At BeachBum Sportz, we believe in the power of sustainability, creativity, and community. Our journey began with a simple idea: to upcycle retired volleyballs and soccer balls into unique, stylish products that people can wear with pride. Over time, this idea evolved into a full-fledged eco-friendly apparel line, centered around our commitment to “keeping the ball in play”—both literally and figuratively.

In this blog, we’ll take you through the story of how our eco-friendly apparel line came to be and why it’s about much more than just fashion. It’s about giving back to the sports we love, reducing waste, and making a positive impact on the planet. Shop now and see our incredible line for yourself.

From Retired Volleyballs to One-of-a-Kind Apparel

The inspiration for BeachBum Sportz was born on the sands of Southern California, where our family spent countless weekends watching competitive beach volleyball. Surrounded by the energy of the sport, we saw an opportunity to do something different. Rather than letting old volleyballs go to waste, we decided to give them new life by upcycling them into stylish, one-of-a-kind apparel.

Our apparel line started with upcycled hats, crafted from volleyballs that had seen plenty of action. Each piece tells its own story, with the texture, scuffs, and markings of the original ball visible in the final product. This process of upcycling not only preserves the history of the game but also reduces waste, making it a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Expanding the Vision: From Volleyballs to Soccer Balls

As our eco-friendly apparel line grew, we realized that volleyball wasn’t the only sport where we could make an impact. Soccer, another sport that holds a special place in the hearts of many, also offered a unique opportunity for upcycling. Soon, we expanded our product line to include hats and accessories made from retired soccer balls.

Just like our volleyball-inspired products, each soccer ball item is crafted with care and creativity. These pieces allow soccer fans to wear a piece of the game while supporting our mission of sustainability. Whether it’s a hat made from a volleyball or a soccer ball, each item in our eco-friendly line is designed to be a functional, fashionable reminder of the sport’s lasting impact.

The Meaning Behind “Keep the Ball in Play”

Our tagline, “Keep the Ball in Play,” embodies our mission to give back to the environment while celebrating the sports we love. It’s a reminder that materials don’t have to be discarded after their initial use. With a little creativity, they can be transformed into something new and exciting—something that continues to bring joy and purpose.

For us, keeping the ball in play is also about giving back to the volleyball and soccer communities that have given us so much. We’ve had the privilege of working with Olympians, AVP pros, and top collegiate players, and our connection to these sports fuels our passion for creating sustainable products. Every item we create is a reflection of our love for the game and our commitment to making a difference.
