[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a U13 player with several seasons in Rec league under her belt. I am looking for a step up from rec but not quite Club/travel. Does this exist? In rec we keep getting teams with brand new players with no skills (ball ducking/watching, not moving to the ball, nondirectional hitting) and it's hampering her development. She wants to continue to develop and start playing real games. We are in east FFX county.  Any suggestions?[/quote]

We jumped from rec to club for exactly the same reason. And excessive travel (for no good reason) is the reason why we want to step back. In Maryland we don't seem to have options, but I saw some options posted for Virginia. Unfortunately I cannot remember what thread they were posted on. I feel like more and more parents are getting tired of travel for the sake of travelling while there is enough local competition. Not sure when or whether the clubs are going to listen and adapt.

You’re probably thinking of Volley Viet as the Virginia club that’s inexpensive and doesn’t travel too much.[/quote]
Volley Viet is a club, even thought they tend to travel less. Plus, if you are not already in Volley Viet, it is hardly an option for most players (they have strong preference for returners). Someone described some options in Virginia that were not club and I felt like there were no tryouts / cuts. Sort of rec at a higher level. [/quote]

I didn't know how Volley Viet is on the girls side but about half the kids on the boys teams are new.[/quote]

It is very hard for a new player to make the girls teams unless it’s for their youngest year. They take back their returning players.  Loyalty is huge there, both with players returning and them taking those players.

We were warned of all this but DD went to tryouts anyway last year.  The cost was tempting.  She won’t go back again this year.   BUT we do know a couple new players that made the U14 team.  It all depends on the position and who you are trying out against.  That is true for any team.  [/quote]
