West Cork Volleyball Club

As 2025 comes to an end, my heart is overflowing with pride and gratitude. This year was not about how many sessions we ran or how busy the calendar became — it was about people. It was about every single player who walked into the hall, sometimes shy, sometimes nervous, always willing to try.

And they grew — in more ways than we could have imagined.

Growing in Skill and Confidence

Over the months, we watched players learn the basics of volleyball — passing, serving, positioning, movement — but what stood out most was confidence. Players who once hesitated began to step forward. Mistakes turned into learning moments. Effort replaced fear. Each small improvement was celebrated, because every step forward mattered.

Growing in Friendship and Belonging

Something special happened this year. Friendships formed naturally — Teammates became encouragers. Laughter filled the hall. Players learned to cheer for each other, to wait their turn, to celebrate success together and support one another when things felt hard.

This club became a place where players felt they belonged. A place to be themselves, to be accepted, and to be part of something bigger than just a game.

Looking Ahead with Full Hearts

As we look toward 2026, I feel incredibly hopeful. The foundation we built this year wasn’t just skills on a court — it was confidence, kindness, teamwork, and trust.

I am so proud of every player for showing up, trying, learning, and growing. And I am deeply thankful to every family who believed in this journey.

2025 shaped us.
2026 will grow us even more.

With pride and excitement,

Coach 💙🏐
