JJVA has a proven record for training some of the best teams in the state and producing some of the best college-bound players. While they are highly competitive nationally, JJVA’s 18N and 17N teams should be on the must-watch list.   18N Daniel - This 18’s National team is full of knock-out players, most of which already have DI commitments already lined-up. The coaching staff includes Head Coach Daniel Magnusson and Assistant Coach CJ Sherman. Two of their uncommitted players include Mila Kavalieros and Jylisa Myers. Mila Kavalieros is a 5’7” Libero on this 18’s team and will graduate this year in 2021. She is an incredible defensive player and stands out as the star of the back-row. Between her perfect platform and constant movement on the court, Mila is always ready to make the perfect pass to target. Jylisa Myers is a powerful opposite hitter and is very successful in blocking and attacking the right side. At 5’7”, Jylisa is a shorter pin blocker but makes up for her height with her high jumping skills. Both seniors round out what is sure to be an incredible team this season.   17N Adis - This 17’s National team with Head Coach Adis Imamovic and Assistant Coach Molly Burkhardt is one that is sure to impress this season. This team is loaded with highly talented Juniors. Taylor Boyd is a 5’9” setter and opposite hitter and Class of 2022. Her greatest talent is her ability to move fast and fluidly on the court. She can make a set to her pin hitters from virtually anywhere on the court, in addition to her powerful swings from the right side. [player_tooltip player_id="98927" first="Isabella" last="Collier"] is a true middle blocker and hitter. This 6’4” Junior has the range of any great middle with hitting options in the front row. Isabella jumps high over the block and has great success in both quick hits from the middle position or a slide to the right pin. Her greatest strength is her quick movements on the net to her attack options or to block on defense. Both of these Class of 2022 standouts are sure to make a big impact on this 17N team this season.
