Simple -

There are currently two parents that have taken the time to either help me prepare stories or have written stories themselves for the report. One parent's girls play on Boomers and Palm Beach Jrs and the other parent's child plays on South Dade. I have writen all of the clubs and the only ones to be actively participating at the moment are Ocean Beach Volleyball, Volleyball Players Academy, South Florida Volleyball and South Dade.

If you are affiliated with another club, please advise the directors that we are here to promote every club and every player. But as the old proverb states: "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink".

It's up to the other clubs, parents and players to take an active role in the report.

Bottom line we are here to support everyone. Please remember that this is a free service and if more people get involved and maybe write two or three articles a year we would have a greater and diverse representation of Volleyball in South Florida.

Now comes a question for you - When are you going to write a nice article on Volleyball in South Florida - for us to post it?
