I believe the following teams will win in their age bracket but good luck to all the teams.

* 13 = Metro 13 Travel
* 14 = Paramount 14 Jaz
* 15 = VA Juniors 15 Elite
* 16 = Paramount 16 Maureen
* 17 = Paramount 17 Nick

I don't know enough about the younger age groups to make an informed forecast, but I am comfortable predicting that if if turns out that Paramount wins 3 or 4 age groups there will be some social media posts about being the CHRVA club with the most National bids

I still believe with continued hard work and a little luck of the draw, the following Paramount teams will make 'open' bids.

- Paramount 14 #1
- Paramount 15 #1
- Paramount 17 #1

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.

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%.

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.

That's an odd rumor. They haven't been playing the injured players.

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?

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?

Maybe bc the owners of paramount bash kids and families that chose to leave and go to other clubs. I’ve been told straight from the impacted parents- that Maureen calls/bashes other kids to college coaches that left her club to not recruit them. There are atleast 5 schools that I k ow refuse to recruit from paramount. You may choose not want to believe the rumors and that’s up to you but hopefully others will.

And yes… players are forced to play injured in some instances. Honestly open your eyes that club messes girls up mentally.

That could not be further from the truth. That is actually what Metro does.

Yet another thread turned into Metro vs Paramount. But what should we expect?

LOL. To be fair, the most significant developments in CHRVA teams earning USAV bids over the past few weeks has been Metro teams earning bids, but with bid regionals coming up maybe there will be some more interesting storylines this coming weekend. Paramount teams (particularly the 17s who should get an open bid) seemingly struggling due to injuries is relevant, but that discussion took a hard left turn with accusations of Paramount forcing injured players to play when they shouldn't be.

Let's squash the drama and raise the support for all the clubs in this region to turn CHRVA into a powerhouse in the nation....!!!!!!

Maureen doesn't even handle the recruiting for Paramount. Shows how much you know. More salacious lies from the rumor mill.

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.

Teams with Open bids are not permitted to play at regionals.
