They are the fire in the belly of the team as well as sometimes the shot callers and hype-women for the attackers. They can make or break a team’s chance at success. Here are some of the top ‘Bros from the Prep Dig Stock-up Showcase in Milwaukee last weekend.
Schmitz is an impressive defender in terms of speed, reading the ball, and technique. She gets the balls most would assume dead and she reads hitters like a book. Schmitz makes some crazy good digs while also being solid in serve receive. And if you are looking for your hype-woman, look no further because she is a super supportive teammate on the court. The communication is constant with her setters and attacker whether they are on serve receive, offense, or defense.
Grisolono works well with the athletes around her and is quick to step in for the 2nd contact. She will pick up any ball along the backline from one corner to the other which is a huge challenge for middle back. Grisolono is calm and confident in her movements along with the ability to touch a ton of attacks will really frustrate opponents.
Gibbons movements were spot as I watched her. She creates a great platform and moves to the ball well before it knows where it’s going. Gibbons has strong fundamentals and these allow her to take the correct first step quickly and make the best angles possible even against a really tough swing. She is a fun athlete to watch and I can’t wait to watch for her at the next event.
Beeman is really quick on defense and with the correct step on serve receive. She works hard to better the ball on every play and use strong technique. Her spunk and skillset make her a huge asset to any team she is on. Beeman’s speed also allows helps her pick up balls most wouldn’t dream of getting close to.
Flores holds a strong platform and demonstrates solid ball control skills. She is an athlete who stood out as a player who would take direction and apply it right away. Flores is a fiesty defender and consistent on serve receive.
