At the end of an extraordinary competitive season, the official statistics speak of points, sets and tactical performances of European standard. Having the U15 team in the national Top 8 and, at the same time, earning spectacular qualifications to the Semi-final Tournaments with the U13 and U17 teams is a calling card that places our club among the elite of youth volleyball in Romania. But there is another chronicle of this championship, one that isn’t written on the court but in our hearts – the parents’ hearts.
For us, Volleyball Forever isn’t just a sports club where we drop our children off a few times a week; it has become a second home, a state of mind and a profound journey of transformation. Being a sports parent at VF means living every phase at full intensity – from the little ones’ enthusiastic first steps at U13 to the mature battles at U15 and U17. We learn to manage our emotions in the stands and see, day after day, how our little girls turn before our eyes into strong, disciplined and tenacious young women.
From our perspective – those of us who travel all over the country with drums and vuvuzelas in the boot to support these three wonderful generations – here is how this beautiful story looks:
As parents, we really appreciate what Volleyball Forever does – it isn’t just about the sport itself, but about development and education. Coach Branko Gajic, or Bane as the girls know him, plays an essential role in this whole process: he imposes rigour, provides discipline and at the same time educates through sport. These are values that will help the girls all their lives. Our daughter always comes home excited and tells us what new things they have learned. We also enjoy the experiences on offer, such as taking part in tournaments, including in Italy at the Cornacchia. For us, Volleyball Forever means not only excellence, but consistency, character and the joy of being part of a team. Thank you for everything!
What we love most is how volleyball has changed our daughter’s life. She has become much more responsible, empathetic, mentally stronger, more attentive to the needs of those around her and consistent, and for all this I can only thank everyone on the staff who make sure the girls have everything they need for practices to run in the best conditions with the best professionals!! That’s her gain – and we as parents have gained a family, made lots of friends, and experienced emotions we never thought we’d feel, and happiness that brought us to tears!! 💜
The club runs practices in several locations, for every level – beginner, amateur or performance – with a high standard of training. Here a child can reach excellence, becoming the best version of themselves. It is the club where our children have elite, dedicated, passionate coaches who promote essential values such as respect, discipline, responsibility, team spirit, courage and high motivation, whatever the obstacles. Taking part in official competitions, both national and international, adds value and brings out maximum potential, pushing beyond limits and refining technical and strategic skills. We also like the active involvement of parents, who are always with the team and support it unconditionally.
Why did we choose Volleyball Forever? Because the focus isn’t only on performance, but on discipline, team spirit and psychosocial development. For me the club is more than a club – an extraordinary community of children and parents, with the focus of course on the children, and practices designed to develop coordination and teamwork. I love Volleyball Forever for the wonderful energy it always gives off, at every match, tournament or event, and for the involvement of the management, coaches, parents and athletes, which has put this club on a rising trend as it grows beautifully every day. We put other activities aside for the sake of this club and everyone involved! Come on, Forever!💜🏐
We parents believe VF is a club that wants and supports children’s performance, whatever their level. It promotes sport as a way of life. And we grow and rejoice alongside and together with our children.
As a parent, I appreciate that Volleyball Forever offers a healthy and motivating environment for children. I consider discipline, team spirit and the experiences they gain by taking part in competitions very important.
What we love about Volleyball Forever is that here children don’t just learn volleyball – they learn to believe in themselves and push past their limits. It’s a place where performance goes hand in hand with heart, where every success is built with patience, work and encouragement. As parents we feel our daughter is seen not just as an athlete, but as a person – with her emotions, fears and dreams. And that makes the difference. At this club she has grown stronger, more disciplined, more confident and closer to those around her.
For us, Volleyball Forever means family, joy, character and people who leave a beautiful mark on children’s hearts. We are grateful for the people who put their heart into what they do, and for the support, patience and values they give the children every day. Shaping characters isn’t easy, but here you can see that everything is done with passion and dedication. For us, Volleyball Forever is a place that truly contributes to shaping the person our daughter will become. It is an important part of her journey, one that will keep its value and meaning far beyond the volleyball court. Thank you, Volleyball Forever!!!

For me, Volleyball Forever isn’t just a club. It’s the place where I see my daughter growing up beautifully – with courage, friendships, confidence and purpose. I see her come home brighter, stronger and surer of herself.
I am grateful for the people who guide her, for the good energy in the hall and for the way every child is seen, listened to and encouraged. I appreciate the community, the healthy atmosphere and everything you build around them, day after day.
Looking back on this season, we realise that the club’s biggest win isn’t just the diplomas from the U15 Final Tournament or the priceless experience gained in the U13 and U17 semi-finals. The real triumph is the huge, united community born here, in every age group. At Volleyball Forever we have discovered that we are not alone in the effort to raise our children well; we have an elite staff led by Bane, we have Andreea’s vision and heart and, above all, we have each other, like a big extended family.
We head into the new season with our heads held high and unshakeable confidence in the future. We know that tenacity is built over time, and this year’s hard lessons and tough matches are only the foundation on which all the teams will build tomorrow’s successes. As parents, our promise remains unchanged: we will be there, on the barricades, behind every serve and every block, at every tournament. Next season will find us stronger, more united and ready to support our children towards new horizons.
