11 Players To Know Heading Into The Queens of the Quads

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One thing I love about the sport of volleyball are the variety of ways it can be played. It isn't strictly for 6 vs 6 indoor play only. We've seen an explosion in the sand doubles game and grass triples are big in the adult circuit. There has been a rise in the grass quads game for youth as it is a great segway from 6s to triples or doubles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At Prep Dig we see how much time, energy, and work these players put into the sport of volleyball. It isn't all for scholarships and awards because it starts from a love of the game. So, before we jump into another competitive high school season that rolls into another club grind let's have some fun! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
