[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New pricing on website. Especially for lower ages need to consider coaching quality (excellent with RVA), and playing time at tournaments also likely more focused on player development as compared to club
stats with RVA compared to “nationally-ranked” clubs (quotation marks because… [b]why does it matter if 10/12/14 are placing nationally[/b]… 🤷‍♀️)[/quote]

I will attempt to answer the rhetorical question. A team ranks poorly when it is not competitive in the tournaments where it is placed. You can claim that the coaching is excellent, but it is hard to prove when the team keeps losing its games. That simply demonstrates that the the coaching is excellent, but for the opposing teams. Placing teams in high-level tournaments may have benefits: the players can see how the game is played at a higher level, and they are challenged to grow. However, losing game after game after game can be frustrating and demoralizing for both players and parents. On the opposite side of the spectrum, you can place the teams in easy tournaments, where every serve is an ace and you bring home the medals. This approach comes with a good feeling, but it is a complete waste of time and money because players are not being properly challenged. Ideally you would find the happy middle ground, where players are challenged at their level, they win some of their games, and they feel like they have a good experience even when they lose. A poor ranking shows either that the teams are not competitive (poor training / coaching), poor choice of tournaments (poor administrative decisions), or both. [/quote]

Thank you for this response, it is actually helpful as opposed to the hens on this thread [/quote]

You are welcome. I am pretty sure that you would call me a hen if you could identify all my posts, but I am happy that you found this helpful. [/quote]
