At the age of 14 Tate has been selected to represent Australia in the 2023 Asian Volleyball Confederation 1st Mens U16 Volleyball Championship in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Despite being chosen to represent Australia in the highest level of competition for Indoor Volleyball each athlete must fund their own journey.

Tate in the past 12 months has achieved so much. He has represented his school, Billanook College, both locally and nationally. He was selected in the U15 State Youth Indoor team for Victoria in 2022 and has this year's trials coming up. He played for Victoria in Coolangatta in March 2023 as a member of the AYBVC U16 Boys team and has also been selected in the School Sports Victoria State Team that will compete in Canberra in June 2023. He was invited to attend a National Development Program camp in Queensland in Dec 2022 and recently returned from the AIS where he was selected for the Australian Team.

The costs of elite sport are extensive. With a little over 2 months until he flies, we are asking for any donation you are able to make. We are hoping to cover costs such as flights, accomodation, training expenses, trips to the AIS and more.

Tate would be appreciative of any support big or small, you or your business can provide him on his athletic journey to Uzbekistan and beyond.

Together we can make his dream a reality and support his growth and development in Volleyball now and in the future. The 2032 Olympics are not that far away.
