Is it true that there are not many USAV teams/players in the LoneStar USAV region?

Yes, at least men's.  That is one of the reasons that I am working on this blog. I want to get more players and teams involved.  These numbers are for 2009/2010, men and cross A, BB and B level play. Some of the clubs have teams in multiple divisions.  I pulled the information off of the contact page from the LoneStar region website.

Total of 21 clubs
Austin - 6 clubs
Far South (Corpus Christi + South) - 1 club
Far North (Waco + North) - 1 club
San Antonio - 3 clubs
Houston - 10 clubs

There were 696 men registered in 2009 for the region. This means that we COULD have 80+ teams. I'm not sure how many we actually have, but I don't think it's anywhere near that. 

Throughout the 2009/2010 season, the average Austin tournament (which are the main ones I went to) where there were two split divisions had 4 teams (2 of which were my club!) for the B division and 4 teams for the BB/A division.  Other tournaments had 6 teams total between B and BB/A.

The fact is that the region can truly use more players and teams.  It isn't a huge effort or expense. It isn't a major time investment.  It can be, but in general, it isn't.
