Congrats to Metro for winning the 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 bid regionals! The best players all want to play for Metro. This season, two players moved from MOCO 14-1 to Metro 14 Travel, and MOCO 14-1 did not even qualify for the bid regional.

Paramount 14-1 has 15 players, and it was impressive to see 9 players on the sideline. 14-year-old players are still developing—they should be playing, not standing on the sidelines. MD Juniors put together a great 14U team, but their other teams are not as great.

It feels like this region is increasingly becoming a "top-two-winners-take-all" scenario, and the other teams are playing for the third place.

Is this good for the region? Comments?[/quote]
I don’t think this is something new for CHRVA - Metro has been able to attract most of the best players in every age group to their Travel teams for a long time. I think this might be the first time in while that they swept regionals like that (although 18 Travel lost to Paramount in the quarterfinals of 18 bid regionals earlier in March before they got their open bid). In prior years, usually another team will upset Metro at regionals at one or two of the age groups.

The reality is that Metro is still top dog in CHRVA. Paramount has firmly established themselves as second best, and at certain age groups there are strong teams from other clubs (Blue Ridge, VA Elite, MDJRs, etc).

Taking 15 kids on a roster is probably not great for the region, but if you are the parent of a high potential player who aspires to play in college and your DD is offered the 14th or 15th roster spot on a Metro Travel team, it’s understandable why you’d consider it. Metro consistently sends their entire 18 Travel roster to play in college, frequently all in Division I. They posted on Instagram a couple weeks ago that 18 Travel was all committed to D1. Of course there are other CHRVA players that are committed to play D1 volleyball, but the largest number come from Metro every year.

I do think with the popularity of volleyball on the rise, there are going to be too many talented players for Metro to take them all and hopefully other CHRVA clubs will get stronger. If there are other clubs that are consistently getting open bids and who’s players are sought after by D1 college programs, then those talented players who choose to sit on the bench at Metro, will likely choose one of these other clubs.
