Radici e momenti semplici 🌸 by @violalicegaia

What a time to be alive.Ten days that felt like an entire lifetime, soundtracked by the sound of hundreds of laughs.The keyword? Flexibility. The real one, the one that shows up when you let go of control and trust what happens when a group of wonderful humans ends up in the same place, at the same moment, with the same ball in their hands.I watched faces change. Eyes fill up without warning, like someone had flipped a hidden switch. Smiles as wide as the sky and dirty hands.I watched people play without brakes. Identities crumble gently, quietly, the way things crumble when they’re no longer needed. I heard deep reflections born in the middle of chaos, silent reconnections, oceans of hugs, and favourite moments nobody wanted to stop telling.Sweet little faces. Competitive athletes. Stolen naps. So much laughter. A few tears, the good kind, the ones that show up when you’re too full to keep them in.All those children. Teachers without knowing it. No classroom, no lesson plan. Just tiny hands joining a circle, showing us what trust actually looks like. A small gesture, almost ordinary that says everything: we are one group. Nobody gets left out here.So many hands. So many balls.A constant sense of family.New lessons to carry home. An endless sense of gratitude.@letskeeptheballflying 💛🙏🏼📷 @marleenvonder by @violalicegaia

Two years ago, a trip in the Philippines changed something in me. I didn’t have words for it then.A year later, Africa made it impossible to ignore. Something about being part of a community, the people I meet, living simple days, playing together, sweating, getting your hands dirty, being somewhere fully real.I keep coming back because nothing else feels quite like this.💛 by @violalicegaia

A metà strada tra libertà e pauraho capito che il controllonon è mai stato reale.Non possiamo nemmeno controllare il nostro cuore,se decidesse di smettere di battere domani… puf!Eppure vogliamo controllare tutto.Questo momento è stato davvero bellissimo.Andare al galoppo è una sensazione assurda,sei sulla schiena di un animale enorme che corree boh… o ti fidi o ti fidi (o cadi)E devo dire che è un po’ come la vita, ci vuole tanta santa fiducia per godersela davvero. 🌸 by @violalicegaia

For the past few months we’ve been on the road, traveling across the United States, West to East, North to South, with a simple idea: bringing our volleyball community together and make an impact together.Every stop, every conversation, every signature on our yellow ball is a reminder that this sport connects people everywhere. Volleyball has given many of us growth, friendships, transformation, and opportunities that shaped our lives, but all of this begins with one simple thing: The Chance to Play. That’s why Let’s Keep the Ball Flying exists. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who supported this journey and added their name to this ball. Each signature represents a shared belief: together we can open the game to many more people. Our community keeps growing. And this is just the beginning. See you on the courts, all over the world 🏐💛Full story in bio by @violalicegaia
