In a move that celebrates Women’s History Month, League One Volleyball (LOVB) has partnered with Dagne Dover, the first collaboration of its kind for the women’s lifestyle bag brand. This partnership aims to empower female athletes, from youth leagues to professional teams.
LOVB is the largest community in youth volleyball and the first professional league created from the grassroots level up. By teaming up with a women-led brand, LOVB is reinforcing its mission to enhance women’s roles in sports.
“We want to champion women, both on and off the court,” says Michelle McGoldrick, Chief Business Officer of LOVB. “Dagne Dover gets the busy lives of athletes. Whether at practice, tournaments, or traveling, they create products that combine function and style.”
This collaboration is more than a mere sponsorship; it represents a commitment to the volleyball community at every level. Dagne Dover has always focused on building strong connections, and LOVB’s community-first approach aligns perfectly with its values. The vibrant culture of volleyball, combined with its focus on female empowerment, mirrors Dagne Dover’s mission.
Melissa Mash, Co-founder of Dagne Dover, notes, “It feels meaningful to support a league built around women.” Their Co-founder, Deepa Gandhi, adds that LOVB’s focus on long-term athlete development resonates with their approach to nurturing talent and community.
As part of this partnership, Dagne Dover will become a visible presence at LOVB events, bringing their products to athletes and families alike. This integration will enhance the everyday experiences of these athletes through storytelling and useful products that emphasize performance and organization.
LOVB has gained significant traction since its inaugural season, drawing enthusiastic audiences across platforms like USA Network and ESPN. This year, their focus on community-driven engagement has helped them amass over 30 premier partners, setting a new standard in American professional sports.
This partnership coincides with broader trends focusing on female representation in sports. According to a recent survey by Women’s Sports Foundation, 86% of young girls are more likely to play sports when they see female role models. Investments in women-focused initiatives like this not only inspire young athletes but also foster a supportive environment where women can thrive.
As we witness a growing movement towards women’s empowerment in sports, partnerships like this one between LOVB and Dagne Dover are vital. They highlight the importance of supportive networks and innovative products that cater to the unique lives of female athletes.
