Let's Do More
Over the last 12 years the Capitol Hill Volleyball Classic has hosted more than 7,686 teams and 88,855 young women to compete in what is the largest girls volleyball tournament in the country over President’s Day weekend.
This year we asked ourselves, “What more can we do to contribute to the long-term success of our athletes on and off the court?”
There are pressures, challenges and hurdles that young female athletes face. Navigating it all requires mental strength, confidence and support from people around you. This year we are on a mission to raise awareness of how important mental wellness is to young female athletes.
Mental Wellness means ?
Mental Health means

YOU
Our Partner
This year we partnered with Pivotal Moments, a 501(C)3 public charity whose mission is to develop tools, provide access to resources and create unique experiences that help children and young adults deal with adversity in health, wellness and education. With their help, we are introducing a fundraising campaign as part of the tournament to draw light on female athlete mental wellness.
Your Support
Each team will be able to raise funds that will go to the creation of a mental wellness digital learning platform to be implemented in schools across the country for free. It is being developed in collaboration with EVERFI, a leading education technology company.
To make it easy and fun each team gets their own donation page. There will be prizes, and the top teams will get special recognition at the tournament.
