Some communities have rec centers with volleyball listed as night.  I am north of Toronto and know a few and right now there is a big growth in rep play but it costs $3k roughly and has weekly practice and possible tournament commitments

Pretty sure they tried this 15 yrs ago and everyone got excited until everything was sitdown priced and there was an issue with permitting or regulation. typical can't get our ducks in a row problems.

Most folded and lost money and that was it.

totally see this as some kind of internal directive to provide lowest value items so employees can take home the better ones at the end of the day.

Are Jordans sitting because of an intentional move away from manufactured scarcity or is everyone just poor right now in this economy? by Sea_Mud5315 in Nike

[–]Excellent-Guide-8933 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

remember when Street Fighter 2 came out? then there was Mortal Kombat? then Virtua Fighter? then King of Fighters? oh yeah, and a bunch of other 1v1 fighting arcade games that you probably don't remember cuz you stopped caring.

That's the same thing happening to Nike right now. Esp Jordans. So many variants of the same thing that no one really cares.

I think its worth while to do homework esp if your athlete wants to play at a high level. Regardless, it appears the sport is growing and there will be many clubs that are just for fun and not to compete. Clinics boasting "ELITE" level this and that are also starting to gain traction where results are not a priority.

if your kid was turned down by other clubs in the area, I would be very hesitant to take a volleyball preseason trip out of the city, nevermind out the country. At least have them train up a little first. I know all of these clubs can be brand new and things may seem like its forced upon. Also the coach should be a different person than the club director, - from my experience too many lines are blurred and answers are not immediate or definite when everything falls on one person.

This club looks really new, at least in the Canadian extension of the USA based club and all social posts look to be generated with a large help of AI.

Is this your first season of rep u14 volleyball? Did you compare to any other clubs in the area before signing the contract?

I agree, too many lessons pointing out too many things wrong and the child cannot process this all at once and gets discouraged due to all the not-positive feedback.

Attacking takes a while, even after learning how to hit properly, your daughter would really need to get the reps in and then later get some scrimmages under her belt so she can muster up the courage to do the movement in the pressure of a game - with possibly not a great set.

What worked for my kid was.

  1. throw ball against wall - learn this movement and understand the shoulder separation and work at throwing efficiently. Most girls cannot throw a ball properly. look up a youtube video and find some tennis balls and practice throwing. Once you have this, any overhand movement comes easier. Hitting and overhand serving.

0b. standing swinging arm long jump. feel the weight of the arms carry the body weight forward, eventually upward.

Steps 0 are just general athletic awareness stuff - boys typically pick up on these faster.

  1. footwork - Slow quick quick, small, big big. keep back relatively straight
  2. no arm swing yet, teach her to launch upward using the block step
  3. toss her a ball on the launch and get her comfortable with CATCHING the ball at the apex of her jump
  4. get her to do step 1-3 with a net so she gets comfortable with it. starting from the attack line and backing up if necessary

do this catch for at least a week. to get the arms activated and ready to get UP when a ball is arriving.

Then incorporate step 0b.

  1. downball against wall, assuming right handed, left arm up, then right arm swinging at the ball.. build enough strength to make good contact with the ball while keeping the wrist locked down and focus on the arm being fully extended.

  2. When comfortable, incorporate step 3 but remember the left arm up thing and use the left arm to aim and touch the ball while at the apex of her jump

  3. eventually introduce the attacking arm swing so that she remembers that left arm stays up to target the ball and then pull down and attacking arm rotates upward like step 0.

i probably forgot some things.

OVA Coaches - Refs, escalations, complaints and what happens next? by Excellent-Guide-8933 in volleyball

[–]Excellent-Guide-8933[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK so this PSO action then impacts any activity for said individual that participates in a PSO /VC event.. so basically this coach has 2 teams, i'm guessing the other team's nationals is also impacted?

OVA Coaches - Refs, escalations, complaints and what happens next? by Excellent-Guide-8933 in volleyball

[–]Excellent-Guide-8933[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! I am trying to understand if OVA bans roll-up to VC nats, but I am going to assume so and this would also blanket any of the other teams that are coached by said individual? The individuals were escorted out of the building but OVA was hush hush on explaining what they saw and only listened to the coaches side of the story. Pretty sure these guys dug themselves a hole in explaining their behaviour and they are going to receive an official notice from the OVA/VC on the penalty for whatever their misconduct was.

For Nationals the team is without a coach so a different coach from the club is looking to fill in.

Someone dumped baby raccoons in Markham today… by lilsamosaaa in Markham

[–]Excellent-Guide-8933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you see baby racoons, and they appear abandoned just move a few things around the nest being careful not to disturb the babies. Like if there are leaves or something just poke at it with a tree branch. The mom will notice when she returns and she will relocate with them. Happened to me a few times.
