I think it all depends on the club. For lower and mid clubs like Vienna Elite second and third teams will not preselect. For first teams maybe a few.
Same with mojo pink teams, Loudoun elite, etc. The preselect comes in play with top teams like Metro Travel, Paramount, and VA Juniors.  [/quote]

I wouldn’t consider Vienna Elite a “lower or mid club.” Their 1s teams are quite competitive. [/quote]

They’re precisely a Midtier club in my view[/quote]

What else is considered “Midtier” vs “lower” club? I don’t agree with this categorization either. [/quote]

Simplest way to explain the hierarchy:

Metro Travel and Paramount

Competitive, but not Metro Travel/Paramount: VAE, VAJrs., MDJrs, Blue Ridge, MVSA (good at younger age groups)

Mid-Tier: EC Power (MOJO now, I guess), MOCO, Vienna Elite, and several others

Low-Tier: anybody not named above

Anybody else not named above would be considered low tier

You're just adding to the confusion though if you don't clarify that you're talking Travel teams for ALL of these "categorizations".  There are SO MANY parents on these volleyball threads that are just looking for their daughters to play for a club (regional, NOT travel) and get experience, get better, see how intense they want to get with playing.

Even if there are not always clear lines between "Club", "Regional", and Travel, you still have to be clear as you can about who YOU are talking about.  Majority of newer families are NOT trying to jump into the deepest end of the pool right away with travel, plus it's highly unlikely their newer player will be asked unless they're super tall.[/quote]
