[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Bethesda, she will be attending BCC, Whitman, or Walter Johnson. These are all good high school teams.

Next week, her high school coaches will evaluate her during tryouts.

[b]If she makes varsity as a freshman, she should attend Metro and Paramount clinics in the fall, as she may have great potential and could make the MVSA or MOCO first teams.[/b]

If she makes JV, she may make the MVSA or MOCO second or third teams, and she should try to attend MOCO's Club Prep Sessions for example:
https://www.mocovc.org/clubprep

If she doesn't make JV, MEVC, Platform, and Academy may be her most realistic options. She should try to attend fall clinics by these clubs. I believe MEVC and Platform have 2 and 3 15U teams respectively, and Academy has 1.[/quote]

This entire post is completely hilarious, especially the bolded part. You forgot to mention that she should try out for Metro if she is a starter on Varsity. You do realize that the Bethesda area is full of MVSA, MOCO, Platform, and MEVC players, right? Do you believe that a freshmen with no club experience will make the varsity team? This is the type of advice that gets people's hopes high, just to crash during tryouts.

Even the advice conditional on the acceptance in the JV team is out of whack. You can be a starter on the JV team and not be able to make MVSA or MOCO. If you make it to the JV team because [b]they need a few bench warmers after they ran out of club players[/b] who are trying out, then you are clearly not going to make MOCO or MVSA. [/quote]
By 8/8, Walter Johnson has 72 people registered for girls volleyball.

The registration ends on 8/11.

Do you think the Walter Johnson JV team will "need a few bench warmers after they ran out of club players"?[/quote]

Hi neighbor!  Is your daughter a returning player or an incoming 9th grader?  I’m only aware of about a half dozen or so incoming 9th graders that play club.  [/quote]

Are you saying that 08/10/2025 16:14 was correct?[/quote]
