[quote=FPYCparent]My HS kid just finished a season on a top team at Paramount.  This was her first season with the club.  Hopefully, I can offer something objective.  :)

As far as CHRVA goes, Metro Travel and Paramount seem to perform the best across multiple age groups at the Open level for many years.  As far as I am concerned, Open level play gets the most college coach eyeballs watching.  In fact, a D-III school reached out to my kid after Big South back in April.  My kid isn't even a starter, but she routinely gets on the court.  Sure, it's not D-I (which my kid wants), but I think it shows the "reward" of playing for a club that consistently plays well in Open ... even if the club isn't a national powerhouse.

Someone recent shared the ScholarshipStats website (https://scholarshipstats.com/volleyball for more info) in another thread.  If those numbers are reasonably accurate, a rostered HS player has a 1.2% competing in women's volleyball at an NCAA D-I school.  I don't think those numbers imply that those players are actually getting athletic scholarships of any amount.  I have no problem believing that the percentage drops for those actually getting some athletic scholarship funding.

Unless you are willing to move somewhere else in the country (where youth volleyball is stronger across multiple clubs and high schools in the same region) ... and your kid wants to play high-level volleyball in college, she would be best served by playing Metro Travel or Paramount.  It's not impossible to get that level of exposure at another CHRVA club, but ... for now, it's almost built into the experience at those two clubs.[/quote]
