<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rise Volleyball Club, based out of Medford (about five hours south of Portland), gives a home to the majority of top volleyball players in the area. Given that Medford is a smaller city and does not have a big city nearby, the opportunities to find competitive club volleyball are more limited. And the top athletes tend to stick together, knowing that this is how they will best compete against other teams. A bulk of athletes on this team switched from Spiketown Volleyball Club to Rise Volleyball Club, who finished last season tied for 7th place at Regional. So the team is poised to do quite well this club season. This group has already proved they can compete with the top 18s teams in CEVA. CJ Roberts, the current head coach at Umpqua Community College, will lead this club team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["236031"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Bischoff is a dynamic attacker with the ability to play any position at a high level.

Over high school season, she averaged 13.8 kills, 6.4 digs, and 2.3 aces with a .343 hitting percentage. Given the big block she puts up and her ability to hit a multitude of angles, she will likely be seen perfecting her craft on the right side. However, Bittle has experience playing on both the outside and middle, if needed. She recently committed to play at Corban University, joining fellow Rise teammate [player_tooltip player_id='303783' first='Emma' last='Bischoff'].","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d359c03c9fe"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["303811"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Christian, who led the back row for Spiketown last season as their libero, will likely be seen in a similar fashion for this Rise team. She is coming off a fantastic high school season with South Medford, where, as their libero, she helped the team advance to the top 8 of the 6A State tournament. She is solid across the board, with consistent ball control, a fast reaction time on defense, and a lethal jump float serve.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d359c03ca6f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["163992"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Clevenger is an athletic six-rotation outside hitter.
