[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]So, with my 10th grade/varsity VB kid considering new clubs for the upcoming season, I'm wondering what questions I should have that could only be answered by other parents.

For example,

Which parents are totally nuts? All vball parents are nuts, and if you’re not…club volleyball will make you nuts
What if I'm the parent that's totally nuts?  :) see above
How are families with younger, non-VB kids balancing things out? Young kids get in free to tournaments
Are there parents that volunteer to handle the video recording/streaming/sharing?  ... And are they any good? Yes and good enough
Any carpooling to practices? Yes, depends where you live obviously
Who manages the wine sign-up list for tournaments?  :p a full season of high level club will make you progress to hard spirits and in some cases windex
How serious are players and parents about getting recruited to college?  (On a scale from "If it happens, it happens" to "My kid will start at Nebraska on Day 1.") One of the reasons that vball parents are crazy is they all think their kid is good enough for Nebraska, and as the years go by, the dream starts to fade. Metro aside, every other ‘big club’ has a smattering of D1 players (very few of which actually play), a few D2 kids and quite a few D3 kids (surprisingly few of these kids ever play either). There are very few kids that actually get a scholarship at a top school (the occasional phenom and Metro aside)
How would you rate the club's resources for the college recruiting process? In most cases, zero.

Having only completed one club season, what questions should I be considering?[/quote][/quote]
