[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"It seems that smaller teams benefit everyone. Maybe there aren't enough strong players or skilled coaches in this region for that to happen?"

I think more the latter.  Especially with clubs that play at the higher end (and therefore a brand name/rep to protect), finding and retaining commensurate level coaches is going to be tough (if you keep their compensation at the same levels as I imagine they are today).  Couple that with high overhead for facilities in NoVA especially, and I think the availability of sufficient caliber coaches (and asst coaches to groom) becomes the limiting factor.[/quote]

What kind of salary would a coach at a competitive club make?[/quote]

I asked this question on a different thread (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1187914.page). Only one coach answered, but he was coaching a regional team, not a competitive team. [/quote]
The number cited in the linked thread was $3500. My sense is that is the lower end of the range with some head coaches at more competitive clubs making $5k or more. Even if it were $10k, it doesn’t work out to much compensation when you divide by the number of hours worked between practices, tournaments, and planning.  Coaching club volleyball is a side hustle for almost everyone who does it. If the person asking the question is wondering whether a club that was willing to pay its coaches a lot more might be able to attract better coaches, maybe, but the cost of club volleyball is so high at many clubs already, that doesn’t really seem feasible.
