  1. We were with Alliance last year and returned this year. I was worried the numbers would drop significantly but was pleased to see more players at tryouts than last season for our same age group. I did hear the numbers at TPV were a little more than ours, but they take more teams so that is to be expected. We lost a few players from our team last year who decided to go check them out, but I think we also gained a few who were doing the same thing. Watching school ball I saw some good players out of both clubs. It would be neat to watch the Alliance 1's play TPV 1's and down the line but that won't happen for a while if ever. I'm just shocked to see both clubs hosting tournaments the same weekend - and having good participation at both. There's a whole world of kids out there who play ball and I'm just baffled at how each sport / club have their own world/lingo/etc. Friends who play club softball and swim - they have these big events as well. The size of teen events is what has me still baffled as I never participated in these as a child.
  2. Man oh man Volleyball is intense. We selected our club and are happy with our decision. Now I can't wait for the girls to get in the gym and play ball!!!
  3. That's good news Teeter Tot. Funny I was on putting what I found on too. Looks like Alliance and MidTN both follow USAV. Best I can tell TPV and Ethos follow JVA. I do appreciate you guys helping. My daughter has done a skills clinic at each place to test the waters. I will take your feedback into consideration and am waiting on the list of tournaments and pricing. I do like that Alliance posted their coach list already as I have heard some didn't like having HS coaches for the younger girls at TPV last season. They did like the master coaching though. I have heard pros and cons from each club's parents just in talking on the sidelines. Thanks!
  4. Thanks VBDad615. I see Alliance posted theirs too!! I put the link to the tweet and it uploaded this, how funny.
  5. We got the official communication from TPV today and it's dependent on the age of the kid. http://franklinfieldhouse.website.siplay.com/Site/Tennessee-Performance/Club-Tryouts Since Alliance hasn't said a word I will assume it's what SRVA had published. Fall break is on either way.
  6. Thanks Osage, I had forgotten about that. I heard last year they tried out early and were throwing commitments out before the SRVA governed teams had even tried out. AH the decisions.
  7. Sounds like they're having a great season!!
  8. Thanks VBDad615, very good insights. I appreciate it! I really like that link you sent about the SRVA as that helps as well. It really helps for me to read the main SRVA page. https://srva.org/WCS/ TRYOUT/COMMITMENT DATES FOR THE 2018 – 2019 SEASON For ages 14 and below (ALL STATES) First day of tryouts Saturday 10/13/18. Commitment Day is 10/18/18. For ages 15 and above; Alabama – First day of tryouts 11/02/18. Commitment Day is 11/07/18. Georgia – First day of tryouts 11/04/18. Commitment Day is 11/09/18. Tennessee – First day of tryouts 10/20/18. Commitment Day is 10/25/18.
  9. I also realllllly wish the tryout dates would be published already. Fall break planning needs to be finalized, but I am nervous they're going to all plop the tryouts down on that weekend.
  10. While looking around online for news I found this which I would venture to guess is the new A-Game's rename soon. It looks like TYS-Fieldhouse. http://tys-fieldhouse.com/ Is there enough room for all the teams at the formerly known as Franklin Fieldhouse building? It also looks like Alliance South Satellite is breaking away to start their own club. Not sure if there will be an Alliance South or what it will look like going forward. https://www.m1vbc.com/ I think curiosity about TPV is high though. I've heard they will host more this year and travel less back and forth to Gatlinburg. I've also heard Alliance will host less local. Watching kids who play for either club all show growth as a player so for volleyball in general it's good to have more kids improving. I don't know if these teams will ever play or if they'll stay in their own spheres like last year. Lastly, I think the lack of communication certainly has parents frustrated. Also I hate to say it but the 1's teams are likely mostly content, but seeing the 2's and 3's realize it's hard to move up will likely drive a few over to other clubs to see if the grass is greener. It seems to be just the way it is.
  11. A quick check of Alliance's facebook page seems to confirm that she's coaching the 17-1's team at Alliance this year. So far no updates on Club West's website or socials about it. We'll see I guess.
  12. So the headlines read that the building sold...TPV is telling their members that they'll be moving over to A-Game soon and Alliance is telling their members that decisions haven't been made. I guess it's time to worry about school ball again and wait to see what happens over on the club side when decisions are made. I wonder how many will stay where they are, how many will move around, what it will look like next year. I hear that this happens time to time with clubs - I'm just too new to have personal experience. It's enough to give me a panic attack.
  13. I saw the Tennessean posted an article nothing the facility is still not closed yet. I thought the deadline was yesterday, but it seems there's been an extension granted. I do wonder what the future holds for the mid-state clubs. Oh if I had a crystal ball.
  14. Hello I'm new to the forums. I was reading this thread and it just kind of died. Any updates on thoughts as the season draws to a close? I have a kid who plays club / middle school and there's so many unknowns right now. Anyway, anyone want to express their thoughts on the mid-state clubs near the end now?
