My Nonprofit Reviews

After signing my daughter up for a workshop (2 volleyball practices during a single week), out of nowhere it was sprung onto us at the workshop that the coach expects each player to wear a mask during the vigorous exercise that is the training. We had already also paid the $550 for the Advanced Juniors program and we learned that the coach running the workshop will also be the coach for this Advanced Junior program. This is being demanded despite being held in a large, well-ventilated indoor facility that is shared with other teams who are all unmasked as there are also no current government mandates in effect given that it's August of 2022. Masking is already a highly contentious political and debatable topic given what we've learned about the lack of efficacy in cloth and surgical mask use combined with the known harms of masking children, particularly during exercise. There is also 0 mention of this masking possibility anywhere on the USYVL website. In order to avoid a problem, I demanded my $550 dollars back, since I was within their very strict time frame in order to receive a refund. They did issue a refund, but made it very clear that this was only because I was within the allowed time frame (their potential fraud was of no consequence). Their caviler attitude towards the harm that can be done to children when masking them, especially during vigorous exercise, is absolutely disgusting, and their lack of informed parental consent to their support and facilitation of this should be looked at from a legal standpoint.
