Ireland’s Junior National teams are in Small Countries Association action this April, and have kick started a fundraising campaign to help with the costs.
The u20 Men’s team are first on the plane a trip to Andorra to take on Gibraltar, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Northern Ireland and the hosts. Whilst our u18 girls head to Malta with the hosts and San Marino replacing Andorra and Liechtenstein.
Each trip costs in the region of €15,000 between flights, hotels and match fees. This puts the average cost per player in the region of €900.
There are several ways you can help;
1- Go Fund Me, each team have setup GoFundMe pages

2 – Individual player sponsors, you can sponsor a player for €250.
3- Team Sponsors are available for €2,000.
If you’re interested in sponsoring a player or team you can reach out to Gary Stewart via gm@volleyballireland.com
Volleyball Ireland are funding 1/3 of the costs, with each player making a financial contribution themselves.
