Ep 11 The Importance of a Facility & Fallout from High School Tryouts

In Episode 11, Brian and Chuck talk about the following topics:

1) The value of managing your own facility and how it helps build a club.

2) Aftermath of High School Tryouts and whether "Politics" play a part in decisions.

In Segment 1, we share our experience of how valuable controling a practice facility is for the growth of a club.  We discuss how to start the process of finding a space and the issues TNT faced when trying to convert a warehouse into a volleyball gym.

In Segment 2, we answer the questions "Now What?" once the lease is signed.  What things need to be considered to make a warehouse into a volleyball practice facility.

In Segment 3, we discuss the aftermath of the high school tryout season.  How do politics play a role in school tryouts?  Why do National level club players get cut from their school team in their junior year?  Are coaches out to get me?

As always, we finish the episode by answering a question from Volleyball Moms facebook page.
