• Who are the coaches? Credentials?
• What is the club's philosophy? (To have fun? To improve? To win?)
• When, where and how often are practices? 
• How far will teams travel?
• Cost? Monthly dues? Due up front? Is there an itemized report of costs?
• What is expected of players in the club?

Selecting a club is a family decision and takes some research.  Though clubs must abide by general CEVA and USA Volleyball rules, each club is different in the way they run their organization and train their athletes.  This is a big decision!  We highly recommend athletes and parents do their club research well in advance to tryouts.  Check out club websites, talk to classmates and friends, call the club directors and coaches, etc.  Club volleyball requires an investment of both time and money. It's a good idea to find out as much as you can about your different options before making any decisions. Remember to avoid assumptions as you start this process. Don’t assume a big club is better than a small club. Don’t assume a paid coach is better than a volunteer coach. Don’t assume the right fit for your friend is the right fit for you.
