[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no dumb questions. Your DD will be U 14 or U15 depending on her birthday (the cutoff is in July).

You should strategize your tryouts depending on how good your DD is at volleyball. Tall, skilled, very competitive - that sounds like Metro. With no volleyball experience, your best chance is Platform (it will be difficult to make a U15 team with no volleyball experience in any club). In between, you can consider MOCO, a top Platform team, or Metro regionals. The tryouts are in November: each club will post their schedule a few weeks prior. To have a better chance at making a team, show up to some clinics.

I hope I answered your questions - let me know if you have more. [/quote]

I agree that there are no dumb questions. But I disagree that - without knowing where OP lives and what options OP is looking at (if any) for her DD to take clinics/camps this summer to be ready to try out for her high school team - I disagree that Metro. MOCO or Platform are her main options. There are so many more teams, and so many more options depending on what her DD and family are willing to do now this summer to try to get her ready to try out for her high school and whether she plays JV or V or rec for Fall 2025.

OP I basically just said the steps I recommend: If you can, have your DD sign up for DMV volleyball camps (day camps, week long camps, clinics by popular DMV clubs), and find out what your DD's options are in her high school.  Do they have a team? How competitive does school say tryouts are?  Tryout anyway because you never know, and if she gets on JV or Varsity, great, but also ask what her options are if she doesn't get on a team.  Playing for Fall school season will really help with getting her some experience before club tryouts begin which will likely be early Nov 2025 for Spring 2026 club season.

In the meantime look for recent threads on clinics and camps open for this summer; many will already be full but you never know.  If money isn't an issue, and your DD is up for an overnight camp, try Nike Camp for volleyball (many options in this area).  My DD did it several years and always felt like it was worth the money because she felt like she really did develop some skills in the 3 or 4 days she was there. (Camps are on college campuses in area and all over US).

And once you figure out your summer plan, go back and read and read other discussions here with families that are new to volleyball (I don't know if older threads are here or in the general sports category; this subcategory is new).  Good luck! Ask more questions if you have them and let us know how things go![/quote]
