That is one hell of a good question. Lol.

Why is this in private school forum?

My daughter played club for five years, in addition to playing JV for one year and varsity for three at her local public HS. She's off to college (tomorrow — yipes!) to play Division III for her top-choice school. There is no question that volleyball played a role in her college search, entirely to her advantage.

I'd be happy to chat further if you'd like — see the address below. If not, best of luck with your daughter. It's a fantastic sport!

Could you ask some of the families of kids on your daughter's current VB school team?

The most popular volleyball club in DC is Metro Volleyball Club.

It depends on where you live. There are a lot of volleyball clubs in the DC area.
