Best VB Clubs

There are 1000s of prep VB clubs these days. The following is my best memory of some of the top clubs UD has had players from in the last 10 years or so. The rankings are calculated using the last 5 years of history from the age groups of each club for 14 to 18 year olds. Club teams are put together for each age, but good players often "play up" in age group. And clubs cycle through this list as the years go by. For example, there is a club out of PA that use to be a favorite of Penn State. Many, many PSU recruits came out of that club. A couple even became Olympic/pro players. But they are no longer a top 100 club, meaning in the last 5 years they haven't produced the teams vying for national club championships. So this is the current 5 year cycle. Also, the UD volleyball roster pages don't list all the player clubs like they use to. My opinion on that is UD should list clubs and club coaches. Clubs play such a big part in recruiting for volleyball. I think if UD is moving away from listing clubs in the bios, it's a mistake. We need to have as many pipelines into the top clubs as possible and listing clubs in bios and even coaches costs nothing. My 2-cents on that topic.

Maggie doesn't have her club in her bio plus the 6 freshmen (Julia, Brooke, Jordan, Jamie, Olivia, and Sierra).

It could be that the coaches/staff was just too busy to spend any time editing the bios this past July-August. Or it's a move to not list the clubs. Either way I think they should be listed. Clubs are the pipeline to recruits. Some schools also list the club coach they played for. Supporting the clubs and coaches in this way just seems like it would help build those pipelines.
