The Reality That College Admission Has Become The GoaL

Seven professional volleyball men's teams recently selected a total of 20 players, including trainees, out of 42 participants in the 2023-24 Korean Volleyball Federation (Kovo) men's rookie draft. The employment rate was the lowest ever at 47.6%. This is lower than 56.25% in the 05-06 season, when 16 people applied and 9 people were selected. This is also the first time that the employment rate has not exceeded 50% in the 20th rookie draft.

Regarding the minimum employment rate, each club cited problems for various reasons, but pointed out that the biggest problem among them was that there were no "players to pick." In fact, there is a clear difference between the high school and university teams and professional leagues. Overall, the average level of volleyball skills of players is gradually decreasing.

On top of that, with the introduction of the Asian quarter system, clubs think that it is better to strategically reinforce the Asian quarter by using low-salary and talented players rather than fostering rookie players who have to teach the basics. This phenomenon is expected to become more serious in the future.

Even if they are selected in the draft, it is difficult for many rookie players to last two years. With the team entry set, if a rookie player comes in through the draft, someone has to leave the team. In the reality that this situation occurs repeatedly every year, it leads to no dream or hope for players who have only played volleyball all their lives targeting professional teams. Some players who have left the team sometimes try to get back into the professional team, but the probability of actually getting back into the professional team is so low that most give up and go to the business team or leader's path.

When asked to middle and high school students who are currently playing volleyball, "What is your goal?" and "What is your dream?" it was inevitable that the majority of them were playing volleyball aiming to enter college. Wasn't the dream of the normal athletic friends to be like the idol they wanted in the national team or the professional team? Now that college admission is the goal, it was bound to be quite shocking, and I became aware of how serious the current situation is.

It is necessary to think about whether student players are playing volleyball only for college admission. In a situation where the professional door is getting narrower, there are not many options if you don't get a professional. The business team is in a similar situation to the professional team. This is because the team is run around veterans with a fixed number of entries. In the course of leadership, the school volleyball team is gradually disappearing, and the way to get a job as a leader is also a needle hole. In this situation, student players have no choice but to enter college as the best option they can aim for. Although he loves volleyball and likes volleyball, it is sadly the present of Korean volleyball that most of the players whose goal and dream is to enter college because of the high wall of reality.

If you are a volleyball player, you should feel responsible for this reality. The volleyball community should work together to establish a long-term plan for the revival of Korean volleyball and speak with one voice to realize it. Various solutions should be discussed and focused on feasible plans, including expanding the base of volleyball, revitalizing youth volleyball, systematizing prospects and leaders, operating a dual national team, and introducing a second-tier V-League.

In June, the Korea Volleyball Federation held an integrated workshop. The biggest event among the workshop events was the forum inviting outstanding overseas leaders. Andrea Gardini and Lorenzo Bernardi, who were inducted into the FIVB (International Volleyball Federation) IVHF (Hall of Fame), were invited to discuss.

Amid various discussions, all participants agreed on the importance of the second or lower leagues. Andrea Gardini said, "The players need opportunities. The top league is also important, but it is a healthy league only when the lower league is strong," he said, stressing that the Italian league has several lower leagues. Manager Lorenzo Bernardi also said, "The coach at the helm of the team has to win the game. As a result, there may be a burden on giving young players a chance. In some cases, they may be in a situation where they have to assume the position of director. Young players are the future of the team. We need to find a way to give them a chance, he said.

However, it is a question mark as to whether it is possible to introduce the second-tier league in reality. I don't think it can operate exactly under the current situation. Currently, if you look at the total operating cost of the professional volleyball team for one year, it is slightly different from team to team, but it is spending an average of 6 billion won to 10 billion won. For the men's salary cap in the 23-24 season, a total of 5.81 billion won, which is 4.15 billion won and an option cap of 1.66 billion won, is applied.

The revenue structure of Korea's four major sports clubs is divided into broadcasting ticket fees, admission ticket revenue, advertising revenue, product revenue, and sales revenue in the stadium. The broadcasting rights, which account for the largest portion, were made at the association or federation level, and even that, except for professional baseball, which was set at about 54 billion won per year, broadcasting rights are insignificant for other sports. Professional volleyball and professional soccer are in a very poor situation, with 5 billion won per year and less than 3 billion won in professional basketball. It is right to see that there is no real return to the club. For a club that pays billions and tens of billions of dollars every year, the second division is too much of a burden.

Therefore, in reality, it is necessary to invest in middle and high school elite schools rather than running the second division. In fact, a famous school in Seoul has a one-year budget of 13 million won for its volleyball team. This amount is an amount that is used up once each player matches their uniform and participates in the competition. Parents are encouraging their children to quit volleyball, as subsidies for elite schools are decreasing and the financial burden is relatively growing. As the number of volleyball students decreases, middle and high school volleyball teams gradually disappear, and the probability of having a good player is inevitably reduced.

Volleyballers now need to change their eyes. You should look inside, not outside, and try to solve the fundamental problems. Student athletes are our hope and future. Rather than waiting for a good player to come out or for a leader to raise a good player, it is time for the volleyball federation, the Korea Volleyball Association, and the club to work together to make efforts and invest in student players to carry out their dreams. 스포츠토토
