you can use AES to look at the rankings of specific club teams. Look at the rankings from years past.

Club volleyball is expensive. Whatever they are charging you as fees you should add an additional 50-75% more to cover travel expenses for you and the rest of your family. The lion's share of volleyball fees pays for court time and coaches' stipends. Coaches are not making a living off these fees. Most make less that 4K/year. Court time is expensive.

Be warned, most clubs will tell you that they are "elite" or "open" level programs. They know that is what you want to hear. Who doesn't want to hear that their kid is an elite player? 10% of all the players in an age group are truly "elite" players and yet the clubs will tell you all their players are "elite". They aren't. The truly elite clubs always enter "open" level tournaments and finish in the top half. Many other clubs enter "open" level because they advertised themselves as elite and just get slaughtered. Players don't learn much in that environment. Play for a club that will help them improve and play in tournaments at the appropriate level.
