[quote=Anonymous]I can only speak for my DD and her friends. We wanted our DD to play a team sport because all of the lessons she can learn from such experience. But she didn't want to play any sport involving contact, so we had very limited options. She discovered volleyball through a camp as things started opening up after the pandemic. We tried to sign her up for as many volleyball activities as soon as we heard that she liked it, but we only found rec leagues through the city of Gaithersburg and clinics through Montgomery County (we were not very good at doing these searches). I wish we were more knowledgeable about the club scene because we could have started club volleyball one year earlier. By the time we learned about tryouts, they were already over and the rosters were full. There was one more year of rec for her (which started to become frustrating because the level was really low), then club rec league through MVSA, then club (a different club - she didn't make any of the MVSA teams).

About half of the players on her JV team didn't have club experience. Some did a few clinics over the summer thinking that they might try out for HS sports. After the JV season was over, the girls learned about the club landscape and signed up for tryouts. If the numbers at our HS are similar to the numbers at other high schools, then the number of players pretty much double at the transition between MS and HS. [/quote]
