Club season ends soons. What high school teams should be good next year? Both MVP 18-1 and 16-1 have qualified and will be competing in the open division of their respective age groups duing this years National in July 2011. A few other teams that did not qualify for the open division may also compete in the club division during the same time. There are still little less than three months to go, what do you mean the club season ends soon?

A little harsh - but point taken, we still have a few more months of club. And let's finish coed and Boys...And then summer VB camps and clinics. Skills will get better. There are incoming freshmen who are pretty good and not all of them even know for sure what schools they'll be at in the Fall. It's a little early to be predicting the fall. Watching the Summer League may give more insight. I'm sure there will be some good competition in the fall. Maybe I go out on a limb and say Sherwood will be good...

MVP is a boys club. Did you mean Metro American?

Metro only won 16's as a result to taking players from the 17's team to play regionals.

Metro only won 16's as a result to taking players from the 17's team to play regionals. Assuming what you said is true, those players that were on the 17s team are now "frozen" on the 16s team that won the bid. So they will be playing on this 16s team at national which means they must be 16s girl playing up initially and then come back to play at their own age group team. There is nothing wrong with that. If these girls were over aged for the 16 and under group, then not only the Metro 16s will be disqualified for playing at the National, their club and even CHRVA region may be penalized, if I am not mistaken. On the other hand, if these are the 16s girls, then, there really is no issues here. By the way, Metro 16s qualified for the National (club) division while their 18-1 and MVP (boys) 18-1 and 16-1 all qualified for the open division in this year's JO National.

MVSA's 14 Airbenders also won a bid to Nationals by placing second in Open regionals. They did it with the girls who were on the team all season.

re Metro - I think what has some folks upset is that they used the same player(s) on teams for both 16 and 17 regionals competition. This affected regional results. The 17s team didn't place so they loaded up the 16s team the next week. It may be legal, but you can see the issue.

One player from the Metro 17's team (a 16 year old sophomore) played for the 16's team at regionals because their setter was injured. No need to inflate this more than it is.

That one player is arguably one of the best in the region at that age. And the beef is that she played both regionals (17s, 16s). In any case - good luck to ALL the teams representing Chesapeake Region at Nationals!

More than one player from the 17 team participated at regionals. There were some players and parents on the 16 team who were not happy with the additions.

Only a single player from the Metro 17s team played at Regionals, and that was to replace a setter who underwent knee surgery just one month earlier. And for the record - no 17s players were there one month later, when the Metro 16 team beat both NOVA and Virginia Elite at the Mid Atlantic Power League Tournament. Lets let drop the accusations of unfairness and instead applaud all the girls in the region for elevating the level of play to such a high degree.

Moved since this is apparently more about club volleyball than high school.
Congrats to all the players, coaches and clubs that qualified for Nationals. For many it's a once in a lifetime experience. Soak it all in and discover just how big this country is and how many girls are playing some very high level volleyball.

I have a libero question. I know that a libero cannot set the ball using overhand finger action while on or in front of the attack line extended, resulting in a completed attack above the height of the net. I wondered if one foot is behind the line and one is in front but as she goes to set the ball, the libero lifts the foot that is in front of the line right before she sets it, is it still illegal?

I wondered if one foot is behind the line and one is in front but as she goes to set the ball, the libero lifts the foot that is in front of the line right before she sets it, is it still illegal? I've never seen this but I'd call her. It seems that would meet the definition of setting from within the front zone. I have a better one - what if she does a jump set and takes off from behind the line and sets from in front. Again - in the front zone and a fault? Wonder how often this really happens, even inadvertently. Maybe some senior refs can chime in. Regarding Liberos, my pet peeve is when they get called for an illegal attack because they jump when they hit the ball. The rule is ball totally above the net, not "jumping". I've even heard coaches say they can't jump. Maybe they need to be careful if they're tall, but, really? Not every time some of these short liberos jump are they getting that high up and sometimes their contact is not made at the peak anyway. Oh well.
