[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think there will be additional rounds of tryouts after tonight’s 10pm acceptance deadline. [/quote]

I agree. For those that are new to club volleyball in the CHRVA region, tryouts used to be spread out over the first 2 weekends in November with the younger age groups happening the first weekend and the older age groups the second.  I'm guessing clubs are struggling to manage filling all of their teams at one time and will probably still be looking to finalize rosters for several days and probably even into the weekend.

Regarding getting later offers meaning your DD will be a "roster filler", that might be true at a few clubs (usually the more competitive ones), but I don't think that is universal. Some clubs make an effort to get players into every match (e.g., MVSA) and if a team is on the less competitive side with less experienced players, it's not at all uncommon for starting lineups to shift throughout the season as players improve at different rates.[/quote]

NP here. Your post is misleading. In prior years, any certain age group had one weekend, it wasn’t spread out for all age groups over 2 weekends. So last year we were U15 and those tryouts were over the same weekend from Friday to Sunday. There weren’t tryouts for U15 spread out over 2 weekends.

My DD is now U16 and that year just seems to be on steroids with 100+ girls showing up for a club that only has 1-2 teams in U16. And you’re not necessarily seeing the same group at different club tryouts, meaning there are just SO many girls in the DMV in U16 that want to play club. I find it just impossible that any club can’t find 12-15 girls to fill a roster with the insane number of girls that were trying out. [/quote]

How is it misleading?  The post said "tryouts used to be spread out over the first 2 weekends in November with the younger age groups happening the first weekend and the older age groups the second."  I think you're right that the dividing line was 12, 13, and 14 were the first weekend and 15, 16, 17, and 18 were the second.[/quote]
