I think they accidentally put 1st Alliance 17's 2's team in power pools ( 17 silver). Otherwise I think so far its pretty accurate.

I can only say for 17s teams because that’s the age group I know. I think it’s pretty accurate. Other than yeah they listed 1st Alliance’s 2s team. Full disclosure, my kid’s team made the PP but I also agree with most of the list. So many exceptional teams. Looking it over now and I’d say the only glaring “miss” for me would be MKE Sting. I know they had some player changes but they’ve always been a bit of a rival for our team and still have so many good players. Saw them a bit at NLQ last month and they went to 3 with Premier NE, who ended up with a bid. A little shocked to not see them listed but the rest of the teams are pretty good.

 Maybe they will make it in the final 4 adds or PP's. I love MS libero. She is fun to watch.

Yeah Claire is money! My daughter knows her and the middle Anna from NTDP. Really great kids. I didn’t realize they were still adding to the PP.

Tri-State Elite 17 Blue seems to be a team that deserved to be in the mix. Last years 16 Open Runner-Up to A5 and currently leading the MEPL 17s standings. Looking forward to if they are in the 4 additions.

Best part of the video was when they were explaining where they get the information on teams to determine powerpools and the experts at Volleytalk were included!

They’re another great team. I think MKE Sting and Rockwood Thunder should be a lock for 2 of the final 4 PP slots. For the other two slots, it’s a total crapshoot.

So what teams from NL made the PP for TC?   Curious how they did against each other?

1st Alliance, A5, Dynasty, OT Felix, Premier Nebraska, and VC Nebraska were all at NLQ and are in the PP.

Here’s the link for how they played each other:

I agree 100%. I'm also surprised about Tri-State but then again, I haven't seen them play this season yet. They've always been a solid, tough team though.

Are they having the college coaches camp this year? Are D1 coaches allowed to coach at this? I thought I heard that last year was the last year because of the changes in the camp calendar legislation from the NCAA.
