Horrible experience with this club. Terrible coaches that ended my child's love for volleyballread more

If you want your child to stop loving the sport and have their mental and emotional health messed…read morewith this is the place to go. This club is all about the wins and about the teams making it to Nationals. Sure that's good but not when it's at the cost of a kids dream. So yes what Michelle T wrote is absolutely true. You are just another paycheck to them. The coaches will only play their favorite players. When you address the problem and why not all players are getting playing time they pawn it off on the kid and say it's because they aren't putting in the work at practice or they guarantee practice time not playing time. So the kid then thinks they are the issue and aren't working hard enough so they start to put twice as much effort in at each practice but the coache's will still not pay attention to them and only focus on the favorite players. This starts taking a toll on the kid and they start to hate playing or going to practice. You reach out to the coache's and club directors again and you get the same lame excuse as before except this time with "they should be happy to just be on the team and support their teammates". When you've sat there watching each practice and saw how this kid put twice as much effort and heart into thing than the favorites. Also I think any parent would be upset with these words because if we wanted our kids to be chearleaders we would of put them in a cheer squad not volleyball. The fact that you pay the same as any other parent should guarantee play time as well. Maybe not the same playing time as the favorite players but at least some. These clubs are meant to prepare these kids for the possibility of playing in college. If you didn't think a kid was good enough to play on the court in a tournament why offer them the spot on the team?

Vb in the q isn't worthy to merge w a team like duke city. Everyone knows ( Q ) they are…read moresubstandard. How does a national team have 3 players who have never played volleyball before??? Thats cruel to the new players and to those who are playing competitively. We needed a break from ARVC but what a joke. They drop down in divisions so they can win. Whoopty freaking do...14 years olds win 11's, 12's. That doesnt make players better. Parents know savvy didn't know, only saw that we were winning. Sad. I'll tell you who got a good deal: the player who never played vb or didnt deserve to be on a national team... why? Because the got to play w the only 3 national quality players on the team ghat were dooped into thinking they joining duke city but got compromised Q. Joe- you did nothing! You tricked us and never remedied the situation. We trusted you. I beg parents who are on the fence to reconsider. Private lessons w Hung saved us from the destruction the Q did. I have no idea why a reputable club like duke city is merging, which I hear may NOT happen.

Beyond Dissappointed. Summer practice was ok- coaches seemed to enjoy teaching girjs some skills,…read morechargef a decent fee, but it wasn't all that. A ton of girls and no real games, only scrimmages against the same team..little play time, and not competitive. Gym with no seating, no scoreboard, and mixmatched uniforms. Got a notice of a "club team tryouts". Asked if this was diffetent that summer session, and it was made to sound professional....Let me count the ways I now consider this place a scam: 1. Must pay 35$ BEFORE parent meeting and tryouts..No Refunds. (Thats pay $35 FIRST, show up and get outrageous fee schedule...even if you aren't interested - NO Refunds). 2. Some girls already returning from previous season before trying out, already picked out..seems its NOT merit based. 3. Fee schedule from basic in town $1250 with 2 weekly practices- to $2200 for practices and 4 "national" tournaments against second rate organizations in CO and TX...Id consider that regional not national.. 4. Costs cover: coach fees, coaching expenses, coaching practices, 2 practices per week, uniform...NOT food, NOT travel, NOT lodging (although I'd wager that coaches food, travel, and lodging are part of their "expenses". 5. Payment plan or "fundraising" to help others afford participation (probably selected by the same organizers that couldn't answer simple questions like: How are you diffetent than other clubs in the area?")..(by the way if I pay $2200 Im not selling chocolates too lol)...oh yeah and membership fees of $55 on top of it all. 6. 6 tryout dates..30+ girls each time...$35 prepay..do the math...(here, Ill help..$6,500 JUST for tryout fees..and location hasn't been updated in over 5 years, is run by family, and only has seating for appox. 30 people..where is all that $$ going) 7. And then..8-10 girls per team..so 4 spots rotating out..not much play time...and not competative. These fees are ridiculous. If I were you, unless there are NO other options (btw there ARE other options) and you are desperate to have your child show up for something and have $$ to waste...skip the fee and save your time & $$. I recommend Charlies Sandbox (summer sessions really improved skills!)

If you have kids or grandkids, they have a cute little play area outside for the kids. We will be back for the Cuban and turkey sandwiches which we heard were really good. The club and salad we had were also very good. Check it out!

Great bang for your buck on a work league. You can also sign up to be a substitute or free agent on their website.

I've been playing at Charlie's Sandbox for a little over a year now, and have to say that I've met some pretty awesome people here. There are 6 sand courts indoor and 3 courts outside. League play is once a week during weekdays (co-ed 4s and 6s, beginners to advanced levels). For a 6s team, cost per person is about $112, which is kind of steep, but it's for 3 months worth of league play. Open tournaments are on Saturdays and Sundays (King of the Beach, Queen of the Beach, co-ed 4s and 6s). Just check the website to see what tourneys are coming up as well as start times (Charlie usually has a tourney every weekend). Charlie's Sandbox just opened their Sand Bar, which can make things more interesting. ;o) they also serve hot dogs, etc. If you're interested in sand volleyball, definitely check it out.

This park is just south of the main balloon park so if the wind is right, you get quite a show without the huge crowd. We like to bring chairs and blankets and watch the balloons sail over.

There is also a big playground here for the kids, and port o potties.
