The water polo club 'carrying the ball' for young players in New York City

22/3/2022

 
A New York water polo club has survived the impacts of Covid-19 and continues to “hustle” in and out of the water to win games and win over new fans of the sport.

Brooklyn Water Polo Club is one of three remaining clubs in the city of nine million following the pandemic. Founded by Carl Quigley in 1979, the club known to many as the ‘Brooklyn Hustle’ has continued to thrive with the help of a determined group of parent volunteers.

The club recently ordered two Junior Water Polo Packagoals to support and grow their youth programs made up of around 85 boys and girls – ages eight to 18. 

Michael Randazzo, Brooklyn Hustle club administrator, says the size and portability of the Packagoals were key factors in their decision.

Chris Lee, Phil Gainer Community Center’s facility manager, said the Packalines have largely been utilized for volleyball at this stage.

Portable court brings bocce culture to Italian language class at US school

23/8/2021

 
An impassioned video pitch from a group of students studying Italian at a school in the USA has led to the donation a Mini Packabocce court to support hands-on language and culture lessons.

The high-quality inflatable bocce ball court was provided to Hazlet Middle School in Monmouth County, New Jersey, after Italian teacher Antonia Gazzillo and her students made a personal plea to Packaworld CEO Peter Roberts, asking for a court to use in their classes.

Ms Gazzillo said she was keen to harness bocce ball to bring a touch of Italian culture into students’ lessons, keeping them engaged and in a fun and social way.

“I’ve always wanted to play bocce with my students,” she said. “The past year has been a real challenge because of Covid-19 and I wanted to be able to offer this experience to my students as there were class trips we could not go on.

29/7/2021

 
Packaline is rolling out worldwide and leaving its mark in the US, with Crooked Creek Park in South Carolina using the temporary line markings for indoor sports. 

The versatility of Packaline has seen sports organisers and coordinators around the world using the innovative lines to accommodate a variety of sports and activities.

Eric Funderburk, Facility Manager at Crooked Creek Park, said the Packalines were simple to use and easy to store and transport.

“We have painted lines on our gym floor for pickleball and basketball but not volleyball. The main benefit we saw in the Packaline product was the ability to set up temporary volleyball court dimensions for two-hour sessions without the permanency – and clutter – of additional painted lines or the surface damage adhesive lines cause.”
