[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw an Instagram post about Metro 15-17 National.  What is this all about? Are they expanding to have 2 travel teams for 15-17?[/quote]
Looks like Metro is adding 11-1, 15-2, 16-2, and 17-2 teams, and Paramount is planning to add 14-3 and 15-3 teams. Should be a lot of movement among the clubs?

I thought Metro North teams are basically Metro second teams, but maybe these "National" team will go to more qualifiers.[/quote]

I think I know where we will see the MOCO-1 players during the next season. Probably some of the MVSA-1 players as well. [/quote]

Given how good both the MVSA and MOCO 1s team were at U13 & U14, I wouldn't be so sure. Paramount adding 3s teams shouldn't have any impact at all on MVSA or MOCO 1s. Those who do leave for a lower level Paramount team probably do so because they don't get a 1s offer from either of those clubs.

For U15-U17 Metro adding 2s teams may cause some movement but it will probably pull players from MDJRS, VAJRS, VA Elite and Columbia and Metro North even more than MVSA or MOCO.

Last Season Results for U13/U14 for those clubs:
13s - MOCO 13-1 earned a bid, beating Paramount 13-2s to get it. MVSA finished tied for 5th with Paramount 14-2s, with 1 more win in the bid tournament, neither got a bid. I don't think MVSA and Paramount 14-2s played each other. MD Juniors finished 5th at bids, VA Juniors finished last at bids. VA Elite and Columbia didn't get into bids. Hard to believe that a MD JRS, MOCO, or MVSA player would leave the 1s team to play on a Paramount 3s (or even 2s).  Could happen with VA Elite though given they are closer to Paramount, but probably not with Columbia given the long drive.

14s - MD JRS 14-1 was arguably the best team in the region, although they did lose to Metro in a great match at bids. They double qualified for USAV and finished 3rd in AAU nationals. VA Juniors earned a bid finishing 4th, beating Paramount 14-2 head to head. MVSA 14-1 and Paramount 14-2s both earned bids even though they finished 7th because the region had extra bids from trickle down and reallocations.  MVSA didn't play Paramount head to head. VA Elite finished last at bids. MOCO played Paramount 14-2 at a regional tournament and beat them, but MOCO didn't try for a CHRVA bid - they went to AAU and finished 33rd. Columbia wasn't even close to getting into bids. Again, hard to believe MD JRS, MVSA or MOCO players on the 1s jump to Paramount 3s (or even 2s).  In AES, VA Elite was ~600 ranks below the next closest bid team and Columbia was ~1400 ranks lower, despite both of them having some athletic players, so you might see some movement there.[/quote]
