[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]For NoVA (RE: 09/23/2024 13:55), would you consider Blue Ridge, VA Juniors, The St. James, BRYC, the new Legacy VBA, or American?  Check out their proposed schedules to understand the potential travel commitments ... as well as their practice locations.  I cannot speak for winning, but they all could potentially be more competitive than the clubs you listed.  I also do not know if Paramount will have a second team in some age groups as they had last year.

FWIW, look at the 2023-24 rankings from last season: https://advancedeventsystems.com/rankings/Female/U14/aes (have to change the season).  Should give you a sense of how last year's 14s teams performed.[/quote]

If you are interested in recruiting, also switch the AES rankings to national ranks.  That's a better indication of how the team does at travel and large tournaments, which is where the college coaches usually are.

The rankings aren't prefect--its still possible to be ranked well nationally and only compete in local tournaments.  For example, there are teams that win most of their local matches and lose most of their non-region matches.  That's usually because they aren't playing the top CHRVA teams in the region.  Its also possible for a very good team that competes in upper levels of competition to rank lower than a team that usually competes in club, even if they both do a lot of travel tournaments.  If you want to balance winning, recruiting and intensity, then look for teams that have a decent record nationally and good locally.

Another club to consider in NOVA that may meet your criteria is Libero.  Unfortunately, in NOVA there aren't a lot of clubs that have second teams that meet your criteria, so maybe think about clubs where you have a chance to make their top team.
