[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for feedback on Vienna Elite. They aren’t mentioned much in these threads. Culture? Competitiveness? [/quote]
No direct experience with Vienna Elite so I can't speak to the culture, but it seems like they have fallen off in recent years in terms of competitiveness.  Looking at their AES rankings from last season, the highest any of the their teams were ranked within CHRVA was their 14s, which were ranked 31 in the region at the end of the season.  Seems like only 2 Vienna Elite teams made it into 2024 bid regionals (12s and 14s) and both of them finished last in their divisions.[/quote]

We are a former Vienna Elite family. It’s a great club for someone ready for ”real” travel club volleyball as opposed to regional or rec. The Vienna teams travel to Florida, Pittsburgh, Philly, Etc. It is a kinder culture, friendly, positive, focused on development and player/team growth. There are playing time rules in the club so everyone plays a minimum amount at tournaments.  The teams are good but not super great (depending on the age group and coach).  In recent years club representatives have oversold the level of play to prospective members saying multiple teams were open level teams when they clearly were not. This was frustrating for players who expected to compete at that level, only to realize they were on teams with girls who had never played club volleyball before. Also frustrating for parents who were spending a lot of money to travel to tournaments to play in the wrong division. But the girls were happy, nice, friendly and hard working. Nothing bad to say really.

Their sister club DMV Elite does pretty well and is more competitive. We saw them win against or hold their own against teams like Virginia Elite. [/quote]
