I would love to hear opinions about boys playing volleyball on clubs ( I know, this is high school but there seems to be some very knowledgable posters here I would like to hear form).

 

My daughter was new to the club scene this year.  I was surprised at the number of boys that we played against in regionjal tournaments.  What did not surprise me was that the teams with boys on them (two seperate teams) won three of the tournaments we enetered and went deep in teh others.  It was obvious the boys had an advatage over the girls in speed, strength, and jumping.

 

How long are boys permitted to play on a vball team with girls?  Do other people think this is fair or unfair?

although i don't know that its fair, i don't know if anyone can say no...its like girls can play football with the boys because girls football isn't offered, so if boys volleyball isn't offered don't they get to play? 

 

I get that argument but the counter is the girls playing football, 99% of the time, will not be bigger, stronger, faster than the boys they play against.  That's not the case in volleyball.  It seems like all these boys are stronger and faster.  It's no surprise that the only team with a boy  in a field of 32 teams won the tournamnet.

Too bad for the boys!  Who knows, If clubs offered more opportunities for boys to play volleyball that might just blow up.  After all look what happened at the men's NCAA division 1 tournament.  Two teams from Chicago in the finals.  Untapped potential in Tennessee.  Maybe K2 or KVA could get that started here.  Or do they already have boys teams?  Would be lots of fun.

Boys are only allowed in 12 & under

Yes this post is correct.  My son played for NETVC in east TN for two years.  He had fun and was doing good, but once you turn 12 you can't play anymore.  When we went to tournaments people were very excited to see him play because they did not see man boys playing.  It is to bad for him because he still loves to go with his mom to SS volleyball practice and play when he can.  The Southern Storm in ATL wanted him come play with them, but I don't think a five hour trip for practice is very practical, so football it is :)

      He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons

      A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that.

      Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
