[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So short girls have a chance to get on a club team? Sounds like they only want tall girls in the higher age groups. [/quote]
Short girls can get on a club team. My DD is 5'3.5 on a good day and there are a few shorter than she at age U15. At U11, there was a 4'9" on her team (she was libero). As they get older, the shorter girls need to have their skills and conditioning very well developed and push harder to get noticed across different clubs/coaches. Sad fact, but true. There are mid level clubs that are more 'loyal' to players that they have seen over time, so finding a good fit is key. However, a shorter girl that wants to play middle or hitter will have a much harder battle without bringing something serious to the table in capability to get past blocks or to block etc if they want to be front row. DD's HS varsity team has a 5'7" player who has an absolutely amazing vertical and she is OH - jumps higher and moves faster than most of her taller counterparts. They miss her big time if she is out sick and don't have her on the court.[/quote]
