[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, you’d need to know how many 18s teams there are in CHRVA (62), and roughly how many of those are in the DMV (~30).  70+ commits is 20%, the final number is probably somewhere around 30%-40%, its higher if you add in players playing club volleyball in college.  30% is plenty for some clubs to focus on college recruiting as a primary marketing tactic.  While I don’t agree with never ending stream of social media posts about it—especially when a player played for other clubs for the vast majority of their club career—it is a business and there are enough players/families that want to pursue college volleyball in the region to make it possible to focus a club on it.[/quote]
Have you heard of "[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies,_damned_lies,_and_statistics]Lies, damned lies, and statistics[/url]"? Your statistics is a combination of selective bias, convenient sample size, and faulty correlations. You chose to ignore that most players stop playing before they reach the 18s age group. Have you heard of clubs with 3 teams at 14, 15, and 16 level that have trouble filling their 18s roster? I did. You are grossly underestimating of the number of volleyball players unless you purposefully define them based on how many are still playing club in the 18s teams.
