[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Club volleyball is a total grift. After you shell out the bucks, your child may never get any playtime. And then you have to sit there and not complain or even speak to the coach.  You have been warned. [/quote]

They tell you this willingly and openly before tryouts. It's your fault if you didn't think it would apply to your kid or if you didn't consider what your reaction would be. [/quote]

That may be so, but why do people think this is good deal? [/quote]

DP but I’ve never heard anyone say club volleyball is a good deal. You keep changing topics.  It’s like any other EC. Most of us are paying for it because our kid likes it, we can afford it and are willing to drive to it. A few are paying for it in hopes it will lead to college but it’s not that majority.

Change volleyball with any other sport, dance or expensive EC in this area and you will get the same reasoning.

It’s never because it’s a good deal.

It can be a very good deal if you end up playing for MVSA or Volley Viet. Unfortunately, they have limited availability. It can also end up being a good deal if your player is college material and you end up playing for higher end clubs like Metro. Volleyball is not a good "deal" for most of us - we are willing to pay knowing that we are being ripped off. However, this doesn't mean that we should simply accept it without complaining about it. It's like "We know that they rip us off. They know that we know that they rip us off. We know that they know that we know that they rip us off." [/quote]

You are responding to me and I don’t share your anger. This is optional.  Your kid doesn’t have to play. Do you have other kids that have been involved in other things here? I do and everything is expensive AND our choice.

It is supply and demand, as many others have pointed out. I don’t see why you think it’s a rip off. It is the same as paying hundreds or thousands for designer clothing and getting angry you are getting ripped off because it doesn’t cost much to make. You are paying for a name and a limited supply.  [/quote]
