🌍 Join the movement as over 30 European clubs have already joined our Circular Gear Project, generously donating gear and equipment to support our projects. 🙌
Our dedicated team of volunteers is working tirelessly to ensure that every child receives these donations with care and joy. To make their incredible work even smoother, we've compiled 8 essential tips for you to consider:
1. Reach out to us and let's connect! 🤝

2. 📦 Help us ship the gift of volleyball to those in need! 🌍
When we send donations to our projects, we rely on your support to cover the costs of shipment. For instance, in a recent endeavour, we shipped 2 large pallets of volleyball gear to Tanzania, filled with balls, nets, and essential gear. The shipping expenses alone amounted to approximately 800 euros.
To make a difference and contribute to our shipping efforts, we invite you to explore our specially designed fundraising platform. It allows you to create a personalized activity page where you can raise funds, track your progress, and share updates with your supporters.
By leveraging the power of community and generosity, we can ensure that our donations reach their intended destinations and positively impact the lives of children around the world. Together, let's make volleyball accessible and bring joy to those who need it most.

4. 💌 Make your donation personal and heartfelt! 🎥
Your support has the power to bring joy and inspiration to children in need. When you make a donation, take a moment to add a personal touch that will make it even more meaningful.
Write a heartfelt support note or record a short video message to let the recipients know that they are in your thoughts and that you stand with them. Share words of encouragement, or inspiration, or simply express your love for the game of volleyball.
By personalizing your donation, you create a special connection that goes beyond the physical items being sent. Your message will be a source of comfort and motivation for the children who will receive your generous contribution.
Together, we can make a difference, one personalized donation at a time. Your act of kindness will brighten someone's day and remind them that they are not alone.
5. ⚙️ Donate equipment and empower the game! 🏐💪
While gear is important, we have a greater need for essential equipment to keep the game of volleyball thriving in underprivileged communities. By directing a larger portion of your donation towards equipment, you can make an even bigger impact.
Equipment such as nets, antennae, balls, pumps, whistles, line judge flags, and ropes play a crucial role in creating a complete volleyball experience for the children we serve. These items are the building blocks that enable them to fully engage in the sport and develop their skills.
With your support, we can bridge the gap and ensure that every child has access to the necessary equipment to play and enjoy volleyball to its fullest. By focusing on equipment donations, you empower young athletes and provide them with the tools they need to pursue their passion.
Together, let's level the playing field and enhance the volleyball experience for children worldwide.
6. 👧🧒 Gear Up the Future Generation! 🎽🏐
As we strive to provide every child with the opportunity to experience the joy of volleyball, we kindly request your support in focusing on gear specifically designed for young boys and girls. While we appreciate gear for adults as well, our current projects predominantly involve children, and we want to ensure that their needs are met.
By directing your efforts towards collecting and donating gear suitable for children, you can directly impact their volleyball journey. From jerseys and shorts to knee pads and shoes, these items play a vital role in fostering their love for the game and building their confidence on the court.
We understand that gear for adults may be more readily available, but your dedication to gathering gear tailored for young players will make a significant difference. Let's equip the next generation of volleyball stars with the right gear and empower them to reach their full potential.
7. 🛠️ Prepare for the Perfect Pass! 📦🏐
As we gear up to deliver smiles and volleyball opportunities to children around the world, we kindly request your assistance in getting ready for our shipments. By following a few simple steps, you can help us streamline the donation process and maximize the impact of your contribution.
1️⃣ Deflate the Balls:
Before packing your donated balls, please take a moment to deflate them. This small but essential step saves valuable time for our dedicated volunteers, ensuring that we can efficiently prepare the gear for shipment. Deflating just one box of 50 balls can take a whole morning, so your support in this regard is truly invaluable.
2️⃣ Sort by Sizes:
To enhance the distribution process, we kindly ask you to sort your gear by size. This way, we can quickly match the donated items with the needs of specific age groups, allowing us to make a more targeted impact. By organizing the gear in advance, you help us ensure that every child receives equipment that fits them perfectly.
3️⃣ Pack with Care:
As you pack your donation, please consider attaching a small letter that describes precisely what you are contributing. This will assist our team in accurately documenting and allocating the gear, guaranteeing that it reaches the right hands. Additionally, a clean and well-packed donation helps us maintain the quality and integrity of the items, ensuring they arrive in optimal condition.
Your attention to these details not only saves our team precious time and effort but also enables us to focus on our mission of bringing joy and opportunity to children through volleyball. Together, we can make a significant impact on their lives and inspire their passion for the sport.
