Luers is the Midwest Adam Roberts. Volleyball partner sugar daddy Not at all. Luers occasionally helps out if someone is in need. He doesn’t bankroll his partners. Luers owns and runs Airbnbs that he will give free lodging to all players traveling to Ohio for a tourney just as an effort to raise the quality of the tourney, not a partner exclusive bankroll. You should probably lay off the hate for someone you don’t know very well.

Players like Roberts, and Chris are vital to the growth of the sport. If players aren't helping the younger players get better, we are doomed internationally.

Wondering what is the condition of the six sand courts? via Google satellite they don’t look so good. Typically in the past if there was a little rain or humidity leading up to the weekend the courts would be pretty packed down come late playoffs and finals. So unless they brought in more semis of sand, I would expect these boys to be taking things to spiketown Friday afternoon. 52 teams last year, 71 and counting this year. I guess we will see an expansion of courts or an additional venue.

I don't see any hate in here. Stephen A trying to give a hot take.... I think it is about the implied statement, the only way Chris or Adam get good partners is because they cover everything.

I don't see any hate in here. Stephen A trying to give a hot take.... It seemed a little salty to me. Probably based on the previous Adam Roberts hate, which I understand to an extent because Roberts can come across a little self-satisfied on occasion, but hard to argue with what he has done for the sport and I dont personally find anything in his personality that isnt prevalent on pretty much any beach between San Francisco and Baja

I don't see any hate in here. Stephen A trying to give a hot take.... Maybe it’s just me but I think sugar daddy has a negative connotation. And Guest2 is definitely onto something considering the previous statements about Roberts that have been made when for both of them, particularly with Luers, it seems to me that he helps out because he can, not because either one of them tries to parlay their wealth into strong partners. Particularly with Roberts seems to me like it probably started with him helping out and then word got around. If you decide that Roberts deserves criticism for it, shouldn’t his partners as well?

Roberts got a 7th last year on the AVP, when he stops producing, that is when crap should be given to partners who are CLEARLY above him. But that hasn't happened yet.
His 2 AVP partners in 2019 had their best years as pros. He may not be able to get to Sundays, but he is teaching.

No hate towards anyone. I know Chris and Logan very well. Paying for Flight, room and board, entry is all i'm talking about. Not hate but jealousy for sure. Never had enough money to help out a good partner nor ever good enough to have that offered to me. Logan wasn't going to be playing with Chris in AVP events from what I understand. I guess we will see when people sign up for the events coming up. No disrespect to Chris or Adam. Both are great players who are willing to share the wealth. It helps them and it helps the guys they have helped out. We do need more wealthy guys to adopt some younger guys with talent to help them concentrate on volleyball. We all know that there isn't much on the Mens side under 25

Agreed, it’s great what Chris is able to do and we should expect anyone who is able to help partners like that to do the same. Maybe it helps him secure good partners but he’s giving those partners opportunities to compete and develop that they might not otherwise have the means for. Shouldn’t be a negative connotation on it at all.

Just heard from one of the organizers that this event isn’t 100% a go.
