[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s really really hard to get action from USAV, SafeSport or the region unless it’s egregious. You’re better to walk away and cut your losses unless it is truly egregious or illegal, or bide your time through the remainder of the season.

Unless said club has a reputation for what is happening, directors and coaches talk. Even the ones who didn’t really like each other. [/quote]

How do you hold folks accountable for what they are doing if CHRVA and USAV won’t do anything?

How do you develop a reputation for doing something if no one reports it?

And why would club directors go out of their way to trash talk folks? Aren’t they busy enough?? It seems like a self perpetuating cycle of dysfunction. And then as parents we get mad for having to pay for it or going into situations without knowing.[/quote]

There is quite a bit of chatter about various clubs on this threads. Based on my experience, there is even more chatter in tournaments and during clinics / leagues. If you are just a bit social, you can connect with other parents who are very willing to share their experience, be it positive or negative. Once you are around the block for one year or two, you know a lot about the clubs where you sign up for clinics / leagues / camps. You realize how small the volleyball world is because you will see the same players / parents pretty much everywhere. Some parents are simply dropping off, then picking up and avoid contact (probably busy schedules or multiple kids to take care of). But there are enough parents who hang around and you can chat with.

I feel like parents who are new to club volleyball have it the hardest. I was one of them and I was not aware of these threads, so it was very difficult to find reliable information. Don't get me wrong, the information here is not always reliable, but at least you learn what red flags to look for. Every single club website tries to paint a rosy picture of themselves and you don't know which one boasts for a good versus no reason. I feel like the transition to club volleyball (plus the first year of club) is the most difficult. It took me longer than that to become wiser. I feel like I was still relatively clueless in the second year of club volleyball as well, even though I had one year under my belt. I may be still clueless right now and not know it, I will let you know next year. [/quote]
