[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Appreciate all the replies - we’re going to look for a smaller club next year.  Last week three girls were benched the entire tournament (my daughter got her usual 1/2 out of 3 games).  The past two tournaments have had at least one girl crying.[/quote]

I think you should combine the 3 best bits of advice I saw here so far:

1. Find a smaller club and approach the coach, explain that it's really not a good fit for your child where they are and how even in scrimmages they're benched the whole time, and ask what they think you can do.  Maybe ask a couple of smaller clubs and see what they say.  They may know how to get around the "No new clubs once season starts" rule.

2. If you find a new club, dispute the charges at your current one and explain why you find to not at all be what you thought you were paying for.  See if you can either get them to commit to more development of your daughter & more playtime OR see if you can get that refund and go to a club if you've found a new one.

Sounds like a tough situation but there are many nice coaches out there. I met a few last club season and I really respected that NONE of them would speak badly of any other clubs, and when I ran dynamics by them that bothered me, the most they'd say is "Yeah, we do things differently...." and tell me how they handle it.  We weren't so unhappy we wanted to leave last season, but we got great tips on where to try for this coming season.  Now if I could only find my damn notes on it!  :mrgreen:  I'm totally serious, I'm starting to see tryout schedules posted and I cannot find my damn notes... #BestVolleyballMomEver  :lol: [/quote]
