Did you notice improvement in your athlete’s skills or confidence this season? If so, in what areas?
Her confidence and concentration improved a lot and she    became part of a team that cared a lot for each other win lose or  draw. When one is down or takes a knock they are all there for  each other.

What was the best part of the season for you as a parent (e.g., watching games, community, coaching)?
Community! Felt I belonged for my than I had in years we all lived  every minute of every game.
Coaches were great and always approachable not that I ever  had any issues. 
The energy watching games where they played as one was    electric they are one short step away from being formidable as  when they’re on it they’re on it!

Are you planning to return next season? If not, what would need to change?
Very likely
Comments:
We will tryout with you and hopefully she makes the team again !  If you are having a 17u team that is. But she and us realize she  still needs to do well in the tryouts to make the grade Of note   every parent I spoke to at the gala said they’d like them to play   again and finish what they started. The coach has shown the   girls have potential so it’d be good to see them fulfill it. More   fitness work and aerobic training would be good to see. At the   end of a long day against a team of equal skill those who are the   fittest will have the edge

 

What’s one thing the club did really well this season?
Bond the girls as a team, and get them thinking of each other   first and not themselves

 

What is your opinion of your Team's Head Coach and your team's assistant coach?
Coach Jordan is good. Firm but fair and every single player   came on leaps and bounds. Now coach needs to be given the   chance to finish the job! I’ve never seen a group of girls bond like   they have. Not ever!
Coach Desiree is great and a fun character to be around for  parents as well as players. Also very good technically when  teaching skills

14 Ruby Parent Survey Response:

How well was club communications and organization?
Communications were great. Jamie you are doing a amazing job  keeping us informed on tournaments/practice and other club  updates/changes.

 

Would you recommend Driven Dragons?
Yes, we have mentioned to all our friends about DD.

 

Did you notice improvement in your athlete's skills and confidence this season?
She improved her serving. She was always a good blocker and a  passer. With playing more volleyball she has developed the skill  of court awareness.

 

Best part of the season from you as a parent?
Watching the 14u Ruby team develop their volleyball skills and  playing as a team. How the girls are adapting to wins and losses  and how well they learn from the losses.

Are you planning on returning next season?
  Very Likely: We are loyal to DD. Like to see this club develop into   something amazing and I think we have the right mentality on top   for this to be achieved. Like to see DD reaching the American and   national levels in regional tournaments. [Adding this change for next club season to challenge and help our athlete's rise -Jaime Lizarazu 5/1/2025]

Comments:
I definitely noticed improvement in Madeline’s skill level and  improvement in her confidence level as well.

What was the best part of the season for you as a parent (e.g., watching games, community, coaching)?
The tournaments and watching Madeline serve and play

 

Were there any challenges or frustrations you faced with the club this season?
With the first tournament, Madeline had very little play time but we set up a zoom meeting with Coach Christian and also had an entire team zoom with him and after that, I think the season was great!

Are you planning to return next season? If not, what would need to change?
Likely
Comments:
We are not 100% sure what the plan is for next year. We will wait  to see if Madeline gets a loyalty offer with Driven Dragons, for  what team and would be curious to know who the coach would  be. If we did return, we would be really happy with that. It was a  great team, great group of girls, no drama and great group of  parents as well!
