[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Metro was never really interested in the younger age groups, not many clubs were.  The interest in volleyball has grown so much in the last 5 years, even at the younger ages, it makes sense for clubs to expand to include 11U and 12U.[/quote]

Metro wasn’t interested until Paramount started it. MVSA had been doing it for years, but Metro never cared because they knew they could always poach those kids when they got to U14-U15, and because they never viewed MVSA as a threat.  Now they care because Paramount is doing it (and doing it so well)[/quote]

Lol…I have no dog is this fight. I don’t expect Metro to stop poaching U14-U15 players, even though they now have U12 Travel.[/quote]

If you don’t have younger U12 teams, it’s much much easier to say NO to the players at tryouts for U13 bc there is no club history with the family. And they can just pick the best players from everyone else’s younger teams .
Plus the parents of the super talented players don’t want their kid just growing up with the club alongside mediocre players from other “club families” if it means the team is not as competitive.

Metro should just let paramount try to cultivate the younger players and then take their best ones the next year as the usually do to other clubs.[/quote]

I think by having the younger groups Metro now has 2 different avenues to recruit the best players. One, they can keep the best players they develop internally and two, they can still lure the better players that other teams develop. They now also have the additional benefit of getting club fees from the younger group. [/quote]
