[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got an email from Metro announcing their North, East, and Central rec leagues for boys and girls 8-14 ($219). The central leagues will play at Ritchie Park ES on Saturdays (Sept 14-Oct 20, 2:30-4:30 pm).

We've been to some Metro clinics and they were pretty intense. Ended up on the second court, which means we were out of our league. Never been to their leagues and the age range seems too wide. It is unclear how everything gets handled from 2:30 to 4:30 on one day of the week. [/quote]
My DD went to Metro camp last year and her feed back was the coach just toss the ball like parents, no skill taught. Completely waste of money. (Metro Travel coach there)[/quote]
If it was one of Metro’s fall clinics that are advertised for Travel, those are listed for intermediate to advanced players. While even advanced players can benefit from skills work, it’s not reasonable to expect a ton of instruction in fundamentals. Also, their position clinics tend to be more skill training and the grade level ones tend to be more game play oriented. If you’ve ever been to one of these clinics with lots of Metro Travel players, it is generally pretty obvious who has a legitimate chance of making a team and who doesn’t. Be honest with yourself as to whether your DD is ready (or capable) of playing at that level. If not, your money and time are better spent with clubs that might be a better fit. [/quote]

Do not expect to learn anything skill wise from metro camps because their coaches are not there to developing your kids. They are looking for your money as well as recruiting 6ft+ tall players or any already developed players. Skill wise did you ever see any good setters/liberos from Metro? They all rely on their tall front rows to win games. Blocking or hammer down, no good techniques. These talents just got under achieved.  If looking for skill improvement, try vajrs/vaelite/paramount/mdjrs/cva/moco etc.[/quote]
Totally agree but I think you should add blue ridge to the list with good skill training [/quote]
