My high schooler is hinting that her VB team will participate in the Flint Hill Invitational in September. I can barely find any info on this event, but have stumbled upon some other in-season tournaments. I'm guessing some tournaments are better than others. What's the general consensus on these events? How many teams usually play at these events?
30-31 Aug: Virginia Volleyball Showcase (hosted by Richmond Volleyball Club) 07 Sep: ISL Playday 07 Sep: Heritage (Invitational?) 14 Sep: Alexandria City Titan Clash 14 Sep: Endless Summer Tournament (Virginia Beach) 21 Sep: Crossroads Classic (Justice HS) 21 Sep: Flint Hill Invitational 21 Sep: Hayfield (Invitational?) 28 Sep: Battle of Bethesda 12 Oct: Tiger Paws Invitational Any others ... particularly any that don't only involve VHSL Class 6/FCPS teams? . |

| Honesy, Flint Hill Invitational is pretty low class. |

Tiger Paws at Jackson-Reed (Wilson) in October usually draws a few good teams that don’t otherwise get to play each other. The past few years the finals have been Flint Hill vs Holy Cross. Prior years have included Colgan, Urbana, Bishop McNamara and other usually solid teams. |

| What's the typical entry ticket price to some of these local VB tournaments? FCPS currently charges $7 per regular season sporting event. |

| I think the Alexandria City tournament is $5 this weekend, at least it was last year. |

I didn't stay for the finale at the Flint Hill Invitational, which pitted Bishop O'Connell versus Colgan for the second time that day. They split a two-set match in pool play.
BO knocked out Flint Hill and Colgan beat Fairfax in the playoff bracket to advance to the championship match. In pool play, Flint Hill went 3-0, Fairfax 1-1-1, Bishop Ireton 1-2-0, and Osbourn Park 0-2-1 on one side. Colgan (advanced on points), BO (advanced on points), and James Madison all went 1-0-2 and Mercersburg Academy last all three of its matches. To answer an earlier question, spectator admission was free. Any other results worth mentioning? |
