– AVC
In watching Clement this early part of the club season it is very noticeable that her skill development has matured both in her strength and movement as a middle. She uses her athleticism to her advantage with lateral quickness and the ability to get up off the floor well. She has elevated her impact on both sides of the ball including as a point scorer that increases the depth of this team’s offense across the net with her improved ability to terminate.

– NKYVC (*pictured)
Dyas entered the club season following a big increase in action and productivity for her high school team last fall. The full scope of her game has improved along with her confidence and court presence that is all business. She has increased her arm speed and her ability to score more effectively at the pins, which complements her regular quick option middle contributions. She is a formidable blocker and can serve and play defense in the back row well, making her a well rounded option and prospect at 6’2 for NKYVC’s top 16U team.

Arriving on our radar early this club season, Cole has some good physical tools at the net. Where she makes some of her biggest impact is as a blocker as she loads well and is explosive through her hand penetration that stuffs or creates controlled touches for her team. Offensively, she can create a high contact point through quick tempo options and with more development of torque and double-arm lift along with improved timing and spacing she could be a more complete and high impact middle.

– TSE
At 6’0, Miller does some good things offensively for TSE’s 16 White team. She has good timing and ability to swing through a variety of options in the middle phase around the setter. Her blocking mechanics have potential to create more impact defensively as she shows a good base of mechanics. Her total skill set will continue to refine itself as she gains more training and experience and we are looking forward to see her growth as the club season moves forward.

– OPVC
Kloth has a good fundamental base as a middle for OPVC’s top 16U team. At 5’11, she can make an impact on both sides of the ball. Offensively, she looks most comfortable and fluid through a one-footed take off behind the setter as she can create good movement on the ball when on time through the slide option. Defensively, she has good patience and is efficient with her footwork to move towards both pins to fill up space when blocking.
