Who's going?
The University of Essex has chosen AMORE & JOSH to represent them. So who are we?
Hello my name is Amore Castelyn and I study at the University of Essex. As a sports fanatic I love new experiences and I've been told by my friends that I'm very motivated about sport. I can't wait for the trip to Dubna and representing the University of Essex is an honour. I see this trip as a great opportunity and start to my tennis career that I hope one day will be a reality. I cannot wait to interact with the other players and gain the experience of having a ball boy/girl and an umpire on the court. When it comes to tennis I have a great passion for the sport and see myself as a fun and a enthusiastic person. This trip is going to be one amazing experience where we can make new friends and memories with the team and just over all have a great tournament.
Hello my name is Josh Pollard and I also study at the University of Essex. I have been involved with tennis my whole life whether it's been competing, playing socially or coaching. It has been a fun journey. I have competed all over the UK but never abroad and to have the opportunity to play competitive tennis in Russia is something special. I will do the very best I can to embrace this experience.
