[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our team’s posted schedule seems very different from what’s actually happening, and I’m trying to figure out how best to address it.

The team website still lists AAU Nationals and suggests there would have been a parent decision involved. However, our team hasn’t qualified for USAV Nationals, and as far as the parents at practice last night could recall, there was never any discussion or vote about AAU Nationals.

In addition, we’ve now been told we’re no longer attending the South Atlantic Championships, another tournament still listed on our schedule, without a clear explanation, after we booked hotels. Instead, it sounds like the club may add a one-day local tournament, but that doesn’t really make up for it. The posted schedule says 3–5 local tournaments, and we’ve only played 3.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Would you raise this with the director, or just move on? We are new to club volleyball this year, so are not sure if this is normal or not. [/quote]
It’s pretty normal for the schedule to vary from the plan that is provided after tryouts. Clubs have to register for tournaments months in advance and don’t find out if teams are accepted until months later. Can’t tell if South Atlantic Championships had enough teams register that they had to turn some away, but that could be why it dropped off the schedule.

On AAU nationals, some clubs make it very clear that if a team doesn’t get a USAV bid, they will go to AAU. Other clubs say they will poll the parents or take a vote. Still others will make AAU nationals optional so some of the team will go and some won’t. Did your club say anything about AAU at the beginning of the season?[/quote]
