[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow big verbal commitments from metro 2026 year already?! My daughter is not from metro but I’m definitely seeing the recruiting power they have over other clubs. My daughter is not tall enough to join that club but was hoping to find something that can help her with her volleyball journey. We are still new to the area. [/quote]

Metro has a lot of very talented 2026 players so 16 Travel has gotten a lot of attention from college coaches. The 3-4 really tall/athletic/skilled players that coaches were coming to watch may have resulted in some of the other players on that team getting more looks than they might have on another team, even if they are not a starter or don't play much for Metro. They had tons of big time coaches coming to watch them practice so the whole team got exposure beyond tournaments.

Not sure how tall your daughter is, but one of the outside hitters that committed from 16 Travel to a top 25 program isn't even 6 feet tall. She is incredibly explosive and athletic so she makes up for the lack of height. Being 6'2" isn't always a prerequisite to success in volleyball.  Arkansas was led to the Elite 8 in the 2023 NCAA tournament by Jill Gillen, a 5'7" outside hitter.

If you think your daughter is super talented at volleyball, don't assume she can't do big things just because she's not really tall.[/quote]
