*The mission of The LOVB Foundation is to provide access to and opportunities through volleyball for everyone who wants to play.  Gainesville Juniors and The LOVB Foundation work together to provide opportunities for our families in community.*

Volleyball is the #1 girls team sport in the country, and one of the fastest growing sports for boys in the country. The sport matters because it provides a source of joy and connection, a venue for critical life lessons, and ultimately, a pathway to educational and economic advancement.

The LOVB Foundation exists to give more young people access to volleyball and to the life-changing opportunities the sport creates. Working closely with clubs across the country, the LOVB Foundation helps young people get the financial aid they need to stay in the game—and reap lifelong benefits.

Volleyball is a catalyst for empowerment of young people, girls in particular. Its benefits are powerful and far-reaching, from an athlete’s personal and holistic growth to understanding how to make a team and community successful.  Unique to volleyball, athletes learn in a fast-paced, interdependent environment with scoring on every exchange and constant feedback from teammates and coaches.  These lessons, imparted through the sports of volleyball, shape young people into great athletes and teammates—and prepare them for life.

*"Not every play works out, and not every situation is what you expect. Volleyball has taught me to adjust to whatever life throws at me." -17yo financial aid recipient*

*"My daughter was ecstatic when she came home after the first day of tryouts. It hurt knowing that after looking at the fees, we were going to have to tell her “no.” I literally cried on the phone when I learned that my girl was going to be able to play, despite our finances." - Mom of aid recipient*

Please consider giving the gift of volleyball today!
