[quote=Anonymous]The volleyball season is almost over, so it is unlikely for your DD to be included on a club team (even a bottom team). Your next shot to make a club team in in November. Practice of any kind will help your DD to become better and make a good team. Before tryouts, my DD played in rec leagues (at some point she had two rec leagues going on at the same time), she went to summer camps, and she signed up for clinics. The rec leagues became more and more frustrating because most players could not serve or serve receive. Rec clinics were not really useful because the coaches were not quite experienced. She had the most fun in camps (imagine playing 6 hours of volleyball each day for a week). The reality hit when she went to club clinics: she did not have the skills of club players (not even close). It was humbling to say the least.

If she loves volleyball and you want her to get better, sign her up for everything you can fit in her schedule without neglecting other important aspects of her life (especially school and family). Club activities are going to be more expensive than rec activities. However, you may find our experience useful when you decide what to sign her up for. It took a club coach to notice that my daughter developed some questionable habits during rec activities. For example, she was stepping on her right foot as she was serving (she is right-handed). It took her a while to re-learn how to serve. [/quote]
