[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts look more and more like a disinformation campaign and slender that started during the tryout period to confuse players / parents. It feels like every team got someone upset at some point in the past. Some of those people keep coming on dcum and bash the club. [/quote]
Where is the disinformation?  Someone noticed VAJRs wasn’t signed up for Regionals (which is easy to verify) and speculated they weren’t having an 18s team this year. A few folks questioned whether that was correct while also sharing information that they had about VAJRs players moving to Paramount. Now that Paramount and VAJRs rosters have been made public, it’s turned out to be accurate that a lot of VAJRs players (6) went to Paramount.

While there has been a few disparaging comments (welcome to the interwebs) most of the information shared turned out to be true. [/quote]

well someone did call the teams other than the 16s atrocious as well as called out the "downfall of the club" so yeah... that's pretty much slandering.  You note paramount gained 6 players but you fail to mention that half of the 16's team from paramount QUIT mid year?

Every club has its pros and cons.  So how about you not call[b] the players[/b] "atrocious" - grow up and think about how you'd feel if someone called your kid that.  [/quote]
How about you grow up. I wrote the post you quoted but didn’t write any posts disparaging VAJRs or any other club. There are lots of people offering their opinions on these forums so don’t assume you know who wrote what.

The [b]fact[/b] is that VAJRs only have 3 players on their 18s that played on their 17s. I don’t know whether players chose to look for a better club or tried out and didn’t get offers and it really doesn’t matter.

Same for Paramount. The [b]fact[/b] is that their 18s team is made up of mostly girls who are new to the club. Don’t know the reasons why that turned out to be the case either.

I’ve been around volleyball for a long time and know that it’s more difficult to start with a mostly new roster than to have a core group players to build your team around. But that doesn’t mean I have any ill will towards either of these teams. On the contrary - I hope they are both wildly successful. It’s fine to root for your kid’s team to do well, but rooting against other teams to do poorly is childish. At the end of the day these are still kids and youth sports.

If you have such strong feelings about sports, maybe save your hate for the grown adults being paid lots of money to play in the professional league of whatever sport you fancy. [/quote]
