[quote=Anonymous]My 13 DD is interested in trying out for club volleyball this year and went to the club's clinic. At the 13u clinic, we learned that there is no 13u team. Instead, the team is a combined 13/14 and they encourage all 13s in 8th grade to play-up a level because of college recruiters only looking at 18u down the road. Look, this club is not a Paramount/Metro-level and my kid is not likely to be looked at by any recruiters. I don't want to downplay her, but let's be realistic here. She just wants to play on a team with very supportive coaches and have fun with it, and maybe get a shot at making her HS team. Can you talk to me about playing up at this young age? I've come across statements on various club websites that they do not encourage playing up in order to have the strongest teams at every level. So, this approach took me by surprise.[/quote]
