Can you clarify what club you are referring to as #4? |
There’s D1 and there’s D1. Metro’s the only club sending their kids to top and mid tier D1. |
Looks like VAE |
Can you elaborate on the bolded? I assume #4 is VAE. |
#4 has to be VAE
There is a big difference between where the players from Metro and the players from Paramount go on to play in college. |
#4 is VAE. |
Yes, Metro players are more likely to go to top or mid-tier D1 colleges. |
Each paramount team has had girls quit bc the coaching is worse than "harsh". But ok that's been heavily debated on this forum. To each their own. Metro has a deep bench and girls sit instead of getting playing time and exposure to recruiting. But again, some parents/girls fall for this sales pitch and being on the "best team". Other clubs rankings in the region is up for debate but overall it's what vibe your daughter and parents wants/thrive in. If your daughter is a true D1 player she's going to get recruited, being on paramount or metro doesn't guarenter it, nor does being on another team prevent it. Good players get noticed and ranked accordingly. |
Metro 18 T just lost in the challenge match to get to the gold bracket at 18s GJNC (best they can finish now is 9th). Great season for them. However, this means that last season’s Paramount 18’s record 5th place finish in 18 Open GJNC still will stand as the best finish of all time for a CHRVA teams in 18 Open GJNc |
Tomorrow (the last day of NEQ 16s Open) could be interesting for the Metro squad. Of the twelve teams vying for Gold in the morning, "only" four of them already have Open bids. Metro is pooled with two teams that already have Open bids. They may have to beat both teams just to make the Gold bracket and even then they may not get their own Open bid pending the results of the other morning pools. It looks like the Paramount 16s played themselves out of an Open bid on the first day of the weekend.
If I am reading last weekend's NEQ results correctly, the Paramount 15s finished tied for 5th in the Open division. I think they only won a morning match last Sunday (losing the other match), but that was enough to earn them an Open bid as the top finishers already had Open bids. In fact, there wasn't even a Silver bracket for 15 Open. Five of the top eight finishers already had Open bids (including all four in Gold), so the remaining three Open bids went to the teams that didn't already have one. Other than the Paramount 15s, only the Metro 14s and 18s have Open bids. As mentioned above, it looks like the Metro 18s are playing in Silver to finish in 9th place overall tomorrow morning at the 18s national championships in Baltimore. |
Metro 16s have a tough fight to win that bracket to make it to gold. I don’t expect them to beat A5 16s, but anything can happen. Would have been nice if Paramount was still in the runnings for open.
A couple 17 teams are at NEQ trying to get bids in different divisions. The teams below made it to the gold bracket in USA and American divisions, today’s play will determine if they win a bid. USA: Blue Ridge 17 Blue American: Metro 17 North (#2 team) Renaissance 17 Black DE |
Metro 16s got the open bid. An open bid is the hardest thing to achieve in club volleyball. Congrats to Metro 14, 16 and 18, and Paramount 15, for all getting the open bids. Let’s all celebrate greatness in our area for all these kids achieving greatness |
There are a lot of self-congratulatory parents on here...or maybe just the same few with the conversations amongst themselves |
I thought TAV would beat them but Metro pulled it off. Congrats to them! |
^I meant A5 not TAV. |
