About Us

World Volleyball Day unites global players to celebrate the sport while raising awareness and standing together against bullying through events, education, and community engagement.

Our Mission

More Than Just a Game

World Volleyball Day is more than a celebration of sport — it’s a global stand against bullying. Powered by the Block the Bully movement, this initiative unites volleyball communities around the world in a powerful message of inclusion, resilience, and support. By coming together on the court, players and fans symbolically and literally ‘block’ bullying, using volleyball as a platform to amplify awareness and empower youth. Every serve, every set, and every rally represents a collective voice rising against intimidation and isolation. World Volleyball Day turns the passion for volleyball into a force for good, inspiring players of all ages to speak up, support one another, and create safe spaces where everyone belongs — on and off the court.

Personal Journey

Our Why

Your support helps us create a world where every child feels safe, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.

I was bullied in elementary school, junior high, and all four years of high school. It was hard, but I survived. I learned to tune out the negativity of those who bullied me to cause harm, while recognizing that sometimes people acted out because they were struggling themselves.

"No one gets bullied anymore."

When I shared my story with my daughter, she said something that really stuck with me. She’s a good kid, maybe a little naïve, but she’s never had to deal with being bullied herself. And that’s what I want for every kid—to never feel the way I did growing up.

But the reality is, bullying is still out there. Everyone deals with it in their own way, and I want to share my story to help others navigate through it. I want to inspire schools, volleyball clubs, churches, and communities to come together and fight against bullying in all its forms.

What I've learned in my 35 years around the sport of volleyball is that it's filled with incredible people—people who care, people who support one another, and people who make a difference. My hope is to unite the volleyball community and beyond to create a movement of kindness and understanding.

If my story can inspire even one person to stand up, speak out, or offer kindness to someone in need, then it's worth sharing.

I’d love the opportunity to share it with your school, your club, or your community, so together we can make an impact and show the next generation that bullying has no place in our world.
