laura, along with Kate, will be heading up the organisation of our two big tournaments: Varsity and Roses.

Cesca is primarily involved with the technical side behind any York Sport events.

Jo is in charge of the sport volunteer programme and will be working closely with both the Sport Centre and the Careers Department to get sport students in school helping out with sport. She is also keen to help each individual club develop through means of getting new members and retaining old ones through means such as showcase days.

Mark ensures the smooth running of the college sport programme and chairs the weekly College Sport meetings. He also fulfils the role of Vice-President and represents the sporting voice if for some reason or another Sam is unavailable.

For all money matters, Ros is your girl. As the other signatory of the York Sport account, she is always aware of what funds are available. She plays a massive part in the budgeting process and will be holding treasurers’ training at the start of term.

Kate is the other half of the pair of tournament secretaries. Like Laura, the organisation of Varsity and Roses is a massive part of her year.

As communications officer, Leila will be chairing the media sub-committee as well as being in charge of any communication issues and writing weekly York Sport newsletters.

Chris spearheads any York Sport Fundraising efforts, be that from writing sponsorship proposals or working to make events profitable.
