[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD plays U14 for a club generally considered to be very good on these forums.  I'm not sure I would call the top MOCO U14 team the best of the "average clubs". The MOCO1s were legitimately top 10 in the region this year, even after losing their U13s MB and Libero to Metro Travel.[/quote]
You are correct to call me out on that. MOCO1 is legitimately a top team in the region, even though it is less competitive against what I would call the top teams (MDJRs Elite, Metro, Paramount, MVSA1). It is definitely not fair to call it average. What I wanted to say (and didn't come out right) was that MOCO1 was much better than any team listed in the title. In terms of tryout strategy, I would not even try to make a MOCO team at U14 without some volleyball experience. There are always exceptions for tall, athletic players, but those are rare. If your kid has no volleyball experience and dreams of playing volleyball without putting any work into it, you are wasting time and money by trying out for MOCO.

[quote=Anonymous]U14 has a really wide range of abilities and a lot of teams in the region.  The midpoint team in CHRVA was ranked ~4000 in the nation.  Using that metric, PVC 1s, both MEVC teams and all 3 MOCO teams were above that ranking.  DMV was just below 4000. Honestly, that feels about right both for the performance of those teams both inside and outside the region.  So if this year is any guide for next years 15s, you should see MOCO1, a big gap, then [b]PVC1 > MOCO2 > MEVC1 > MOCO3 > MEVC2 > DMV > PVC2 > PVC3[/b].  Just keep in mind that U15 brings in a lot of new HS players so there is a lot of movement every year depending where the talent goes.[/quote]
The list above is a good guidance for what offers to accept and in what order. MEVC has a good player retention, so it is hard to make one of their teams, even though they didn't do that well this season. Rookies have a better chance of making PVC (where retention seems to be a serious problem) or DMV (where the cost is outrageous). [/quote]
