<p>I love watching these young athletes working with other athletes and showing their stuff at these showcases. It is amazing to see them grow and develop sometimes in front of our eyes as they play in a new environment. One of the most interesting interactions is between the setters and hitters. They really have to be having an "on" day to look great when working with athletes they may have never met before. Let's talk about some of the setters who slayed at the showcase today.</p>
