[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ISO recommendations for a NoVA club that’s more competitive than MetroSouth/VaVa/NoPanic/Monument/vienna but less intense than paramount and metro travel. DD is 15 and interested in college recruiting. Not a fan of Mojo. But if we have to travel and play in multi day tournaments in PA, FL, GA, etc it’d be nice to win a few medals.[/quote] Has she played club in prior seasons? While there are plenty of girls who start playing club at 15s (often after playing on a HS team and the coach tells them they should be playing club), breaking into a more competitive team at 15s can be tough. Unless she's really tall or can touch over 10' - then ignore everything I said.[/quote] 15:33. Thank you for the solid feedback. Yes DD has played HS and played club for two seasons in one of the clubs mentioned in the original post. Since she’s played for the same club (we chose it based on location convenience and familiarity) she has not considered others until now. Current club doesn’t focus on coaching the girls with advanced technique and strategies to improve to next level- many of the coaches have never played themselves. [b]DD recently attended a clinic at another club[/b] and it was completely different experience from her entire season - the coaches were actually forcing the girls to work hard, showing them what to do with demos, had them getting on the floor to pass and jump up, created a serving box with rope over the net for the girls to hit the sweet spot for serves, specifically training them on top spin serving, float serves, etc, timing the speed of their serves with a speed gun. It was a totally different experience rather than “let’s see who can reliably get their serve over the net.” Make sense? She likely has a roster spot in the current club (nothing is ever guaranteed!) but she’s looking to step up to a more competitive experience. It was frustrating for her (and us!) to travel to multi-day tournaments over long holiday weekends, miss school and work, only to have teammates repeatedly serving into the net and making error after error bc some had never played volleyball before and weren’t learning or being coached. And this was supposed to be the 1s team. So, I guess if she wants to commit to the experience again, she wants it to be more worthwhile and feel like she’s playing at the same level. [/quote] Are you willing to share the name of this new club?[/quote]
