SUPPORT MINICDC: HELP US TO GROW FREE MINI-VOLLEYBALL IN BOLOGNA!

Every dream needs a place to start. For many children, that place is MiniCDC: a place to play, have fun, grow and make new friends, without financial difficulties standing in their way.

Help us sustain what we’ve built and offer this opportunity to more and more children!

ABOUT US

CDC Volley Bologna 2.0 ASD was founded in Bologna in 2016 and has grown within the San Donato-San Vitale neighbourhood, with which it still maintains strong ties today. We are a sports organisation with 280 athletes and 15 teams, committed to promoting volleyball for people of all ages, from those taking their first steps in the sport right through to competitive and amateur levels. Over time, we have built a strong relationship with the local community, families and schools, because we believe that sport can offer children and young people much more than just training. Volleyball is about play, fun and personal development: an opportunity to work together, follow the rules, make new friends and feel part of a team. These are the values that guide our sporting and social commitment, including through the “Sotto la Stessa Rete” project, which promotes educational and sporting activities in the local area.

THE MINICDC PROJECT

MiniCDC is our free mini-volleyball course, launched as part of the “Sotto la Stessa Rete” project and aimed at boys and girls born in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The aim is to offer young children the chance to discover volleyball in a relaxed and welcoming environment, where play, fun and the joy of being together are at the heart of every activity.

They are guided by qualified instructors, ready to support every child on a journey of discovery, movement and growth.

Offering the programme free of charge is a deliberate choice: we want to ensure that the cost of a sports course does not act as an initial barrier for families.

There is no annual fee to take part: only a nominal contribution of 20 euros is required for sports membership and insurance cover.

WE’RE ALREADY UNDERWAY: 18 CHILDREN ON THE PITCH!

The course began in September 2026 in the San Donato-San Vitale district of Bologna and has already reached its first major milestone: 18 boys and girls have signed up and the first group is now fully formed! This result makes us happy and confirms just how important it is to continue investing in initiatives that introduce young children to sport. But we don’t want to stop there. Our aim is to ensure this programme continues and to give other children the same opportunity.

MORE THAN JUST A MINI-VOLLEYBALL COURSE

Through the MiniCDC, we aim to strengthen the bond between sport, schools, families and the neighbourhood. The sports hall can become a place for meeting and socialising, where children learn to get to know one another, work together and grow together. On the court, they don’t just learn to play with the ball, but also to respect the rules, trust others, tackle small challenges and discover the value of teamwork. The MiniCDC is a tangible expression of our ‘Sotto la Stessa Rete’ project, which is closely linked to the San Donato-San Vitale neighbourhood and our commitment to creating new educational and sporting opportunities for the community.

WHY WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR HELP

‘Free for families’ does not mean ‘cost-free’.

Running a high-quality sports programme requires commitment, organisation, resources and people who dedicate their time and energy to the children every day. CDC Volley Bologna 2.0 ASD has already chosen to invest in this initiative, making it possible to launch the first free course. Now we want to involve the community too, to support what we are achieving and enable the project to grow. That is why we have launched a fundraising campaign with a target of 4,000 euros.

Every contribution, large or small, provides practical support to ensure the continuity of the course that has already begun.

IF WE REACH €4,000, WE’LL LAUNCH A SECOND FREE COURSE!

This is our commitment. If we reach our fundraising target, CDC Volley Bologna 2.0 ASD pledges to launch a second free mini-volleyball course, offering more boys and girls the chance to discover volleyball without having to pay an annual membership fee. The first group is already full, but we want this experience to involve more and more families.

With your support, we can turn a project that’s already underway into an even greater opportunity for our local community.

JOIN US ON THE COURT! 💙

We’re not simply asking you to support a sports club. We’re asking you to help us create new opportunities for the children in our community. Every donation helps to foster an environment where young children can play, have fun, make friends and grow together.

Because sometimes all it takes is a ball, a goal and someone who believes in the value of sport to start something special.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who chooses to support this initiative.
