Paradigm Volleyball has been established to construct a positive learning environment for athletes, while also providing a high level of on court volleyball training.
This past weekend marks the end of the 2015 season for 4 out of the 5 Paradigm teams. Paradigm Revolution finished the season with a victory at the BNCC Sunshine Showdown. What a special feeling for our Seniors to win in their last ever tournament. As for the season as a whole, Paradigm had a wonderful season. All of the girls worked, trained and played hard throughout the season. While it may not have been the best season in terms of number of championships (fell 1 short of tying the record for most championships in one season), it was a season of firsts for Paradigm. This season is the first season that Paradigm qualified one of its team to go to Nationals. As many know, this is not an easy task. Congrats to Paradigm Revolt 17s on their Regional bid. As for the rest of teams, below is a summary of finishes for the club.

Paradigm Volleyball earns first BID to Nationals!
This past weekend was a first for the Paradigm Volleyball Club. The Paradigm Revolt 17s earned the first ever Bid to Nationals for Paradigm as a volleyball club. At the end of June, the Revolt 17s will travel to New Orleans to participate in the USAV Junior National Championships to play against the best teams in the nation, all vying for a National Championship. Congarts to the players and coaches of Revolt 17s.
As for the other teams that participated in the Bid Qualifier, all of the teams did what they needed to, to remain in contention for a Bid during Pool Play. Revolution 18s, Rebellion 16s and Ruckus 15s all finished pool play in 2nd place which allowed them to advance to the Gold brackets in their respective division. Unfortunately, all 3 teams would lose in the Gold Semi Finals to fall just short of gaining a Bid.
Congrats to all teams and good luck to Paradigm Revolt in New Orleans

Paradigm Volleyball visits Mickey Mouse in Orlando, Florida
Last weekend, three of our older teams travelled to Orlando, Florida to participate in another National Qualifier, the Disney Volleyball Showcase. The Rebellion 16s, the Revolt 17s and the Revolution 18s all participated in their respective USA divisions. This weekend the teams decided to flip-flop how they would progress through out the weekend. The Rebellion 16s started the weekend of strong, finishing 2-1 on day 1 to remain in contention. However, they finished 1-2 on day 2 and were placed in the Silver bracket on day 3. They would go on to lose in the quarterfinals of Silver to finish 17th out of 46 teams.
The weekend went a little differently for the 17s and 18s then it did at the previous Qualifier. Well both teams fought hard on day 1, both finished 1-2 were out of contention. Even though they were out of contention, both teams played hard and finished day 2 to find themselves in the Bronze bracket. Revolt 17s would go on to lose in the finals of Bronze to finish 17th out of 33 teams and Revolution 18s would lose in the quarterfinals of Bronze to finish 21st out of 30 teams
Congrats to all teams.

Northeast Qualifer
Over the last 2 weekends, all Paradigm teams participated in the Northeast Qualifer. This tournament is divided across multiple weekends and at multiple sites. The first weekend, Ruckus 15s and Rebellion 16s travelled to Philadelphia to play at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. In order to stay in contention for bids, teams have to finish 1st or 2nd in all of their pools. Unfortunately, both teams feel shy of that goal on day 1, finishing 1-2. Even though both teams were out of contention, they continued to fight hard to finish the best that they could. Ruckus 15s would finish 1-2 and Rebellion was 3-0 on day 2. On day 3, Ruckus went on to lose in the semi finals of Flight 3 while Rebellion lost in the finals of Flight 1A. Ruckus would finish the weekend 49th out of 60 teams while Rebellion would finish 39th out of 72 teams.
The following weekend, the club would be split between 2 cities. Riot 14s were in National Harbor, just outside of Washington DC while the older girls were in Philadelphia. Riot 14s had a similar weekend to those of the 15s and 16s. Finishing 1-2 on both of the first 2 days before losing in semifinals of Flight 3 on day 3. They finished 49th out of 58 teams. There final finish bettered their starting seed by 1. They came into the tournament seeded 50th. Nice job girls!
The weekend ended a little bit better for the Revolt 17s and Revolution 18s. Both teams were able to stay in contention until the final day. Revolt 17s took the easier path to the Gold Bracket on Sunday by finishing 2-1 on the first 2 days. Rebellion 18s felt that they should challenge themselves. Similar to the 17s, they finished 2-1 on day 1. Day 2 was another story. They finished 1-2 in a 3-way tie for second place. This meant that the 3 teams would have to play 2 tie breakers to remain in contention for the bid. The 18s saved their best for the tie breakers. Winning both easily 25-18 followed by 25-13. Both teams were very happy to have remained in contention until day 3. On day 3, both teams lost in the quarterfinals of Gold to finish 9th overall. Very respectible for a National Qualifier.
Congrats to all teams over the 2 weekends.

Paradigm Volleyball brings home multiple championships
This past weekend was one of the best weekends for Paradigm as a club. With all 5 teams participating in the WEVA Digfest across 4 divisions, Paradigm brought home championships in 2 of those 4 divisions. Paradigm Revolution 18s and Paradigm Rebellion 16s both won their divisions this past weekend. The other 3 teams faired just as well. Paradigm Ruckus 15s and Paradigm Riot 14s both lost in the Gold semifinals to finish 3rd overall in their divisions. Paradigm Revolt 17s had a chance to win a championship as well but due to them playing up in the 18s division, met the our own 18s in the finals and had to settle for a 2nd place finish.
Two 1st place finishes, one 2nd place finish and two 3rd place finishes. Epic weekend for Paradigm.
Congrats to all teams.

Unlucky breaks in Columbus
This past weekend in Columbus should be a learning experience for all of our teams. They should have learned that you should never give up on any points because winning or losing a single point can mean the difference between continuing the journey towards a championship and being sent to the lower division. More than one of our teams fall victim to local tiebreaking rules. Revolt fell victim on Saturday. Finishing third in their pool on Saturday, they were not able to be one of the top 4 3rd places finishers so they were placed in the lower division on Sunday with no chance of making it to the gold bracket. On Sunday, Revolution was a victim as well. They finished in a 3-way tie for 2nd in their pool where the first and second place finishers moved on to Gold. Due to the tie breaking rules, they ended up 4th in their pool and were put in the Bronze bracket.
Even with the tough breaks, the girls learned a lot about themselves and their teammates. Many of them learned that they can compete at a high level and compete with some of the best teams in the country. Hopefully they can apply this learning when it comes to the upcoming qualifiers.
Here is how all of the teams finished:
Revolution 18s - 15th / 24 Teams
Revolt 17s - 19th / 23 Teams
Rebellion 16s - 22nd / 24 Teams
Congrats to all teams on their respective finishes!
