[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anybody heard what is happening at Metro with their Travel coaching staff in regards to who is coaching which age group? I've heard they are losing their U17 coach. I've also heard their U18 team is falling apart; they are apparently losing 4 of their top 5 players (one setter, their superstar OH, their best MB, and their best RS). What is going on there? [/quote]

Metro 18s is not falling apart.  Players are taking the opportunity to leave for college early to train which is common with many of the top players in the country.  Coach Silvia (club director) typically coaches the 18s and she always find players that want to compete at the top level.  Not sure if she will rely on her previous bench players to step up or try to recruit from other clubs?

Going to be an interesting club tryouts this year with all age groups trying out at the same time!  Good luck everyone.[/quote]

It is 100% true that it is becoming more common for players to leave early for college. However, in this specific situation, those who are in the know are aware that these 3 players are leaving early for reasons other than wanting to get a head start in college.[/quote]

When players leave early, if the early tuition is covered.......that is a huge savings not paying for club and getting excellent training and bonding with new teammates.  The player does miss out on 2nd half of Senior year:(.  Some early leave players do come back for Prom.

What other reason to leave club early?  I assume its club drama![/quote]

It's not drama - the ones leaving are big stars with college commitments to power programs locked up and nothing left to prove at the club level - one of them spent the summer as captain of the gold medal-winning USA U19 team. Why not get a jump on training at a higher level? Happens in football all the time, and volleyball is the same season.[/quote]
