CLUB VOLLEYBALL TIME

[Rockstar89]

We have barely put the ball down from the school season and most clubs have already extended offers and/or begun having try-outs. For those that played in state, thats a quick turnaround. No rest for the weary! I wish there was a little more of a break, but I realize too that there is organization/planning that needs to be done before practices *actually* begin. Will be interesting to see what a club/travel season looks like in the Covid era. I know some saw a glimpse of one this past year, but I think the majority of kids had very little of a season.

It was a very quick turnaround for state players but probably felt like an eternity to players who had a very short post season run.  

Last season was definitely a lost season so this year will be more important than ever for recruiting age girls since they lost exposure last year.

I'm curious of all the clubs in Tennessee that generates D1 players in the last couple years.  Please help with the ones I've missed.

 

Alliance - Nashville 

TPV - Nashville

K2 - Knoxville

(?) A5 - Chattanooga 

(?) Memphis Metro - Memphis

The biggest omission from this list is Memphis Juniors. They had 7 girls in the 2020 class go D1. (although some of those kids did play HS in Arkansas)

Memphis Metro usually signs 1-2 a year D-1. 

I can't remember any from A5 Chattanooga, but several from Atlanta A5 yearly

C2 Attack had a girl from Station Camp sign a D1 beach scholarship a couple years ago + small handful of other D2, D3 & NAIA players. 

It's been a few years, but MIDTN has signed a couple of D1 players in the past...most recently Alia Logoleo had multiple D1offers, but chose softball. 

Also probably been 5 years, but Ethos has signed some D1 players. Had 3-4 D2s this past season.

The most interesting is how Covid will further affect the big sport and the game. We hope for the best.

Anyone else feel like this season has been way more expensive than anything we’ve paid before?

It always feels expensive but please elaborate?  Why does it feel more expensive this season?  I'm curious

[Rockstar89]

I agree with TeeterTot2...its always expensive. But I have noticed that hotel rooms are a little more expensive this year. Atlanta especially. I couldn't believe what they were/are asking for hotel rooms downtown!

It just seems like we’re constantly being nickeled and dimed this year. And since it’s constant, it adds up to an awful lot.

In previous years we’d make a hefty payment before the season started and then it was done.

I can see that happening.  May I ask what club you're with?

I want to give this amazing young lady some hometown love.  Logan Eggleston, arguable the best non-professional volleyball player in the country, an Alliance Alum, and a Brentwood Bruin Alum, was named the Big 12 player of the year yesterday as a junior (she graduated from Brentwood a year early so she's the age of a Sophomore).  Fingers crossed for that National Player of the year honor.  2022 Olympics will be her next team.

She had an amazing year. I truly thought TX was playing well enough to win it all. But UK put it all together at the right time. She is an amazing athlete and a LOT of fun to watch!!!
