[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP says her kid is 2010 age group.  Would that have been 15s this year?  I followed the 16s this year and from what I heard and saw, I would say MEVC 1s was the best of these clubs, then MoCo 1s.  Neither PVC 1s or 2s (and we're talking about Platform, not Paramount or other "P" team) looked very strong.  I watched them play in a smaller MVSA tournament in May and I would say they would rank last in this list, with DMV and MoCo 2's tied for second to last.

[b]Last year, this forum made it sound like MoCo was the best of this list, but MEVC 1s looked solid this season.[/b]  I thought MoCo 2s would have done better, but they came out below DMV in a couple of tournaments.

One thing to consider in addition to a club's skill level is the practical aspect of travel arrangements.  I heard that PVC requires their players to room together, without any input from the players, and that if parents come to the travel tournaments, they have to pay for their own room, separate from their child.  This resulted in lots of unnecessary drama and extra energy wasted on the social aspect of the team, not to mention more costs for the parents.  While some families might like the team bonding aspect of this travel arrangement, it would be a non-starter for other families.

If you are choosing among these clubs, do your research, go to the pre-tryout clinics, and meet the actual coaches that are assigned to the specific teams.  Keep in mind there are other considerations besides skill level of the club and cost that may make one club a better fit than others.[/quote]

I don't think there is any doubt that MOCO1 dominates the 14s in the average club category. Last year they earned a bid to the USAV Nationals, but they lost some players to better teams (including Metro). This year they went to the AAU Nationals, where they ranked 33 in the Aspire division: https://results.advancedeventsystems.com/event/PTAwMDAwNDAzMTA90/divisions/188464/standings . PVC1 (50), MOCO2 (83), and MEVC1 (83) happened to be in the same division: https://results.advancedeventsystems.com/event/PTAwMDAwNDAzMTA90/divisions/190676/standings . Assuming that the teams stay together, you will likely see MOCO1 >> PVC1 > MOCO2 ~ MEVC1 for the next season's 15s. But few teams stay together - some reshuffling will happen with the best players moving up to better clubs. [/quote]
