Club volleyball in knoxville

[clubonlyforus]

Neither of the 2 K2 tournaments have been good for "elite" teams.  Good teams will blow by everyone all day Saturday and up until the semis or finals on Sunday.  NKYVC is really good and so is one or two of the Carolina teams, but it is not enough to waste the whole weekend.  If A5 sees a weak list of teams, it doesnt bother them at all to not participate.  They go where the competition is.  Same thing with MAVA, KIVA, etc.

Well, there are 2 sides to every story. I will check with J and Chris and find out if they didn't call or didn't take any more calls from Dave. I'll let you know.

 

There is NO competition in our region. That's why K2 doesn't play in it..

[PhillyAl]

So are you saying the Icebreaker has a "weak list of teams"?

[clubonlyforus]

Appears to be this year.  I have not heard of some of the teams.  Several of us have been wanting to go back to the Icebreaker for the last few years, but apparantley it has gone down hill.  Anyway, we will do our best.

[PhillyAl]

Not knowing who your team is I'm sure they will do great. Wish our two clubs could get together for some "play days".

[Knoxdoyles]

Same here. I haven't heard of some of them. But who knows.  Never should assume they are weak, just because we haven't played them before. All you can do is play your game.

This reads like a middle school chat room after a school dance. "Our club is the best!" "No our club is the best." "If you don't coach a club team, you're not a good coach." Yadddda, Yadddda, Yadddda.

Knoxd  thats true.

 

Hardangle  not sure where you are coming from. I do think what you can get from this topic is that the 2 clubs in our town are good for everyone. It gives all the girls a chance to play in the atmosphere that they want.

 

Not all club coaches are good. Not all high school coaches are good. Well most high school coaches in this area are very bad. Notice I said most. If you want to go there then post in the correct topic and i'll go there with you..lol

Face it Philly you don't like ANY high school coach! Hard Angle I laughed out loud at you post. Good one.

[PhillyAl]

I like some High school coaches. I like the ones that can coach Volleyball. The problem is most of them can't coach. Not getting into the coaching stuff on this thread. There is a thread we can talk about this on. This isn't it.

 

ORCAT This thread is entitled "Club Volleyball in Knoxville". Nothing about high school.

 

Start a thread on it and I'll go there with you..

I recently attended a blocking clinic at a KVA center. I saw it advertised. A former Carson-Newman player Nikki James was conducting it. My daughter is just becoming interested in vb. I stayed and listened. Wanted to pass along it was informative but more impressionable was after the clinic i talked with the player. She led the nation in blocks one year at CN and was 2nd in nation another year. She mentioned she got to be a part of a team that went to top 32 in nation 2 seasons under Coach Mincey who used to coach at CN ( who was there also at the clinic) When i asked her a question she said yes mam. What coach does that anymore. What i felt was great is that a young female former decorated athlete is mentoring to these young girls in a respectful way. She mentioned she and Coach Mincey were helping coach a team. Something different about her demeanor. Im hopeful that my daughter can play for a impressionable female coach. Ive just read many posts on here and feel its everyones desire!
