I love an old-school coach like him. Calling a 15y/o volunteer linesman a “f$&@ing blind bi$&h” in 2024 while coaching for DJO at SJC.

A modern coach would suspend himself and a modern school would suspend him for the season. But not this guy and not this school!

Him cursing a 15y/o volunteer linesman for a wrong call shows that he would verbally abuse other kids who inevitably will make some mistakes. That's a wonderful environment to place your kids into. Where do I sign up?

I guess the participants in this forum don't care about this behavior, or I guess they somehow find it acceptable.

People have called the behavior appalling and sarcastically expressed their disgust for his behavior. Of course cussing out a line judge is completely unacceptable and if true, he should be sanctioned or disciplined by DJO or the appropriate authority (maybe the WCAC?). What more are you looking for from anonymous internet strangers?

Your answer should be, well let's do some research and and get answers(FROM THE SOURCE) to see if the purpose and direction of the club fits your player. Little do ppl understand, a lot a clubs will reel you in with what you think is "low" dues, but little do ppl know that the low dues don't always cover tournament costs and other fees that are paid throughout the season that parents will be paying that will eventually add up to the same amount as the "more expensive" clubs in which they are more than likely more expensive cause more is included. So bottom line, make sure you've done your research on any club before assuming or attempting to persuade others.

Clubs can and should be able to charge whatever they want. A first year club charging as much as Legacy is charging is intriguing.

Martin Shkreli would definitely agree with you.

You know you've lost the debate when you resort to insulting the person who disagrees with you.

See? The idea of a free market outraged you to the point where you felt insulted by having the same belief system as Martin Shkreli. Isn't it easier to claim victory by pretending to be insulted rather than defending Shkreli-type arguments?

LOL. Is this the part where I call you a socialist?

Comparing a small business owner who runs a youth volleyball club and sets their pricing consistent with the rest of the market to someone who went to prison for financial crimes and jacked up the price of a life saving prescription drug by orders of magnitude for profit hardly seems analogous, but you do you.

Agreed. While it's not uncommon around here to see posts that were probably written by a club director or at least an involved parent, the Legacy posts seem oddly coordinated with the intent of creating the illusion that multiple people are advocating on their behalf.

You people are crazy. I’m the typical parent poster and posted one follow up saying all of the clubs my daughter is trying out for are around that amount. I’m a mom fairly new to all of this and you think I’m secretly the director?

You are the type of parent Legacy is looking for: new to all of this and ready to pay. Don't worry about everyone warning that a new club is unlikely to prepare a team for qualifiers, you likely know better. We are probably all wrong anyway.

If you read my original “typical parent” post, I said my daughter can’t even tryout. Their tryouts conflict with others she’s already registered for. Why the intense hate for this particular club that hasn’t even started yet? This has gotten it more interest than anything.

All I said was this area needs more clubs because there are more girls that want to play than teams and the moment and they are all expensive. As far as I’m concerned, any new club that forms is a good thing.
