Deep Dish Beach, renowned for their vibrant beach volleyball and beach sporting experiences, are excited to announce the continuation of their partnership with Let’s Keep the Ball Flying (LKTBF) for the 2025 Deep Dish Tour & Portugal Camp. This collaboration builds on a shared vision of using volleyball to create positive social change worldwide.
Each spring, Deep Dish brings together over 5,000 players and enthusiasts to the beaches of Praia Da Rocha on Deep Dish Tour & Deep Dish Portugal Beach Volleyball Camp to train, compete, and socialize in an unforgettable week in paradise. Let's Keep the Ball Flying has been the official charity partner of Deep Dish Tour & Portugal Camp for the past 2 years, with Deep Dish having raised thousands of pounds for the charity through fundraising activations.
Expanding Impact: Team Adoption in Tanzania
As part of their 2025 partnership, Deep Dish will adopt a volleyball team in Tanzania through LKTBF’s Adopt a Team initiative. This impactful program empowers local volleyball teams by providing essential resources and mentorship. Deep Dish will supply the Tanzanian team with high-quality, locally produced Deep Dish gear, ensuring sustainable support and growth opportunities for these athletes.
