[quote=Anonymous][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]

OMG that is such an extreme and WRONG view.  OP don't listen to this PP, it's absurd to say that if you aren't getting invited to invite only clinics you have zero chance of making that team.  The last few years are FULL of examples of girls who never went to an invite clinic for a specific team and were offered a spot.  To be clear, the demand for spots still far outweighs the number of spots, so most girls who try out will not get offered a spot.  But the idea that the only spots offered on most teams only go to girls who did invite only clinics (or were on team last year) is absurd.[/quote]

I thought the PP may be talking about super-competitive clubs, which I don't know much about. Note that their DD made it into college, which means she played at a higher level. [/quote]
