Yesterday the court of our sports hall in Florești witnessed a true festival of energy, friendship and passion for sport. On a Saturday full of intense emotions, smiles and determination, the Volleyball Forever family came together for the second edition of the Club’s Internal Tournament, a grand event that brought well over 200 children from all our groups to the net.
It was a marathon day where sporting competition blended harmoniously with fun. From the early morning to the award ceremonies, the hall echoed with encouragement from parents in the stands and the cheers of our young champions. All participants went home with unforgettable memories, as well as well-deserved diplomas and medals recognising their commitment.
Three age categories, two levels: the perfect formula for progress
So that every child could perform to their full potential and play balanced matches, our technical staff divided the competition into three age categories (U10, U13 and U17). What’s more, to ensure a fair and suitable competitive environment, each category was split into two levels: Gold (advanced) and Silver (for those starting out or still developing).

After hours of epic battles at the net, the podiums for each category were decided. Congratulations to all the teams that made the podium, and to those who fought until the last ball!

Beyond the medals, though, the big winner was the extended Volleyball Forever team. The youngest had the chance to watch their older teammates at work, while the performance team’s U15 and cadet players set a wonderful example of mentoring and fair play.
An event of this size, handling the logistics for more than 200 athletes, would not have been possible without the extraordinary support of the parents – our strongest player – and the total commitment of the club’s coaches.
Yesterday’s Saturday showed us once again that Volleyball Forever isn’t just a sports club, but a living, united community with a bright future. Thank you all – we can’t wait for the next edition! 🔵🟡🔴🇷🇴
