The general sponsor of the CEV School Project ‘Play Volleyball – Grow with it’ for Slovenia, Premium Toothbrush VBO, has decided to expand its cooperation with the Volleyball Federation of Slovenia (OZS) and further support the development of Slovenian Volleyball. Slovenian rising star Rok Možič has also joined the project as an ambassador.

In mid-October, the Volleyball Federation of Slovenia (OZS) and Premium Toothbrush VBO entered into a cooperation agreement specifically for the CEV School Project (click here). This programme has been implemented by OZS in cooperation with 46 Slovenian volleyball clubs since its inception in 2018. Within this project, which involves the participation of 150 elementary schools, OZS is responsible for the development and promotion of Volleyball among children and youngsters, while offering additional education to volleyball coaches, and organising mass-participation events.

The sponsor, Premium Toothbrush VBO, has now decided to further support Slovenian Volleyball through the CEV School Project by allocating 2 € for its development from each Premium Toothbrush VBO six-pack by ROK MOŽIČ sold in Slovenia.

“We at OZS have carefully developed the CEV School Project ‘Play Volleyball – Grow with it’ over the years and have tried to expand it as much as possible throughout the country. I think we have succeeded nicely in this, and the range of activities we have carried out so far is quite extensive. But we wanted to do more, and the general sponsorship agreement was a significant step forward. We are extremely pleased that VBO (Premium Toothbrush) has decided to further support the development of Slovenian Volleyball. I am confident that the response will be extremely positive, not only in Slovenia but also abroad,” said Gregor Humerca, the OZS Secretary General. 

Marko Kaloh from Ustn higiena VBO added: “Rok Možič and VBO have a lot in common. Both come from Maribor, and both have made it to the world’s top because of their excellence. Therefore, the connection with Rok was the most natural choice for us. At the same time, the VBO Premium toothbrush is an accessory important for health and for a perfect smile. All this symbolises our Rok and we are really proud of it. By creating a very special version of the VBO by Rok Možič Premium toothbrush, we also enabled a new way of supporting all fans. A part of the proceeds of the sale of these brushes will go to Rok as well as to the Volleyball Federation of Slovenia.”
 
Slovenian rising star Rok Možič has joined the CEV School Project as an ambassador:

“When OZS and VBO (Premium Toothbrush) invited me to participate, I gladly accepted the role. I am aware of how important it is to bring Volleyball even closer to children and young people. I will do my best to contribute as much as possible to the further development of Volleyball in our country, and I am already looking forward to the new challenges that the project brings.”


Slovenian volleyball clubs have responded positively to the cooperation between OZS, the general sponsor Premium Toothbrush VBO, and Rok Možič. VBO by Rok Možič toothbrushes labelled with sticker ‘We support Slovenian Volleyball’ will for now be available via the online store and at events organised by OZS.
