[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]Is there any reasoning for Blue Ridge sending teams to a qualifier if the teams were not going to accept any GJNC bids?  I hope the players and parents were well aware that no earned bids would be accepted as early as possible.  I understand that the club may be more focused on beach volleyball, but I'd like to think that they have some players that would benefit from playing in front of recruiters in Las Vegas.[/quote]

Blue Ridge has only had 1 indoor Division 1 commitment in their entire existence as a club. They (and their players/families) clearly do not care about them playing indoor D1 volleyball (they also don’t play in Open at qualifiers). Their focus just seems to be on beach recruiting (I think they’ve had 5-6 beach D1 commits).[/quote]

The focus on beach volleyball has been the rationale that I have heard, but their indoor teams do play in summer tournaments. I see they have teams registered for AAU Nationals at the end of June in Orlando. Blue Ridge teams did play at regionals last season and several teams went to USAV GJNC in Chicago although they did not play in regionals this year. With the USAV GJNC being in Las Vegas this season for the age groups 14-17, perhaps they just prefer to go to Orlando for AAU. Also, 2 seasons ago the Blue Ridge 15s (now the current 17s) made it all the way to the finals of the 15 Premier division at AAU Nationals coming in 2nd place which was a pretty great finish.[/quote]
