BEWARE THIS LEAGUE:
This is NOT a social league, they will from the top say they care about safety and fair play, but in practice they could not care less. I have played 1 season and 2 games with this league and I have seen unsafe play. This includes cleating players so badly they are unable to walk, players grappling others by grabbing them by the neck, etc.
The referees they hire do not care, they will occasionally call fouls, but I have never seen a yellow or red card no matter how blatant the behavior was.
If you are okay with rough play, this shouldn’t be an issue, but if you are worried about you or your child getting seriously injured I would recommend looking for another league.
UPDATE:
received a call from VOLO today asking me to return to play. I informed them of my safety concerns around a player who injured two of my team mates. They declined to comment on the player and told me that they were “concerned.” With no action plan given or any reason to return other than hopefully thing will magically get better.
The kids may play for free in this league, but the hospital bills are not free, make sure you calculate that into the cost of playing in this league.
