A new volleyball club was just started by former A5 coach Suzanne Fitzgerald (also Walton HS head coach - national champs this past year) www.tkvball.comNot sure what coaches and players will be making the switch but it should be interesting to see how it pans out.

Interesting to see if it takes. Atlanta's one of the few metro areas that really hasn't had too much defection.

Heard a lot of A5 folks are not very happy and bailing.

A5 had something like 15 teams with earned bids (in different divisions) this year for nationals. That is just Crazy! Will be interesting to see what happens.

TAV has been challenged for years, though, haven't they? There've been many many viable clubs in the area. This is the first time A5 has faced this kind of thing I believe.

They have become a monopoly of sorts here. I think this would be the first time an exodus of coaches and players occured.

I know I saw a really nasty 17 Open bid match last year at Big South between the two...coaches yelling at each other, etc.

But now A5 South has poached most of Tsunami's best players.

I think I would have felt that earthquake if that happened!

A5 is being challenged in Atlanta, TAV is being challenged in Dallas and SPVB faces an interesting future. 3 very big and successful clubs are facing an interesting off-season. Suspect OTVA in Orlando is next.
