Does ANYONE know ANYTHING about tryouts for this program this year? I e-mailed the person in charge a couple of weeks ago and got an e-mail back saying they
would post tryouts "this weekend, as soon as Lonestar is settled." Well, Lonestar is now not only settled, it is over, yet there is still no
information up. Surely one of the biggest regions in the country is not going to blow off High Performance this year?

surely the "leadership" of the Lone Star Region would not let that happen...
Life is tough... even tougher if you are stupid!

I e-mailed the person in charge ...I am not sure who you mailed, but if it was the folks who purport to run the Region, then you are likely barking up the wrong tree. My kiddo has participated in LSHP each of the last two years, and in *BOTH* of those years the Regional leadership did nothing.... in those years, the LSHP program was put together by Austin Juniors on behalf of the region. I don't want to slight Texas Tornados here because I think they also hosted and ran some of the tryouts, but I am dead certain that AJV actually organized the whole topic. It is a sad state of affairs that one of the largest regions, with presumably one of the largest budgets, cannot find a way to actually organize a regional HP team. I can categorically tell you that if AJV had not organized it the last two years, it would not have happened. I can further tell you that virtually every other region provided gear (uniforms, etc.) for the HP teams... and I know that two years ago, AJV paid that bill out of their own pocket. Anyway, late night rant.. bottom line.. don't waste emails on the Regional leadership...and you should hope that AJV has the time and staff to make it happen once again. |

The North Texas region has not posted anything on HP this year either.
It may be a $$ thing? There was a meeting note in the NT Oct board meeting that there was still a 5K deficit. I didn't see HP mentioned in the March 3 NT Board meeting notes - not a good sign??? http://www.ntrvolleyball.org/100107minutes.pdf Or perhaps they are still trying to find coaches for the teams and camp. I know the coaches, the cost, and tournament dates are the first things I review. I also sent an inquiring email to the NT region a couple of months ago and I did not receive a reply - so getting a reply is at least a movement in the right direction! Point for LS region!

According to the USAV site, there should have been HP Tryouts on the Thursday nights preceding Lone Star in Dallas and Houston. I remember seeing girls with
tryout numbers on in Houston on the 10th. If that wasn't HP tryouts, then what were they doing?
Fun? You mean Volleyball is supposed to be fun??

At the February 21st North Texas Region Board of Directors meeting, the decision was made to not have a regional High Performance team or camp this year. The
minutes are on the region's website.

Thanks for the clarification. Re: NTR deciding not have regional teams this year...perhaps the LSR made the same decision and noone knows?

I believe in the past the tryouts for LSHP have been the weekend of the Region Tournament and are handled similarly to the USAV HP tryouts at National
Qualifiers - with the tryouts the night before the tournament start. If I remember correctly, last year notice wasn't posted until a week or two before
the tournament.
