Bearden will win because Farraguts coach is so bad.

The Bearden Setter's dad started KVA. The Libero is graduating and heading off to the Univ of louisville to continue her playing career. Club volleyball is expensive and each player gets to make a choice. I'm thrilled there's a new club in town so K2 isn't the only open level club in ktown. K2 parents have endured unorganized owners, phone calls going un-returned, mis-information, jacked up prices because of unorganized owners who can't handle money appropriately, and promises made at the beginning of a year that are broken by the end of the first month. K2 players have endured a nasty gym, a hot and cold gym, bad coaches (some are very talented but get stifled in the wake of the owner), nasty verbal abuse (the reason the parents are no longer allowed in the gym), kids of all ages getting thrown out of the gym for made up reasons in the middle of practice with no ride home, and losing seasons in a lot of cases. The 17 team played club level this past year and the 16s and 18s Elite teams finished in the last pool in most of their tournaments. K2 has had some success but mostly in the younger age groups where physical attributes are more equal across the country. There are some gifted volleyball athletes in Knoxville because of God given talent not because of k2.

What's the deal with the new volleyball club in town? Lots of talk about unhappy parents at K2?

Congrats to Farragut High School on their win at this tourney. Wins over Sullivan South and Science Hill were the highlight. In spite of Farragut's coach these girls were able to put together a solid win. CAK and Catholic also had solid play over the weekend.

Farragut coach being clueless is an understatement. She doesn't know volleyball. She's a decent statistician as her setters had more assists than points scored in the CAK game.

Early Bird - the Soddy coach is solid. No coach in Knoxville compares. If Knoxville had better volleyball coaches they could bring home some state championships. CAK coach is a great guy, the Farragut coach is clueless--only team I saw that got called out of rotation multiple times...it's going to be an interesting year. Early Bird was great to watch!

Carmen Foster is a decent coach and knows the game but doesn't have the talent. upsets they werent. Early Bird tournament will start the season off right. Good luck to all the teams this weekend!

At AC playday, Farragut got beat by Catholic, but beat Webb. Farragut killed OR. HVA and Farragut beat Catholic at Catholic last night. HVA in 3, FHS in 2.
