[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Monday Morning and my experienced u15 with two years of club under her belt and who went to 5 tryouts has zero offers. She’s shattered. She isn’t a rec level player. We don’t understand what happened. [/quote]
I keep telling my DD that it doesn't really matter what you do at practice, what really matters is what you do outside practice. These words of wisdom are not mine: I heard them one way or another from the mouths of experienced coaches. Club experience is irrelevant if all you do is show up at practice and tournaments. There are many players who work hard during practice, then go home and work even harder. The extra hours will eventually pay off because it will show in the way you move on the court. These are the players who really want to play volleyball and they will squeeze out those who simply show up for the social aspect (have fun with friends). All the players who are now left hanging need to understand that it will be even harder to make a team during the next season. My DD seems to have finally realized that this is the case, but I am still not sure if she is willing to put in the effort. [/quote]

DP and of this is true but my daughter is one that does put in countless hours outside of practice and private lessons because she loves it.  What became glaringly obvious this year was that her height will always be a barrier.  She can go to as many clinics as possible but the tallest girls will get picked.  There are too many trying out and too many that are good.  [/quote]
