Charlette has improved so much in the last year. She has always had a great touch on the ball and been very athletic, but everything just seemed to click for her recently, including the way she spreads her offense, reading opposing blockers, and giving her hitters the best possible opportunities to earn points. Charlette is consistent, athletic, and confident on the court.
Highlights
Claire was dominant in the back row. She made some huge digs and could read hitters well. Claire was quick and explosive in her movement to pick up balls and was always communicating at a high level. She was confident and consistent in setting out of system balls.
Anna is a powerhouse right side. She has a huge vertical and a high contact point. She balances her powerful swings and her placement of the ball to manufacture points. She is also a consistent and impact blocker. Anna had a huge presence on the court at the showcase and was dominant on both offense and defense.
Highlights
Mariska really impressed me with her clean form and use of all her hitters. I saw her feeding the middle from behind the ten-foot line on several occasions. That is hard to do consistently and takes a confident setter. She played well in every drill and is an athlete with huge potential.
Lauren impressed me with her court awareness and high volleyball IQ. She had some great heads-up plays out of the middle. She can turn and track the ball quickly and find her setter. Lauren made really smart plays on offense and defense. Lauren is newer on my radar, and she was really impressive throughout the showcase.
Brooklyn is a huge energizer on the court. On top of being a talented middle, she is a leader as well. She is explosive in her approach and her movement from pin to pin on her block. She earns momentum-changing points and is a passionate and competitive player.
Addison was a key player in the transition and competition drills. She moved her swings around well and kept opposing defenders moving. She was disciplined in transition. She has a high contact on the ball and is a consistent and powerful pin.
Highlights
Megan really impressed me with her blocking. She moved very well across the net and read opposing hitters well. Megan is also an impressive hitter with a lot of power. Not many hitters could get past Megan’s massive block at the showcase.
Highlights
Ella has an incredible amount of raw athletic talent. She has a high contact point, and she was nearly unstoppable once she got going at the showcase. It is amazing when she connects with a set – her power is massive. She is an athlete that exploded onto my radar and is insanely talented.
Highlights
Ava is a master at run-throughs. She truly only hits the ground when it is necessary. She hustled more than nearly anyone that attended the showcase and ran down some very challenging balls. Her form is clean, and her court awareness is next level. I have had the opportunity to see her play before, but she really filled up my notes app at the showcase.
