High School vs. Club Volleyball

High School and Club volleyball has always been a matter of debate. Which is more important? Is a club player more dedicated than a strictly high school player? Are club coaches better than High School coaches? These questions have been discussed and debated all around the country. To help shed some light on the subject, we look towards the forum for some interesting insight from players, coaches, and parents who have lived the debate.

At the heart of the matter seems to be a perception by club players and their parents that High School volleyball is more about a popularity contest than about playing the game. While on the other hand, High School coaches claim that parents look through "rose colored glasses" when it comes to there own kids and a majority of the parents do not understand volleyball or the High School volleyball program. Club coaches make claims that for the most part, their High School counterparts do not benefit from the knowledge and experience most club coaches posses.

So we go to the forum for an interesting expose on the big debate and look at the argument from three different points of view: players; parents; and coaches. While the view points are very different, together we can come up with a solution to surviving High School volleyball.
