[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to add that if you look at the top clubs in top volleyball regions—such as A5, Legacy, and Circle City—you’ll see that their top teams play in Open, their second teams in USA, and their third teams in American, Liberty, or Freedom divisions. They have a pyramid system where players can move up or down based on their development. This is a stable and proven system for success.

Paramount is moving in this direction. Their 15-1 team played in Open, 15-2 in National, 14-1 in National, and 14-2 in Freedom. Now, they’re adding 14-3 and 15-3 teams. With their own gym and the growing popularity of volleyball, it's not hard to predict that they'll add 11-3, 12-3, and 13-3 teams in the coming years.

Currently, Metro is only good for the top two players at each position and age group. It's not even good for the third-best players in those categories. Metro is adding 15-2, 16-2, and 17-2 teams, but as I wrote above, the success of these teams depends on how much the club invests in them—the quality of coaches they hire and the training they provide. They haven't done much to their regional teams.

If Metro and Paramount were two companies, I would buy Paramount's stock over Metro's.[/quote]
I think it's great that Paramount is expanding and improving and is pushing Metro to do more as well. It would be nice if there were others clubs that were able to up their game as well. That said, I think Paramount has a serious culture problem that needs to be addressed. They lose far more players season over season than most other clubs. They also lose more players in the middle of the season than any other club that I have heard of. In talking to the parent's of some of these players, the culture is toxic and the goal seems to be more about pumping up the egos of the club's leadership rather than developing or creating a positive experience for their players.[/quote]
