Today the sports hall doesn’t just smell of effort and determination, but of spring too. On 1 March (Mărțișor, Romania’s spring festival), we pause practice for a moment to celebrate our club’s most beautiful “mărțișoare”: our little flowers on court and their extraordinary mums.
Our little champions – the flowers of spring
On the volleyball court, our girls are like snowdrops: they seem fragile, but they have an incredible strength to break through the “snow” of challenges. Every successful serve, every fall they get up from smiling even more and every point won as a team is a petal opening towards performance. They are our pure joy and the reason we want to be better every day.
Mums – the support behind every success
If the girls are the flowers, the mums are the roots. We know that behind every little girl who arrives at practice on time, with her kit ready and her hair braided, stands a dedicated mum. You are the ones who:
-
Cheer them on from the sideline when emotions run high.
-
Wipe away their tears after a lost match and teach them that failure is just a step towards victory.
-
Make sacrifices so their passion has somewhere to blossom.
Today our symbolic mărțișor flies to you, the girls and mums of our community, as a thank-you for the trust you place in us as we raise these fine characters together.
“Volleyball teaches us technique, but spring teaches us hope. May we have a season full of sunshine in our hearts, progress on court and smiles that last all year!”
