[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]Am I correctly seeing some Blue Ridge teams accepted to next weekend's CHRVA Bid Regionals?  That's new (for this iiyear, at least).

Metro 18s may have earned an Open bid today by making Gold bracket at NEQ.  If confirmed, their National division bid will flow to VAJRS 18s, and so on.  Other CHRVA teams are in Gold at NEQ and MEQ, but I don't know if anyone else has locked in a bid.[/quote]
Metro 18s did get their open bid They made gold bracket and 5 of the 8 teams in gold already have an open bid, so the remaining 3 teams (which includes 18’Travel) earned bids.

Metro 17 Travel beat Paramount 17s for the second week in a row on Saturday. It was a really tight 3-set match. Paramount 17s seem to be struggling with injuries, with some players clearly playing at less than 100%. [/quote]
I heard Paramount players are expected to play through injuries. To what extent is this true? I hesitated sending my daughter there for fear of damaging her play career or getting her burned out.[/quote]

That's an odd rumor. They haven't been playing the injured players. [/quote]
I read a poster saying, “Paramount 17s seem to be struggling with injuries, with some players clearly playing at less than 100%.” So I take it that injured players have to still play. Is this not true?[/quote]

One player was dealing with an injury and did not play this weekend. Another player just came back from an injury, so they are not back at 100% performance yet (even though they are medically cleared to play). That player was cleared to play earlier than this past weekend and wanted to play, but the coach did not allow her to play, despite her being one of the stronger players on the team. So whoever is making up the rumor that Paramount players are forced to play through injuries by the coaching staff could not be more wrong. Makes me wonder why people feel the need to say such salacious things about a club or person?[/quote]
While volleyball is a relatively safe sport, injuries happen. Like other sports, many players have a strong desire to play and will want to play through an injury or return to play as quickly as possible, sometimes before they are 100% healed. Hopefully they are making these decisions as it relates to more serious injuries with advice from medical professionals and in consultation with their parents, but yes, it's pretty typical for players to compete at less than 100%. Many players are bruised and sore for much of the season - that's sometimes part of being an athlete. It's certainly not unusual to see players with taped ankles and k-tape on their knees or shoulders, wearing braces, and other evidence of injuries.

Obviously players should not be competing if doing so puts their health at risk and I would have an issue if a club was pushing a player to return against a doctor's medical advice, but playing with minor issues or while still recovering is pretty normal.
