CT Adult Volleyball
In my 3+ years living in Connecticut, I have had a great deal of difficulty finding opportunities to play. 18+ leagues and open gyms are scattered across the state, and often times are difficult to join because of a lack of available information. I will use this post as an ongoing listing of available adult opportunities in CT -- split among Open-Gyms, Tournaments and Leagues.
If you have additional information on any of the following Open-Gyms and Leagues, or if you know of any other opportunities to play, please leave a comment, send me an e-mail, or respond to @volleynut on Twitter.
*Disclaimer* Please double check either by web or by phone with each of the venues/town recreation departments on the times and schedules. Some of these may have changed since I last checked.

Coaching with conflicting philosophies
The situation: You're assisting with a struggling high school volleyball program. The head coach has been there for 30 years with varying levels of success over the years. The full-time JV/Freshman coaches have minimal coaching or volleyball experience and follow the head coach's philosophy and teaching methodology verbatim.
Your background: You've been coaching for under 10 years, but have been working with perennial state championship contending high school programs, top ranked collegiate programs, and international coaching staffs. Your philosophies on how to teach the game from the ground up, as well as general theory, have been built upon a foundation of winning.
The question: How does one go about subtly changing the way things are run for the betterment of the struggling program?
