[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP.  I think DD is ready to move on from Club vball.  I am encouraging her to (1) consider and (2) find/be open to a third way - a  non-travel club option.  It does exist in our area at clubs, but she doesn't feel like this is going to be worthwhile for her.  She's ready to move on.  I guess I am having trouble letting her let go (or perhaps I am having trouble letting go), given the years of time she's invested and the skills she has honed.

It's really helpful for me to hear from others whose DD were in a similar position, let go, and moved on.  I guess I am trying to convince her that there's a "third path," using analogies that I guess don't apply to volleyball (i.e., friends whose kids found a less demanding route for their classical music intrument, or syncohronized swimming, or other extracurricular).[/quote]

I have the daughter who stopped playing club and is happy and understand how you are having a hard time moving on. Look at me, I am still frequently on the this forum! Volleyball was a HUGE part of our life for so many years.  But my daughter has to make the right decision for her.  A lot of her friends still play at all different levels. Some are on the very top teams.  Some are on low level teams. My daughter is involved in some very time consuming activities in other areas of HS and that was the right fit for her. But yes, I do miss the tournament weekends and getting together with my friends there, as you will too. But ultimately, it’s up to them.  My DD would not have enjoyed being on a lower level club team.  [/quote]
