I have seen DOUGLAS (Parkland) a lot in the newspaper and on some blogs. I have never seen them play. Are they as good as I read?

They took bronze in their first two tournaments but turned heads in the jungle queen by taking out olympia and making gold bracket. Young team with a very tall good looking middle.

there pretty good but also young and inconsistent. they have great hitters and blockers along with a good backcourt. they just need to learn how to put it all together.

And the Douglas team will be at states - helping the teams that are playing find the right court and helping at the snack bar...

This is just an opinion from watching this team for many years or should say school...
First - this school has not had a good coach for many years so this brings low raitings for the team now. A consistancy of miss managed coaching. The AD has not put a lot of effort to build this team - like the baseball, soccer, or football team they have Second - in the past year the coach from a club walked away with the teams blessing and was replaced by another coach who turned the boys around and they won their districts last year. Third - last year they only lost 2 seniors... a growing team with players who have no experience in club etc. No support from the people in the school either. No team / school spirit. Fourth - this year the boys are young in age only 1 senior and the rest is above stated with a "sex god of a libero" also, I believe when everyone one is saying young, it goes back to having no experience. No club playing except now for a few players and a couple others who are considering. Fifth - the coach this year appears to be having poor controll over the boys as was seen clearly at some tournaments lately. They fight on the court which as anyone knows takes away the focus on the game being played. There is no unity or respect for each other, they show immaturity. That also meaning "being a young team". This team has potential to become big with the proper coaching (not the one they have now she cant handle them) and bonding as a team. They need to get over their petty little behavior problems and play ball. Sure hope this answered your question about being young. I know this from experience because... a few years back I actually switched my children out of this school district because of the AD and the poor coaching staff for the boys volleyball.
