24 New Teams Adopted Across Africa

A Milestone Year for Grassroots Volleyball

This year marks a significant step forward for Let’s Keep The Ball Flying as 24 new grassroots volleyball teams across Africa have been adopted through our 'Adopt a Team' programme. Working closely with trusted local partners, these teams now have access to structured training, essential equipment, competitive opportunities and educational support. The aim is simple: create sustainable pathways for young athletes and strengthen volleyball communities from the ground up.

Global Support, Local Impact

The programme is powered by a diverse group of supporters: professional athletes, clubs, brands and volleyball fans, all committed to long-term impact rather than one-off gestures.

Their support helps local teams train consistently, compete with confidence, and stay connected to the global volleyball community.

Real Stories Behind the Number

Every adoption comes with its own story.

Modena Volley has linked on-court performance directly to impact, turning every ace scored into a donation for their adopted team. The initiative has energised their fan base while delivering tangible support where it’s needed most.

Slunks and Bring It Promotions went a step further, visiting their adopted teams during the summer outreach tour. Seeing the impact in person - in schools, on courts and within communities, reinforced why long-term commitment matters.

What Adoption Delivers

Each adopted team receives support tailored to local needs, including:

• Regular training and coaching development

• Access to proper volleyball equipment

• Opportunities to compete in organised matches

• Educational support and mentorship

• Connection to GURU, LKTBF’s global online community.

  
  

This combination builds confidence, consistency, and opportunity - on and off the court.
