Club Philosophy on Multi-Sport Athletes SoV supports the idea that participation in any sport is good for the physical, mental and social development of young people. Thus, we will not ask our players to give up another sport in order to play volleyball. We feel very strongly that it should be up to players and their parents to choose the sports and activities in which an individual should be involved and we will not interfere with those choices. We kindly request parents to engage in discussions with athletes to ensure that their sports schedules do not overlap, thereby enabling players to fully honor all of their commitments. It's essential to coordinate and prioritize activities in a manner that allows athletes to dedicate themselves entirely to each endeavor they undertake. This proactive approach not only fosters responsibility but also enhances the overall experience for the athletes, promoting their growth and development both on and off the court. We require our players make a commitment to their teams and if they do not feel that they can balance all activities and keep their commitment, they should have a discussion with their coach regarding their ability to commit. If this situations take place after the signing of the contract, and the player decide to leave the team will not receive a refund of dues and will be responsible for immediately paying the dues balance remaining for the season.
