In Episode 11, Brian and Chuck talk about the following topics: 1) The value of managing your own facility and how it helps build a club. 2) Aftermath of High School Tryouts and whether "Politics" play a part in decisions. In Segment 1, we share our experience of how valuable controling a practice facility is for the growth of a club. We discuss how to start the process of finding a space and the issues TNT faced when trying to convert a warehouse into a volleyball gym. In Segment 2, we answer the questions "Now What?" once the lease is signed. What things need to be considered to make a warehouse into a volleyball practice facility. In Segment 3, we discuss the aftermath of the high school tryout season. How do politics play a role in school tryouts? Why do National level club players get cut from their school team in their junior year? Are coaches out to get me?
