First thought is this is a good thing...gives more kids options to keep playing at the age. Also hear VA Elite is offering a 12 team... again more options/opportunity for players. Any other clubs with changes?

Many of us have heard by now that Beach Elite has newly formed down in Tidewater and will be fielding 15s, 17s and 18s.....but also, hearing that U-Turn Sports out of Richmond may be fielding teams. Any news on this? Gives wonder to where the two big Penn State recuits will be...... Last Edited By: Hopeful Parent Oct 15 08 11:52 AM. Edited 1 times.

glennl20	Coastal 18's	#5	[-]
Registered Member Posts: 100 Oct 24 08 6:40 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Not a prediction, but? Coastal 18's is loaded with Beach Player of the Year candidates Lasseigne, Hugeback, Bartz, and Blanfordand SED POY candidates Sump and Jones. Not sure about the peninsula since no one posts from there, but I would expect Sears to be a POY candidate. Also a couple of more from Williamsburg. Again, no one posts HS stuff from there. Setter Angelini might have been a POY candidate if she had been healthy.
Hopeful Parent	18s Predictions	#6	[-]
Registered Member Posts: 226 Oct 24 08 8:51 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think the 18s will be much more competative than what some expect. F'Burg should be tough. Heard that the 15s coach from last year is 18s this year. RVC or U Turn out of Richmond....will Woolridge and Carpenter be together? Heard a rumor that Carpenter was considering VA Elite.

Registered Member Posts: 134 Oct 24 08 4:04 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Are POY nominations already posted somewhere - just wondering how you know who they are (or are they just the obvious candidates)? I thought the coaches got together and nominated after the playoffs. Lots of offensive power sounds like, but what about defense for the Coastal 18's? Lots of hitters on that team, but I am sure that they are all pretty versatile.

Registered Member Posts: 100 Oct 24 08 9:23 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Just the obvious POY candidates, mostly from past discussions. After Thursday's game against L'town, Jenny Pry would be in the mix for that one game. As I've said before, we don't hear that much from L'town in the paper, so I'm not sure how the whole season went for the individuals. Coastal 18's will have plenty of defense! The OH and RS hitters Sump, Lasseigne, Pry, Sears, and Hugeback have all demonstrated very good defense. Cory Harris and Bartz as DS and libero with O'Conner as DS if she is not setting. All defensive players were picked so that they could also fill in offensively if necessary. U-turn might have a great 18's team also, but we don't know who is playing there yet. Lot's of potential if the right girls are gathered together. Last Edited By: glennl20 Oct 24 08 9:35 PM. Edited 1 times.

We all either have a dog in the fight or have a favorite player. I know last year I was rooting for Wexel but they went with the co-poy selection. I believe consistency should be the major contributing factor. All players have off matches to an extent but there are those few that maintain a high level of play all six rotations and keep the errors to a minimum every match.

Are we allowed to have this discussion if vb1311 did not start it? I was just trying to compliment the great effort of the girls and brag about Coastal 18's. However, if Hopeful insists on consistency of high level play on all six rotations, I'll just have to agree . Let's let the coaches handle this one. I'm sure they'll pick someone deserving using their own set of biases and not ours. Last Edited By: glennl20 Oct 25 08 5:58 PM. Edited 2 times.

Registered Member Posts: 397 Oct 27 08 4:20 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think consistency over the course of the season is a huge factor, however not all coaches will do their homework and take all the best criteria into account. Some coaches will only remember that Kid A lit them up for 18kills(nevermind the fact that the kid hit .132), but kid B had 10 kills, 12 digs, 2 aces, but won't get the the recognition. I put faith in coaches like Leblanc, Magula, Adams,etc. to make good valid arguments and use their experience to convince some of the other coaches. I would say Leblanc has to be coach of the year hands down.

Leblanc finds a way to continually win. She is very deep in talent, and does a great job. Maybe she should be running for president... she can sure manage talent.. maybe she could manage our economy.
vaelitepres	Many Thanks - and upcoming coaches sessions	#15	[-]
Registered Member Posts: 18 Oct 27 08 12:02 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I just wanted to give a special thanks to Tom Tait - Hall of Fame coach who started Penn State Volleyball, Tom Hogan - Current Women's National Team Assistant, Stu Sherman - Graceland University and Don Burroughes - HP Coach out of Ohio Valley Region for doing our CAP clinic this weekend. If you were not there, we had over 100 coaches from all over and as far away as Bermuda attending and it was a great event. We are hosting CAP annually and you can expect another course offering in late October 2009, so keep an eye out for that. Lastly, we will be working with Tom Hogan and Team USA to be bringing more player and coaches training in Decemember, we are looking at the weekends of the 6th and 7th and 13th and 14th, so as we work out the details we will get the information out. These sessions are open to everyone.

vball1311	Getting Started	#17	[-]
Registered Member Posts: 397 Nov 18 08 10:56 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Teams are starting to get through Webpoint and starting practices in Hampton Roads.. around the rest of the state Tryouts are taking place. It looks like it will be a very competitive season after watching the High School season. There is a lot of talent across the state we should be sending more than just teams with a regional bid to nationals. Picking and choosing the right qualifiers will be critical, but I expect alot of great matches in and outside of the region.

Registered Member Posts: 397 Nov 20 08 6:06 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Is there a more star ladened (by accolades) then Coastal 18's in the Region? A lot of expectations will be put on this team i forsee some good battles with USPAV 18's... I also think our Beach Elite 18's will surprise some people. They will not be super flashy but be a very solid team under Caleb.
