From my observations, my kid is not at MoCo, everyone gets playing time on the level 2 team.


Their level 1 team is comparable to most level 2 teams. Moco usually gets the leftovers form the other clubs. It's not anyone's first choice


Don’t be mean, MOCO was the first choice for at least 5 girls my DD knows. I think the 16-1s last year was good.


We joined a MOCO 1s team last year after playing a few seasons for the 1 team at some other teams mentioned on this board, and were glad we made the switch. Our experience was that the 1s travel team was competitive with an AES ranking in the top 10 teams the entire season for their age group. We found the coaching to be excellent, our DD skills improved greatly and the culture very positive. Mean girls aren't tolerated. My gut is MOCO is on an upward trend. Last year their 16, 13 and 12 teams were very competitive. Folks are noticing. There's strong talent showing up at clinics and many players are placing it as their #1 choice this weekend. Worth giving it a fresh look.

That's not true in our experience. Last year DD was on a 1s team at a club that plays open, attends qualifiers and always competes for a CHRVA bid. We played their 1s teams in multiple tournaments and we thought they were good. DD wanted to check them out this year and went to their pre-tryout clinics this fall and they were very competitive in the upper level sessions. The gym was full and the players definitely weren't "leftovers" from other clubs, DD liked it.

I wasn’t able to either, so I just printed out.

+1. Lol. PP here and totally. One setter in the U15 group was yelling so loudly the other girls were cringing. My kid is a solid player and she left that clinic shaking her head. There was also an OH just standing there making the rest of the group look bad when the other girls were hustling their butts off. I just hope the coaches will do a better job this weekend….

We went to the invites for ECP and Mojo (which was a joke). But did it not get one for Renaissance. So not sure if they had any.


What happened at Mojo?


What's going on with Mojo? Why do people feel it's "a joke"?


Not the PP but we were at a mojo pre tryout clinic and It was literally 100 girls U15-18 in a packed gym with barely any room to play let alone showcase their skills. Clearly a money grab. Some girls were screaming so loudly just to make themselves known it was obnoxious.

Generally everyone plays. Like all club teams they usually have a starting lineup, but they tend to do a pretty good job of getting everyone on the court during tournaments. If want to be sure, a PP had a good idea to ask for a stat report for the team from the last season. Also, ask the club for their playing time policy -- most clubs have one for each level of team. Compare the stat report with the club policy and you should have the info you need.
