[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a depressing thread.[/quote] I totally understand where you’re coming from. All of the info on this thread is helpful, but it can be very overwhelming, and yes, depressing, at times. If your daughter is more interested in finding a fun opportunity to play a great sport, but significant time and money commitment aren’t the right fit, and she’s also not super tall, I’d recommend exploring regional clubs that don’t focus on how many college committed players they have on their club and whether they go to Nationals. Or, check out bigger clubs that have National and Regional teams. One way to spot how hyper competitive a team is to look at the team’s tournament schedule which is likely already posted. If the team travels often to multi day tournaments outside the mid-Atlantic, that’s a team that’s going to likely be a more hyper competitive environment. Many of these clubs have been mentioned already, some with both fans and detractors. These are big clubs with regional teams, to name a few: Maryland: MOCO, MVSA, Md Jrs, and I’m sure there are others. Virginia: Mojo and BRYC. BRYC is a smaller club, but it’s not for profit, which is nice. Also, I believe that the St. James and Vienna Elite in Virginia still field more than one team at each age group. As mentioned before, Metro has regional times all over the DMV. These are regional teams, not to be confused with Metro Travel. And there are many more. I hope this was helpful. [/quote]
