This review is intended to warn future members of this recreational volleyball club.
Background: I have played with the volleyball hitters for years and I think it is appropriate to list my discontentment about the club.
1. Conflict of Interest. Rocio has a team, therefore, the volleyball rules, game schedules and team reffing doesn't apply to her team. For many seasons, I have noticed a pattern. Rocio changes the schedule during the game to benefit her team. For example, her team is always scheduled to play 2 games, 3 games or 4 games in a row. You will never see her team sit in between games.
2. Volleyball rules are a joke. If you play against Rocio's team; the rule book is out the window and referees do not have the backbone to stand with their calls. At one point, Rocio overrides the rule when it comes to her team's advantage and the ref just agrees with it. Call it dirty volleyball. Refs are just there for the sake of it. They make terrible calls ALL THE TIME.
3. False advertisement. They tell you that the season is for 10-12 weeks but really if your team makes it to the playoffs, you play for that duration but if not; you only play for 10 weeks (recent change - used be just 8 weeks). It's quite a short time for the amount ($85) you pay. Other leagues charge $60 for the duration of the calendar season (13-14 weeks).
4. No incentives. For the price you pay, at least give the champions and nonwinners some sort of a reward..a volleyball perhaps, a t-shirt or a pen (hell, I'll take it). Bragging rights is not fitting due to the club's reputation.
5. Disorganized club. You would think that Howie and Rocio (organizers) have dot their "i"s and crossed their "t"s but after several complaints or suggestions from the players; NOTHING is done. Same old, same old. It saddens me because this is the only volleyball club that hosts women's league in the area and as a player, you suck it up and move on with your frustrations because you love the sport.
It is disheartening to publicly give the recreational club a review but no matter how many times you suggest directly to the organizers; they simply do not make the changes. Again, if you are a volleyball enthusiast and really enjoys the sport, you are better off joining another league. Volleyball hitters is chaotic and expensive.
