Club Volleyball: Down to Four

So after reading all the club sites and using some calculus to determine a feasible tryout schedule, we are left with 4 teams that we will be trying out for. Although the Washington Volleyball Academy was not one of them due to how far away practices would be held, they seem top notch and depending on how Kate progresses, maybe its something we will look at next year. We begin our quest for club acceptance on Thursday, November 19th for Club A. Of the four, Club A seems the least intense and expensive. They are coached by a 2nd year college player. I'm happy the tryouts are on Thursday because it will allow Kate to get a feel for what it will be like the rest of the weekend. Saturday will be busy as we start out with Club B  from 12:30-3 then head down the street to Club C from 4-6. If Kate is not burned out by Saturday night, she may be a cyborg. Sunday will see us wrapping up tryouts with Club D. I really have no idea what to expect. We have heard really good things about Club B, but volleyball-wise they are probably a step down from Club C & D; no out of state tournaments, no JO, no Phoenix in June....but all that may be OK  this 9th grade year. Kate will be playing 9th grade volleyball at her junior high simultaneously...so...not going to stress. We try out for all 4 clubs and see what happens.
