Standouts at a NorCal Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are California athletes that attended a one day showcase in Walnut Creek:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kaeton Myers</strong> | 2025 | OH | NorCal<br>It is difficult to stay on one task in the sequential game of volleyball and Kaeton Myers is really good at staying with the pass. She watches the ball into her platform. Additionally, she allows her arms space between her body for any slight adjustments. Myers reaches high on contact during her attack. Therefore, she can have two great shots, either crosscourt or line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alex Anderson </strong>| 2024 | OH/DS | <br>A hybrid athlete, like Alex Anderson, often showcases a very controlled style of play. Specifically, she is a solid, reliable passer with potential to be very accurate. Her athleticism will open doors for her to transition between seasons from indoor to beach. Watch for Anderson as her consistent play blends her in with everyone but her dual sport capability makes her standout.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jordan Simpkins</strong> | 2024 | MB | Main Beach<br>The motor is always running with Jordan Simpkins. Additionally, this high motor athlete makes middle hits that turn people's attention to her court. Boom is a word that comes to mind. Always active on the court, she is enjoyable to watch because a fan might just witness a rare play. For example, Simpkins had a backwards facing bump kill on what normally would have been a free ball. She turned ordinary into extraordinary on that play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hailey Sarlatte</strong> | 2025 | OH | Marin Juniors<br>Hailey Sarlatte boasts a great platform. She is a long, excellent athlete that has untapped potential. To start, her passing base is wide and solid but that does not slow her down. Her athleticism is shown as she often gets to a ball in an unbalanced position but continues to make a play. Look to Sarlatte as her development progresses. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Isabella Taylor</strong> | 2025 | OH | <br>Just a bit different, with a passing base that is narrow, Isabella Taylor does great work in serve receive. In her style of play, the barely shoulder width feet of Taylor are used to push off the ground quickly to get to a serve. Once she is there she makes a great effort to find an excellent platform angle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='538056' first='Giselle' last='Paedon'] </strong>| 2025 | OH | Vision<strong><br></strong>Shuffling well and holding a solid platform are two keys to the passing of [player_tooltip player_id='538056' first='Giselle' last='Paedon']. Being very disciplined to keep her shuffling footwork is really an advantage for her. She is simply really good in her range. Paedon is a cross court hitter with a high reach to the ball. Defenders cannot settle in though because she has crafted an offspeed shot that scores points too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
