[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was poking around AES to see what teams were registered at some of the early season tournaments and noticed what appears to be another new club. Or at least one I’ve never heard of. Anyone know anything about Eclipse?

More reasonable fees than other clubs in VA, but still higher than well-established clubs in MD. I feel like they do a lot of unnecessary travel outside of the area. With the level of players they will likely get, local tournaments would be sufficient (but probably the coaches want to travel, so the players must pay up). At least they don't take their newbie teams to the qualifiers. [/quote]
Looking at the schedule, seems pretty similar to what the MVSA 1s teams do. At least everything is within driving distance.

It's interesting a new club is planning an 18s team since players who aren't continuing with volleyball in college often stop playing club to leave the second half of their senior year more free for other things. Maybe it will be more a combined 17-18s team.[/quote]

Are you going to tell me that the schedule of top MVSA teams is the standard that other clubs should follow? I would not complain if they would follow the pricing model, but... How do you justify going to the same tournaments with a rookie team? Why not follow the schedule of a regional MVSA team? Would you rather meet their top teams and get aced every other serve, or meet one of their regional team and manage to do some rallies? Some of the top MVSA teams play one age up in some tournaments because they want a better challenge than what they get at their age level. How is a rookie team in a newly formed club even comparable?
