If those players have been developed at other clubs and are already such standouts, why aren't the teams they are coming from getting open bids? And you mean to tell me that the 2's teams at Paramount that are getting bids to Nationals are standout players from other clubs?[/quote]
Getting an open bid is hard, agreed. And yes, it takes very good coaching to get one of those bids. Winning a regional bid is a little less hard but still a great accomplishment. And it requires good coaching too.

But all that can be true and your success can also rely on taking players from other clubs.  Its not an either or. Its an AND. That was the poster's argument.

The reason other top clubs aren't fighting for open bids is because a lot of them have other priorities.  All of them want to win, but most of them won't sacrifice player development and culture to do so. Sometimes they get a coach who is capable of coaching open level, but they find out quickly that the coaches approach and behavior doesn't fit their culture and they let them go.  Other clubs are more focused on getting more players on the court, and some just don't want to deal with the types of families and players that see open level volleyball as the only measure of a teams success.

Can you imagine what could happen if MVSA pursued the same approach as Paramount? The coaching is there, even without a lot of college commits. They have a consistent track record of bids. At 1/4th the cost families would be lining up to get on one of their teams. But to do that they would need to cut most of their players, recruit heavily and probably raise prices.  They choose not to.  But that doesn't mean they couldn't do it if they wanted to.
