My name is Mareena
Sweat, I am currently the Commissioner of AZGV.
I have been involved with the league since mid 2004.
I started playing after Eric Reyes told me about it and the great things
that were happening. I ran for the board as Player Representative in for
the 2005-2006 term. I was a part of the board until early 2006. I saw an
opportunity to run for Commissioner for the 2007-2008 term and decided I
could make a difference in this league and asked several other players
to join me in leading the league into the future.
I play on a team in the Monday Night League and have
recently formed a team for the Tuesday night league also. I enjoy being a part of the community and am
always looking for new players, especially on my team! I would love to
have more women play in our league and offer the invitation for all
women looking to be a part of the fastest growing gay sports league in
Arizona to come out and join us. If you are looking for a team to join,
send me an email and I would be happy to find a team to place you on. If
you have an entire team, then you are ready to join the fray. You don't
have to be a "pro" volleyball player to be involved. Our
recreational division on Monday nights is here for those players looking
to get involved in a sport that may be new to them. We will be hosting
open play on Monday nights for the next 3 weeks for anyone looking to
improve their skills or just have some fun.
As a former US Army officer, I have the drive to succeed
and want to ensure everyone that we will succeed as a league and
welcome everyone's ideas, opinions and suggestions.
