Based on our experience, not doing the fall training with MOCO reduces your chances of making a team. Participation in the fall training might show some sort of commitment to the club. But that's not all: they get to know the players during the fall training program and they give the participants additional rope. We know one player who was offered a spot on a MOCO team, even though she could not show up at the tryouts (because of an injury). The offer was based entirely on her participation at the fall training. [/quote]

That's just not fair.[/quote]
Not sure if the injured player had played for MOCO in a prior season, but picking teams is a difficult balancing act for the clubs. Most clubs generally have some loyalty to players who played for them in the prior season and that makes sense. Starting the season with a core group that has played together before is definitely an advantage. But it’s also a good idea to add new players to the team, hopefully to help the overall team improve. But that can lead to situations where players who played for a club for one or more seasons don’t get offers which is a difficult thing to do.

The important thing for parents and prospective players to know that every season is not empty roster that is picked solely on how a player performs at tryouts. Returners, players a club has gotten to know through clinics or high school volleyball, and other factors are all as important (if not more) than what happens at tryouts. So have a few options for potential clubs and make an effort to have your DD get to know those clubs (and vice versa) before tryouts.
