[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would consider forgoing CHRVA and really looking between rec and club. That would mean following the setup of Fairfax County Youth Travel (or Select) Basketball or Flagstar Football Elite or maybe one of the club soccer’s developmental leagues (in Arlington, that’s ADP). These are tryout-based teams that play other teams, all within the same umbrella. In FCYBL, they are zip code based and in Flagstar, they are loosely neighborhood based. ADP has enough kids to field 4-6 ADP teams between rec and travel for each age group! It’s basically pool play each weekend with a tourney at the end. [/quote]

Thank you for these suggestions. I was thinking CHRVA to give individual teams the option to sign up for the tournaments of their choice. Assuming that this idea takes off, it is not clear how many teams would participate in the first year. It would get boring to play the same 2-3 teams over and over again during one season. I saw some enthusiasm on this thread, but it doesn't seem sufficient to push it to the next level, so I am reluctant to move forward. Some people are reluctant (and understandably so) - they are likely waiting to see what happens before committing to something new. The option to completely forgo CHRVA could come later, when / if there are plenty of local teams that can compete with each other without games looking too repetitive. Zip code / neighborhood based teams would not work well for volleyball because the socio-economic status affects the access to this sport. I feel like a project like this would change the balance, but this would only show results in long term. [/quote]
