[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Loudoun Elite any good?  I see it's $7502 for this season.  That seems very high.[/quote]

Wow, that’s way too much.  My daughter wanted to try out for them but it’s too high.  I just checked their site and you are right.  [/quote]

I agree that seems really high. Their website does show they are planning for their top teams to attend a lot of multiday tournaments including 4 national qualifiers and  they are showing 3 days per week of practice plus a weekly strength and conditioning session. That's a pretty aggressive schedule that drives up their expenses for them, but that also seems like a lot of training and tournaments requiring travel for a club that historically hasn't qualified for USAV nationals or had a lot of players go on to play in college. I think this is a good example of trying to find a club that matches what you're hoping to get out of club volleyball. If DD is not likely to play in college but plays club for the experiences/friendships/fitness/something for college application/whatever, is it worth spending over $7k plus all those travel expenses?

Something interesting that I noticed poking around their website is that on their College Commitments page ([url]https://www.loudounelitevb.com/collegecommitments[/url]) [b]they include players who ever played a single season for them that went on to play in college[/b].They are transparent about what age(s) they played for the club. I don't think it's inappropriate - they played a part in these players' path to play in college.  Just not something I have seen others clubs do in that way.[/quote]

More clubs should do this but I think the floor should be U14.[/quote]
For setters and liberos, (starting) 12u is important. [/quote]
