Carlos Iván Márquez : THE VOLLEYBALL PROJECT

the volleyball project

Beneath the echo of screams and the squeak of shoes against polished floors,
I found a language that needed no translation.
A game of six voices, moving as one.
A net that does not divide, but challenges.
A court that becomes a classroom—
where courage, trust, and resilience are learned one serve at a time.

This project is my love letter to the youth,
to the spark in their eyes when the first rally begins,
to the laughter after a missed shot,
to the fire that grows when they rise again and again.

Volleyball is more than sport—
it is rhythm, it is teamwork, it is belonging.
And here, I want to share that rhythm with them,
so they may discover not just how to play,
but how to believe in themselves,
together, as one team.
