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 :)

      Began as a discussion, and evolved into a trainwreck...   Don't know how many of the TC "old guard" are left, but I feel for y'all.   Everybody has to get the last word... no matter the cost and sometimes the cost is high.

      He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.

      Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
