Financially speaking, your best bet is to continue playing for VolleyViet. It is not a top club, but it is very decent and a unicorn in the VA club scene. Based on how the discussion went so far, I feel like your major issue is coaching. I don't know much about their coaches, but they seemed ok from the sidelines when we played against VV. Looking for the perfect coach can be very elusive because the way I perceive perfect coaching may be very different from how you imagine it, and probably different from how your DD imagines it. In a previous post, you said that your DD has already improved a lot, which may be a sign of good coaching, despite of what you (or your DD) may consider otherwise. People may tell you that coaching at another club is better, but nobody can guarantee that you will get what you (or your DD) imagines as "better coaching". My DD had good coaches so far, but they were never perfect (and I doubt that you will ever find a coach that you would consider perfect).

Try to define what went wrong and what you thing will change by moving to a different club. You may think about leaving the club for what you (or your DD) perceive as poor coaching and nobody can blame you (you will make another U14 very happy for the spot that opens up in VV). If your DD is one of the top VV players and feels like the rest of the team holds back her development, you should definitely do it. This would be a good time to move to a more competitive club if your DD wants to play in college (and you feel like she has the chance). Was there a language barrier? Does the team dynamics play any role in the decision? Moving to another club can be a coin toss: the team dynamics may be better or worse. If you decide to move, get ready to pay at least 4-5x the club fees compared to how much you paid at VV. If I were in your shoes, I would try to stay with VV (my DD is at that general level and she won't play in college). Good luck with your decision![/quote]
