Volleyball England Roll out Period Supportive Events
Volleyball England has successfully made it's Five Nations Championships earlier this month it's first period supportive event since joining the initiative.
FabLittleBags coaches bags were available to all players participating in the event, held at the National Volleyball Centre in Kettering.
Coaches bags are now available at all events in the upcoming season, including the U18 Super Series, Student Cup Finals, Last 8 matches, Final 4, Play-offs and Cup Finals weekends.
England Senior Women’s Head Coach, Maria Bertelli, is pleased to see the onset of the period supportive campaign and said: “It’s brilliant that Volleyball England has this partnership with FabLittleBag, and if it can help just a handful of people then it will make a difference.”
“As a player and now as a coach you see it very often that players miss a session or game altogether, or it can impact on a session or game. I’m very aware as a coach that it can impact players quite significantly in terms of their performance and their mental state.
Martha Silcott CEO FabLittleBag adds " We are thrilled that the Period Supportive initiative has been so well received at the recent 5 Nations event. Volleyball England are leading the way as a Period Supportive organisation that empowers women and girls to manage their periods confidently and ensures that menstruation is never a barrier to participation in volleyball."
