Some credit to Peru. They got to 15 points in the last set and previously broke the record for most points scored against the US. (That was Mexico with 14 points).
Still assuming the only decent match will be the US vs. Brazil in the finals. Even then, I'd be surprised if it isn't a rout.

Everyone's got their favorite player. I've enjoyed watching these young women play together. I think these coaches can pick players. And, how about that young Mullen?

I JUST finished watching the game. The philosophy of Sport Canada is wrong. (I think it's sport Canada, could be Volleyball Canada) They don't want to put undue pressure on kids at early ages (I agree) but they have swung the pendulum towards making kids non-competitive. If you want to do that fine, but don't put them in competitive situations. These girls did they best they could with what they've been given. They just haven't been much. imo Obviously we have some girls that can compete at a high level, and they somewhat catch up as they get older (in their 20's and older) but I feel they're doing their kids a disservice. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure in Manitoba, freshman high school teams play the game with opposing coaches throwing the ball to the receiving team to start rallies. Also I think they play with the lower net that we stop using after 12s at as old as 15. Again I could be recalling these points incorrectly. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. First off, it’s not just Manitoba that’s a mess. However, in regards to competitive ball, Manitoba has dropped off the map. The provincial organization “guidance” regarding high performance (insert sad eyes here) is laughable at best. I am certain that Manitoba isn’t the only province operating at this standard. Quite simply, COMPETITIVE volleyball in Canada needs a massive overhaul. These girls go to international events and it’s a smoke show at times. We always SAY we want to be competitive but don’t do the right things to become that (we have coaches that know what those things are but they rarely get an opportunity to lead a program. The girls are the ones who suffer. You are correct - there’s nothing wrong with being participatory just don’t say you’re elite until you can somewhat prove that on the court. The USA match proved how far behind we are. Hang in there ladies, one day someone will care enough about you and right this ship. Keep working hard. Not trying to make excuses for the state of youth volleyball in Canada at the moment. Agree with what’s been posted. But please bear in mind our kids missed 2 compete seasons of club volleyball and most begun this club season with restrictions in place. Not saying there aren’t other factors within VC’s model that are frankly broken. But the effects of the pandemic has been pretty massive. The quality of play at nationals this year was considerably lower than 2018 and 2019 IM0. 2022 was the first year since 2019 there was a national championship. |

USA has a bye until tomorrow.
They'll play the winner of Dominican-Canada (unless PR and Canada win, which they'll play PR) but most likely DOM

I don't think that's an excuse at all, it's a perfectly valid reason. Being derailed for two years is significant, you don't get all that back right away, it will take some time. It would be interesting to know long the other countries suspended volleyball activities and how it's affected their development. |

IMO this looks like a good training video. Huston has a good first touch, Starck gets a good high set, Jackson does a high fake to freeze the defense, and Murray jumps to the ball and kills it, while Choboy, Mullen, and Huston race to their defensive positions. Good players. Good coaching. |
