A hugely important partnership aligned with our soon to be launched Diversity & Inclusion Action Plan. Volleyball is a sport that has gender parity when it comes to the player base but a very different picture when it comes to positions of authority such as coaches. Our partnership with FabLittleBag will focus on encouraging our affiliated clubs to have a fully stocked Fab Little Bag of products at every practice and game and easily accessible if needed. Equally important, the partnership will focus on education for coaches to breakdown any taboos and often awkwardness when discussing the subject. We are joining the ‘Period Supportive’ movement and would encourage other sporting system partners to join us. Individually we are strong, together we are unstoppable.
