[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Paramount is a strong club in CHRVA but I heard some dramas happened last season across multiple age groups. Does anyone know what really happened with Paramount’s teams last season? This is what I’ve heard- 13-1: coach got fired 16-1: coach quit mid-season 17-1: multiple players quit mid-season Did this really happen? I know every club has dramas but this seems a bit too much. Is VA Juniors a better alternative? In regards to Paramount 17-1- Five players quit mid-season, and a bunch quit after the season was over. These departures left only 2 or 3 returning players (out of 15) for their 18u year. A few went to VA Juniors, 2 to Metro Travel and 2 to VAE. If people don’t think that is a lot of players leaving, they are crazy. For those who say that only the bench players leave, that is also totally false. The entire starting line-up from the 17-1 quit this team. This particular team has experienced a ton of attrition since their 13u season (I know from experience), but that is not unique to that one team. [/quote] Stop using random threads to wine about various clubs. There used to be a poster with broken English who would complain on all the volleyball threads about the Metro coaching and how the Metro players never reach their full potential. This seems to be a similar poster, but focused on Paramount. This is a thread where you should advertise volleyball activities available in the area, not to bash Paramount or any other club. Just go away or start your own Paramount-bashing thread.[/quote] PP asked specifically and the poster provided indisputable data points. You seem to be the same poster that is very triggered when someone says anything about paramount and readily bash the person with broken English. What's your problem? Seriously. The coaching and vibe at Paramount isn't for everyone- this isn't a personal front against you so be ok with the decisions you and your DD make instead of attacking everyone. --back to the question that was initially asked before triggered Paramount parent lost it yet again-- PP re: paramount- yes, all those data points are true. My dd was on one of those teams listed and she struggled due to the toxic environment there and how the girls are pitted against each other unless you are a favorite. She almost left volleyball for good which were dark days b/c she absolutely loves the sport. Paramount works for some, not for others just go in eyes wide open. DD has friends at VAJRs (and other clubes) and while I can't speak from personal experience, I'll say that DD's friends like the vibe, like the overall club. It's less "intense" and that's ok with them. VAElite is also a good option but traveling with the team, not with parents works for some people, not for others. [/quote] The 9:59 post was a random, off-topic post, which is absolutely useless for this thread. I am not involved in any way with Paramount: I live in MD and we only see Paramount on the other side of the net. I am sorry your DD didn't have a good year with Paramount, but this is not a reason to turn every volleyball thread into a place to bash Paramount. This may be one of the most pressing problems you have right now, but it is not everybody's problem. You can start a thread called "The truth about Paramount" and go for it. And I have the same problem with those who hate on Metro or other clubs that they don't like. [/quote]
