[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP and also a new club VB family. My DD was at the MD Jrs tournament last weekend and she was wondering the same thing:  why was the Mojo Black (travel/open) team playing against her Metro regional team? It did seem a little odd.  They had a seeding round first and then bracket play. Of course the travel teams there (Mojo, Legacy, etc) made it to the gold bracket rounds. DD did watch several games and saw the 2s teams (Paramount) or Metro regional teams win sets against those Mojo and Legacy travel teams. But it was definitely odd to see Mojo Black there when they also have a Mojo Pink regional level team that should have been there instead.

I assume Legacy as a new club is entering below their supposed division level so they can pump up their social media with medal brag photos against lower division teams. Frankly the Legacy team wasn’t that great considering all the hype on social (strong defense but weaker on offense). Same for Mojo black - opposite issue, strong hitters but weaker back row. Both are def going to get killed at the bid tournaments when they have to face other true open level teams. I guess it’s the optics.[/quote]

There are very few real open level teams. Many in the area advertise as open for tryouts but they aren’t.  My daughter is on one at a different club.  The truth is, girls go to all of these tryouts and the vast majority accept where they can get a spot.  Tryouts were brutal this year.  These aren’t open level clubs, expect for a few.  My DD is also on an “open” (regional) level club.  That’s the only spot she was offered.  [/quote]
