Is Oshkosh an engineering school??? Is it a 6-year program? Do those kids graduate?!? That Wayne kid is back??!!? I mean eventually you gotta hit the books.
Things I've learned about club volleyball- Utah Valley will always sucks, but always think they're amazing. West coast teams will always think they deserve more respect, but one player doesn't make a team. Is that Frankie kid back at LBSU? He sucks.

And before we start saying players suck, did you, or do you play NCAA? and as of right now frankie is working nad graduated, but you never know when someone might want to come back second semester for their second bachelors! Oh and we do deserve more respect!

If west cost teams want some respect they have to win something. H-I or Vegas would be a good start. Heaven forbid that someone from the west coast win nationals.

I believe the last 3 years for Vegas were Illinois, Central Florida and Arizona. Seems pretty balanced to me. How many west coast teams even go to H-I? Maybe 1-2 per year? Midwest teams may have taken the last few nationals, but keep in mind it was basically Cal/Arizona there for awhile and Fresno State technically took '04 with the MATC fiasco. Just saying in a league in which *most* teams don't recruit, and very few have the same coach for an extended time period, it is difficult to stay consistent year to year. Case in point: How did Oshkosh finish last year? Any team from any region could potentially field a great team any year and make a run at a title, so the concept of "Respect" in club volleyball is pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

everyone has made a point somewhere, but in m opinion, a team gets respect when they are consistently good for multiple years.

I guess it would be easier to attend the H-I if we had any money...why dont the Mid-West teams travel west and compete over here. And what do you consider good for a couple years? What if a team is amazing and could win nationals but doesnt have any money to attend nationals? would you consider that a good year? And really who takes vegas seriously!!! I bet teams that are from back east and have a COACH nad money do find it easier to win nationals. Those teams also do not have to turn players away because they played Junior College for one season because NIRSA thinks that they are the same type of player as a 4 year NCAA all american!

I don't know where you think these teams get their money from, but a lot of teams make the effort to fundraise! A dedicated team who knows they are good and wants to compete at nationals will find a way to get the money.

Our team receives $900 max from our school most years and we still find ways to go to tournaments. I beliebe most teams use a method called "fundraising" to attend tournaments and nationals, as well as hire coaches... but having a coach doesnt mean much, look at Illinois, they have not had a "coach" but are able to acheive consistent success.

I disagree, having a coach is huge if you're trying to win a national championship. If you look at the teams that are consistently in the final four, they have coaches.

How many other teams don't have coaches?

Im just saying that i bet it is easier to get fundrasing money when you are the sole volleyball team as opposed to the LA schools where no one wants to support you because they would rather support the NCAA team. Also you dont think that a coach helps? then why do all professional and national teams have coaches?
