[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: Legacy volleyball. My DD checked out the clinics. Our take is this new club is by former St James coaches/parents. We saw 3 parent groups/moms running admin for the clinics and they appear to be looking to springboard their own daughters. It was obvious at the clinics who their daughters were bc two were very strong players and standouts (one was not). The clinics were intense with a lot of more physically challenging drills. The level of talent we saw was all over the map. There were the coaches’ girls - strong hitters with one definitely open level player. Then there were girls who couldn’t serve over the net.

My DD thought the training was good. Coaches seemed good. But like anything else, a new club is a risk. My DD almost accepted a spot on a Renaissance Chesapeake team last year after a hard sell from the coaches/director and [b]a lot of promises made[/b], and boy *is she glad she didn’t take the spot* and went for a tried and true proven club. We saw the Renaissance teams at tournaments last year and I don’t think they won a single game. Maybe a single set. My DD knows girls who quit volleyball after last season and taking a risk on a new club. [/quote]
A new club setting too high expectations is a recipe for failure. Having experienced coaches helps, but success also requires attracting the right players and I think that is where Renaissance and to a certain extent, EC Power Chesapeake, fell short of expectations which led to disappointment.
