Why should a team be allowed to "hold" an American Bid as a " well, if all else fails we can always play in American (ewwww!)" card. As it is, we already have girls who tryout for a team, parents pay a deposit to hold a spot, then they tryout somewhere else, knowing they at least have the original spot. At what point do we teach them, you can't have it all. If you are not satisfied with an American bid, I have no problem whatsoever with that. Just say thank you, but we would like to try and qualify for the National Division, so please give our bid to the next team in order of finish. My guess is that 9 times out of 10 that next team will be *thrilled* to accept and compete in that division at JO's. Again IMHO

Plus, their 13s team is a heavy favorite to win the top 13s division (National). Not affiliated with them, but I'd have to say they've been one of the best (if not the best) top to bottom in So. Cal this year. They must have some type of monopoly on talent in the San Diego area. Very impressive.

I think Vision has the highest so far with 79% of their teams going to be in attendance in Dallas this year. That is great! Is there a club with a higher percentage than that? Daisy

However, both CYC 18 Green and CYC 17 Green declined bids and the teams and parents decided to go to the JVDA Championships prior to the beginning of the year.

Some clubs field many 2, 3 and 4 teams so this would affect their percentage. Seems to me the best statistic is how many OPEN teams are qualified for the club. From the above, looks like Vision and AJV qualified an Open team in all age groups. Encinitas Wave almost did, except they didn't field an 18s team. With the at-large bid for their 17s team, Mizuno Long Beach may also have a qualified Open team in all age groups.

Not bad for the East Coast (best results this side of Ohio???). Can anyone top this? - Synergy 16s has girls from 3 states on the team - PA, NJ and Delaware.

Or does that just mean that club B provided more opportunity for more kids to play? Fun? You mean Volleyball is supposed to be fun??

Regarding one club being better than the other? Too many moving parts for me.

Or does that just mean that club B provided more opportunity for more kids to play? What makes one club "better" than the other? Hmmm... sounds like interesting fodder for another thread. I'll be we could come up with something along the lines of the well-known "What is Success?" prose passage. To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived... this is to have succeeded. Interestingly enough, this passage is commonly attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, but in fact, he did not write it. What makes a better volleyball club?

Stanley wrote the fore mentioned quote. Taking into consideration the obvious measures of success that today separate "better clubs" i.e. championships, recognition, scholarships, etc., etc. How about the overall club experience? When you take into account the hundreds and possibly thousands of hours kids spend with teammates and coaches during their young volleyball careers, I have found that very strong relationships (possibly lifetime) are fostered with like minded, success oriented individuals...The parent scene within a club is also a very critical component of the club experience, we all have stories of that particular problem parent or parents for whatever reason that just like to stir the pot, a club minus the problem parent(s) can be pure bliss. My wife and I have personally gained some very good relationships via. parents which has definately added great value to our club experience. I do not know but I would bet that within those so called "better clubs" that you are going to find a mature overall feel and philosophy (mindset) that just creates success year in and year out. Anyone?

Last year was just a fluke wrinkle as things shook out on the club scene in Des Moines. IPVA quickly returned this year to their position as one of the top clubs in the state.
