[quote=Anonymous]CHRVA rules do not allow anyone to offer a spot on any team roster before the tryouts - the coach at Academy may have broken that rule (if it is true that your daughter was offered a spot). Only a couple of Academy 13s players will be returning, so this could be a safe team for many beginners who are interested in playing club. The experience will not be ideal because they will get crushed during tournaments (as their 13s experienced last year) and this will be pretty demoralizing. But you have to start somewhere and better clubs will not look at players with a few months of experience for their 14s team. Waiting around for another year will just diminish your DD's chances of making a 15s team next year, so a weak club is better than no club. If I were to choose between Academy and Mojo, I would choose Academy, at least they have more decent prices. Plus, I read a few troubling allegations about the Mojo coaches during the last few days (search the other volleyball threads).

You have to understand that the coaches cannot make promises before the tryouts, but a lot of returning players will likely make it back on the roster when they return at a new age level. A few of them will be replaced by players who developed better either within the same club (lower level teams) or coming from a different club. This is the main reason why beginner players cannot really compete for a spot in more popular / competitive clubs. The coaches may invite you for tryouts saying that you never know unless you try. In reality, any coach who watches you play for a few minutes can tell whether you would make any of their teams. As a beginner, you are there just to make the club look good by improving their stats (they will brag about how many players tried out at each age level).[/quote]
