We are hoping this would be a better experience for our daughter. Once they have their key players, who play 80+ percent of the time, they then fill in the squad with developing players by letting them play about 10 to 15% of the time. Certainly discouraging for newer players. Meanwhile, you still pay the full $6000. God forbid you confront the coaches about anything and you get zero response from them. On multiple occasions, we’ve had concerns and received not one response. You can see the lack of team enthusiasm and team encouragement between the players and coaches. At one of the matches, at a Tournament, they felt it was best my daughter and another player sit out for the entire 3 game match to watch instead of teaching them what they need to know at practice. They were only really concerned about winning the game and not making sure all the girls had a fair amount of play time to develop. You can't expect much when the stronger players play 35-40 minutes and your daughter plays 3 1/2 to 8 minutes total in a match. They are middle school not division 1. Needless to say, certainly not worth the money we paid. We will never participate or recommend this program to others in the future.
Boys indoor volleyball is a great game that has been big positive for my son. In Southern California there will be at least 4 girls teams to 1 boys team. Many clubs are just girls, and I only know of 1 boys only team. I have a son in the Beach Cities Volleyball Club which is both a boys and girls club. This review is for the indoor Beach Cities Volleyball Club (BCVC) BOYS program. My son is starting his third season with his third coach. My son has played against and attended some camps of the other clubs in the region, and this is a quick list of BCVC strengths. 1. No other club comes anywhere near offering as much playing opportunities when including practices, camps, and clinics. 2. BCVC is by far the best value when looking a minute of court time to price. 3. Girls and boys sometimes practice at the same time, or even coed. If you are looking to create relaxed social opportunities this can be a big positive. 4. It is a non profit organization, which means you are participating in a community building organization. In all the organized team sports I have been involved in, the atmosphere the coach brings to the team is so important. In club volleyball the season is long (Sept-June), so it can be even more important. When looking around the web sites, the coaches will list their CV's. I have found that they don't always relate to bringing joy and camaraderie to the kids practice after practice. You have to see the chemistry with your son and the coach that will coach your team at the tryouts. Boys volleyball is a great game that has many moments of joy in each set of each match for both sides of the court. Where ever your volleyball adventure takes you, remember the parents cheer and coaches coach.
My boys joined the club last year during these difficult times. Coach Sadiq and Coach Diego were great last year, developing the skills needed to be successful volleyball players, all the while making sure that they had fun. I also give the club kudos for doing what is right in keeping the kids safe from covid, from sanitizing the balls, making masks mandatory, and overall setting a good example for the kids. Looking forward to watching my kids continue to improve and have fun with volleyball with this club.
I am writing a review about our experience with Beach Cities Volleyball Club. By far, the worst investment that we have made for our daughter. Having played volleyball for the last five years, we looked into several clubs in the area that we felt would be advantageous for our daughter's development. She went to tryouts with the Aviators which was our first choice, but there was not enough players to form a team, so we went with Beach Cities based on their reputation and high school program to prepare players for college. Our daughter went to their two day clinic, was invited to join the 16 Diamond Team and she was excited. Heck, we all were; however, as the season drew near, we received an email from the coach to welcome us to her team. Bewildered, because we were told she'd be placed on one team and was placed on a combination team that was compromised of novice players who had limited to any experience. We addressed our concerns to the coach, as well as, the high school coordinator, and the owner Chip, who did absolutely nothing to rectify our concerns. Dodged us, tried to appease us with meeting with us, and exclaiming Coach had "big plans" for our daughter and she did absolutely nothing to elevate her game, she benched her more than she played her, and pulled her out as a starter after the first rotation. WHAT? Having already made 4 payments, we were stuck and disheartened with her placement. Speaking with the coach wasn't a good move because she purposely did not play her and exerted she wasn't loud on the court while playing and that she wanted her to be more aggressive. Umm, she's the only one calling balls on the court and diving for balls. Coach said the players had bad habits and that their previous coaches did them a disservice. WOW! She made varsity her freshman year and did quite well the season and the season prior in middle school. Our daughter learned ABSOLUTELY nothing and regressed as a player in our opinion. Practice did not consist of scrimmage games with other teams within their club, but playing with players at a lower levels. To elevate your game, you should play with stronger teams to build upon the skill. Offer constructive feedback, encourage, and model what it is that you want from your players. Practice was cancelled weeks before in preparation for the Volleyball Festival, so no adequate practice was given to refine and condition players for longer playing time or anything. Upon arrival to Phoenix, AZ, the Welcome Party was at the Convention Center, yet the players did not have their badges to enter the facility. Tell us on the day of it's (optional)! Really, then if it's optional, distribute out the passes and give players the option to attend in advance not at 8:45 p.m. when the event is from 6pm -8:30 p.m. Our coach arrived late everyday to the tournament minutes before the game. No drills w/the coach prior to the game, no scheduled practice to warm the girls up or anything prior to the tournament. Require the team to eat dinner together, but do not sit or interact with your players, communicate with your parents, render a pep talk, or constructive feedback to pick your team up for the remaining game days. "Attitude" reflects LEADERSHIP! If you do not model that as a leader, how can your captain and teammates properly follow suit? A costly trip, with many let downs, yet there's a lesson in this experience. Before you choose a volleyball club for your child, make sure to ask questions, go to the summer clinics, read reviews, meet coaches and share your course of action with the coaches prior to signing a contract (see if it's a good fit), and do not accept a mediocre placement for your child.
