That's a great attitude, and you can do that and not be concerned with any of this if you play Rec or play whatever club is near you and you get onto, without worrying about the quality of the coaching, players, or ranks.

But those whose girls are taking volleyball very seriously, either just because they enjoy it and want the best training and competition experiences they can get, or those who care even more and hope to be D1, D2 or D3 players, then ALL of these details are important.  How deeply you did into the actual data (vs. asking here or asking around your local parent community) is up to each family, but yes, all of this matters if you're serious about volleyball.[/quote]

Also, what is written here stays visible for a long time. This all started from a PP comments on the relative comparison of Metro regionals.  A poster responded back shouting "MISinformation" and "line is usually out the door" and "players offered a spot take it on the spot" statements.  They also used regional rankings to try and prove their point which others pointed out was actual misleading info.  You'll notice that poster and their supporters who posted just minutes after the initial response  seem to have disappeared as other posters shared the facts.

The original poster probably should have said "some players" to soften their Metro Central comment about offers, but the rest of it ended up being accurate and verified by data. Even that softened comment is a backed up by the fact makeup tryouts for U15 & U17 ages were held right up against the decision deadline, making it highly likely that at least some players who received offers at those tryouts either didn't have offers or were trying to upgrade from lower offers at other clubs.[/quote]

You're funny, and also wrong about some of this. I was the MISinformation poster, and while I now see it matters which data set you're using, I did not post any data at all. So to say I used the regional rankings to justify my comment, no, I used what I knew from the years I cared about rankings in choosing teams, and from my knowledge of some specific teams' rankings.  But I didn't cite any rankings or post any so no, wasn't me, so maybe don't be quite so sure of your own assumptions.[/quote]
