[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you getting field, gym space and funding for this?  As others have said, there are current rec and travels programs already and then all of the private options.  Where we are, rec is low commitment and not competitive, travel (rec +)  is a step up and then all of the private/club options are everything else.  [b]Your program sounds expensive and doesn’t add anything[/b]. [/quote]

The rec option would be way less expensive than the current club options. If the parents can afford to pay for club, the rec would give them a financial break. I don't buy the idea that a private, for-profit club would be cheaper than a rec option. [/quote]

We currently have rec options and rec plus/select and travel options. These are all in addition to the for profit club.   How is this program different? [/quote]

It would get most athletes in local tournaments rather than regional / travel tournaments. Less time and money spent on useless travel by teams that are clearly not ready to travel. My entire volleyball club (at all age levels) should not travel outside the area. There is plenty of local competition to get our behinds kicked by local teams. Why travel to get our behinds kicked by teams from other regions? Unfortunately, rec is not available to fill the gap (rec level is way too low, even for my DD, who is at best less than an average player), so we are stuck in a mediocre club (my DD will likely not make any team in a better club).

You sound inexperienced. I happen to be another volleyball parent and it’s an overpriced sport in this area for many. Lots are willing to pay anything here for limited spots and that includes travel for low level play. Some like the travel. Next year, post for suggestions. We can help you find a lesser known team that doesn’t travel, if that’s what you are looking for.  They are out there. You don’t have to travel for volleyball.  [/quote]
