Lakeside Boys Volleyball Booster Club hasn't added a story.
Hello everyone!
My name is Devin Landers and I have been fortunate enough to start a boy's volleyball program at Lakeside High School in Atlanta, Ga where I also teach PE and Health. I have been playing volleyball competitively for about 12 years in college and tournaments throughout the east coast and have been coaching for 7 with boys and girls of all ages.
I am looking to raise money so that we are able to set these guys up with the best opportunity to have a successful start of something new and great!
How many of you have played volleyball with your friends and not knowing anything about but had a fantastic time? Many kids at Lakeside don't fit into the mold of a basketball, football or soccer player etc, but want to use their athletic ability in a sport that can enjoy playing. I have had interest from all grades 9-12 with boys from all different sizes, shapes, ethnicity and backgrounds who would love the chance to play volleyball competitively.
Unfortunately, the GHSA (Georgia High School Association) does not recognize boys volleyball as an "official sport" yet therefore we have to run the league as a "school club". Because of this, we do not receive any funding from Dekalb County for expense. These expenses include uniforms, transportation, coaches, referees, gym space and tournament fees. Our season runs from February 11th- May 11th.
Here's why boys volleyball is growing trend in the US:
Not a girl’s sport!
1998- 35,000 participants -> 2017: 61,000 = 75% Growth!
Second fastest growing sport in the country since 2012
12% increase in boy’s high school volleyball participation annually
Currently 21 boy’s high school volleyball teams in Georgia
Scholarship opportunities- NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA, 2 year colleges
Lifetime sport- beach, backyard, or gym
Lakeside is a very diverse Title I school where over 40% of the student population is considered "low income". This means that some students cannot afford dues, snacks, Gatorade, or equipment. Your donations will help build up these young men.
I plan on using my knowledge , experience and relationships with the guys to give them the best volleyball experience they could imagine! A new era starts now with your help!! Please consider making a donation to our volleyball team today.
