Club volleyball players, What were your experiences like on a club volleyball team? |
I'm thinking about playing club next season 2nd year playing volleyball..,but I'm not sure about costs, travel, and commitment yet. Please help. My experience was not pleasent. It was a 2 year old club, so it was fairly new. The lady running it was money hungry and the girls coaching me were given false information so they weren't completely engaged in teaching us. That's all because the club was new and not well-researched by me and my family and not looked at by someone credible in upper management. You should really really research the clubs around your area, make sure they've had many years of establishment. It can cost anywhere from $600-$5000 all depends how high up you want to go. Some clubs travel just around the state while more expensive and competetive go around surrounding states so if it's only your second year, you might want a smaller club team. All depends what you're looking for so find out what you want out of a club and check around your city and surrounding cities and research them well! Have fun, really hope you find a good one, it IS a really good experience if you can find a credible team. I'll admit that i only played club for 2 years, but it was a hella good time. alot of teams stay local so the cost to travel isn't that bad, also your team can do fundraisers to get money for traveling games. it's not really expensive to play, but it's not cheap. again, it can depend on the team. alot of times they require you to practice 2-3 nights a week for about 2+ hours. the tournaments last from Saturday morning to Sunday night. depending on how well you do. it's usually an early start and a late end. but all in all it is totally worth it. it's very competitive, some expect there to be some glares from other teams, or even jealous teammates. but still, i say play club and have fun. its so much fun. about 3-5 days a week for practice and me i have tournaments every weekend. the cost for me was $500. but if your traveling that is a whole other story. club volleyball ranges from 400-1000 it is so Difficult 2 balance Ur StudiEs and CLub but in my case its Fun but very exhausting so its like......we wake up at like.........5:00am in the morning and like go 2 skul at 8:00 am and then after class we go training again at 5:00pm in the afternoon Yes they will really try their best 2 torture u but in a fun and happy way ^_^ club ball is AWESOME u get 2 hang out with freinds at ur hotel and while ur playin If u love v-ball a lot commitment wont be hard 4 u travel is kool if u travel with team mates clubs charge 4 playin because of the fee 4 tournaments to ur fee all depends on how many tournaments u go to---- the hotel cost depend on what hotel u stay at prices range $90-$200 a night experience I love club i met a bunch of new people throught it. i've also made a few people mad but they are a lot of fun. the tournys are great. theres a bunch or really cool t's always a pluse and i met a few hot guys but the cost for us was avout 1000 dollars a little over and sometimes we even go into june but its fun |
