[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That a ton of DMV teams are driving down to Richmond to play at Volleyball By the James in January. Last year most of the teams we played were from this area. Why? Seems like a great opportunity for someone to put on a decent local tournament if the real competition down there is going to be ourselves. 2nd - # of tournaments are variable and don’t seem to tie to the club fees. 3rd the quality of some of the tournaments attended by some clubs is on the lower end. AAU or rankings chasers? 4th - ur doing the lords work with this. [/quote]
I think a lot of CHRVA clubs like the Richmond tournament because it’s an overnight tournament that is relatively easy to get to and on a 3 day weekend (unlike many qualifiers that require missing school). The other multi day tournaments that CHRVA teams have traditionally gone to that weekend are the one at Spooky Nook in Lancaster, City of Oaks in Raleigh, and JVA Rock n Rumble in Cleveland.

I suppose there might be an opportunity to have something local to attract some teams, but getting enough teams to commit to something new to make it financially viable might be tough. Perhaps the St James could host something but they already do their St Patrick’s Day AAU tournament.

The level of competition at a given tournament can vary from year to year. Metro Travel teams used to go to Rock n Rumble every year but the level of teams really dropped off a few years ago and last year they went to City of Oaks instead and that’s what they’re doing this year. [/quote]
