[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many posts because HS volleyball brings the most drama of any sport my kids have played. I attribute this to: --more club players than spots on the HS team, then spots sometimes go to non-club players (like my DD) and the word "unfair" gets used a lot. Families rearrange summer vacations for tryouts in early August, so if someone doesn't make the team, they killed the month for nothing, --it is truly a team sport, they rely on each position doing well, so emotions run high, especially against teammates screwing up. --of all the sports my kids have played, there have been more mentally unhinged coaches than we have encountered elsewhere.[/quote] You could say the same about basketball, but I think basketball parents are more realistic about where their kids stand. 8th graders who play on pay for play AAU teams know they are on pay for play teams. That same awareness seems to be lacking with volleyball parents [/quote]
