5 Playmakers That Made Club Moves

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tryout season is *mostly* over for the 2023-2024 club season around the state. While it is completely normal for players to try new clubs in the summer time or even move to a different club, we have found 5 athletes who made big moves for themselves in the off-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='254075' first='Bailey' last='Gittens'] - Outside - TAV Houston ---&gt; Woodlands Skyline</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='254075' first='Bailey' last='Gittens'] finished the club year out strong as one of the leading outside hitters for her team. She loves to take aggressive swings in tight games or on tough sets, and she doesn't shy away from a challenge. She will be playing for the new Houston Skyline the Woodlands club in Magnolia on 17 Royal. She has really excelled in all aspects of her game and became a prominent blocker at the net late into the season. She is turning into a well rounded outside and we are looking forward to watching her during her junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='218999' first='Simone' last='Robinson'] - Setter - HJV ---&gt; AVA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='218999' first='Simone' last='Robinson'] was part of a stacked HJV team this past season who could go toe-to-toe with anyone. Her ability to dish the ball to the pin was unmatched in her age division, and her quick release made it hard to beat as a blocker. She was a solid defender too, with an intentional defensive style in right back. She will move onto a stacked AVA 17 Adidas team that is loaded with talent. I am confident we will see her make huge strides in her volleyball journey playing up on 17s.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226814' first='Jasmyn' last='Walker'] - Middle -Houston Skyline---&gt; HJV</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Middle blocker [player_tooltip player_id='226814' first='Jasmyn' last='Walker'] is known for her quickness and vertical touch, and now she will bring those skills over to HJV 16 Elite and join an already stacked squad of athletes. Jasmyn is sure to be more on our radar this year being on a team that competes at such a high level. Jasmyn is not only a great hitter, she is dynamic enough to pass and play defense as well, and uses that vertical to hit out of the back row. She will be a huge addition to HJV 16 Elite.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='318127' first='Henley' last='Anderson'] - Outside - Austin Performance ---&gt; Austin Skyline</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Number 1 Prep Dig prospect [player_tooltip player_id='318127' first='Henley' last='Anderson'] made the switch from Austin Performance to 4x open qualified Austin Skyline 16 Royal. Henley is the full package when it comes to a well rounded outside, as evidenced by her ranking. Her tenure at Austin Performance and school season at Dripping Springs has allowed her to develop into an amazing 6 rotation player, who can pass and play defense with the best of the liberos in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='254165' first='Jaidyn' last='Hartsfield'] - Outside - [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last='']' last='']' last='']' last=''] ---&gt; Drive Nation</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dynamic player [player_tooltip player_id='254165' first='Jaidyn' last='Hartsfield'] leaves a long stint at [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last='']' last='']' last='']' last=''] to join Drive Nation 16 Red. Jaidyn can really do it all as a player, and do it well. I am excited to see how Drive Nation uses her abilities and what position she will land. Jaidyn is an excellent outside hitter, blocker, setter, and defender who can step in and dominant the position she is in. Her setting IQ is off the charts, and her in-game decisions are what set her apart from the rest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Did you make a club move this summer?
