My daughter is one of the top players in her age group and she will not be playing for Metro or Paramount despite being recruited by both.  The blunt and honest reason why:  Metro practice is too far, Paramount coaching style is not what we want for our DD, nor does she.

Can you say something more about "Paramount coaching style"? We are new to club volleyball and would appreciate anything you can share about the clubs around here.[/quote]
If you are new to club volleyball, you should not worry too much about Paramount - your DD is unlikely to make one of their teams. There are always exceptions, but they are rare. Consider Paramount if your DD is very young or very tall and athletic. [/quote]
How do you know my DD is not very young, very tall, or very athletic?[/quote]
Parents who are new to volleyball (and probably other sports as well) tend to be clueless about their kids' skills and abilities. I've been there myself and made pretty poor decisions early on. I am still making poor decisions, but now I know for sure that my DD doesn't have any chance of playing for Metro or Paramount. And MVSA. And I could add a few more on the list, but I will stop here.

Yep, same.  And after a couple of years I realize that my very athletic daughter will always be limited by her height. Because although she is very athletic, she is short and that’s something she can’t control.  We made some poor decisions and she almost ended up without any club last year at all.  You need to have realistic expectations as they get older and understand there are hundreds who are just as athletic, if not more, than your kid and maybe taller.  [/quote]
