[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What clubs do invite only clinics?[/quote]

It's almost every club.[/quote]

I’ve been getting “invitations” to Moco’s clinic but isn’t that just because we signed up for them? Are they really “invite only”? Or the real ones are probably something different?[/quote]
Pretty sure MOCO does not have “hidden” invite clinics like other clubs do.

There are times you will sign up for a clinic and not get an invitation though. Sometimes it’s due to capacity and sometimes due to skill level. They describe the process pretty well on their website.

We’ve been to several and they do appear keep the numbers limited so the players can be on the court.[/quote]

Thanks. I am not putting much stock in these "invitations" regardless. But my U16 DD really wants to play for them so here we are, attending these clinics. [/quote]

I’m going to give the contrary view, having had a dd playing from 12 to college vball. If you are not being invited to invite only clinics, you have zero chance of making that team. Clubs are well aware of who they want to offer well ahead of actual tryouts, for the most part[/quote]

The MOCO "invite only clinics" are different. MOCO invites to these clinics everyone who expresses interest in the club (each player is invited to at least one clinic). These are not the type of clinics where the club invites only the players they are interested in. It's a matter of scheduling for them because they want to give everyone a chance to be seen on the court. They only invite the number of players that they can handle - I think they limit the number to 24 (somebody, please correct the number if it is not accurate). It's a good strategy for MOCO because they make good money out of these clinics. Plus many players get out of the clinics with the illusion that they have a chance to play for MOCO, so they show up at the tryouts as well. [/quote]
