I'll start:
Bands playing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" when Penn State comes to play.
Knee pads with Whoopee Cushions sewn in. (I assume that's what they were.)

fans yelling "point _______" gets old FAST. High school ace serve cheers/celebrations that look like dance team routines.

1. "Yes, <Insert heralded recruit> is the real deal."
2. Bench players doing choreographed celebrations after a block, too, to add to what Eov said. But it appears our National Team participates in this.

Really? Here I thought I was being original.
Speaking of Spandex, when's someone going to get daring and wear shorts?

This sounds harsh, but I'm kinda over the whole dig pink thing. How about a new cause every year? Alzheimer's needs some research money. Suicide/depression, etc, etc.
3 minutes of serving during warm ups in high school.
Officials who don't adjust their uniform according to their current weight.

Most all of the music played at Husker matches, especially Sweet Caroline (It's so bad-so bad-so bad), and Hey Baby (I don't want you to be my girl).

Glitter headbands. And headbands in general. My middle always makes sure she has her headband on properly but it never ever stays in place, she has to take it off and put it back on after every play.
Trite and boring ace cheers. It seems originality is out for these cheers. One of the teams I coached shouted "Tequila!" after every ace. Yes, it was a fun group of parents.
The whole "march to the middle of the court as you wave to non-existent crowds" start to the match. Much prefer the "run to the end of the net and slap hands as quickly and as hard as possible" ritual.

For some reason I get annoyed by people yelling, "Side out, (insert team name)!"

Parents (who know little if anything about volleyball) who start a club after some imaginary slight against dear daughter so that dear daughter finally gets an opportunity to show the world how good she really is.
Parents and athletes who think dear daughter, or themselves, are not getting the right opportunity because A) coach hates athlete or B) coach does not know what they are doing
Athletes who comtemplate not playing high school because level of play and/or coaching is not up to club standards.
Net serve rule
Club net violation rule where only top tape matters
"Point" yelled by some parent before the synapses in the scorekeeper's brain even have a chance to fire
Pancakes
(had to correct mistakes - that is what I get for typing too fast because I need to start afternoon session of camp)

Pre game warmups, introductions, and handshake. Just walk on the court and start playing.
