Mintonette m.53 Set to Compete in 15 Liberty at GJNC

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the #7 seed in the 15 Liberty division at the upcoming USAV GJNC in Las Vegas, this team has an opportunity to earn a medal if they can use the balance of their offensive presence around the court to their advantage. Although their club's third team in the 15U age group, they represent a group of athletes that have potential for a bright prep career ahead of them. Here are five to watch: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SOPHIE HAMILTON</strong> - OH<br>Hamilton is a key piece for her team as she has the ability to play six rotations with good impact. At the net, she shows good control in her approach work and at the top of her jump. As her pace will continue to improve as she gets stronger and gains more experience, she elevates well with good command of her arm to be able to move the ball around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SYDNEY HART</strong> - RS<br>Hart is an opposite on this team that helps create good balance in her team's offense. Her transition work helps her to build good momentum to the ball and when she is on time and balance in the air she can swing through the full range of the court effectively. One of the taller members of this team, Hart can put up a decent block on the right side as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>CAMRYN COOMER</strong> - S/RS<br>Coomer has good all-around skills that help her contribute for her team in a variety of ways. In sharing the setting role, she has good movement in her feet to get balance and uses good mechanics in her hand position and extension to be able to deliver the ball through all zones. When front row, she provides another viable arm for her team that can attack for points from both sides of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ADRIANA FIELDS</strong> - MH<br>Fields does good work in the middle on both sides of the ball. She makes herself available to swing through quick options with good footwork and awareness of the timing and spacing around both of their setters. Defensively, she prepares herself well to block and uses good eyework to get her hands up quickly as she has her fair share of stuffs this club season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>MAYA SOUNGPRADITH</strong> - DS/L<br>Defending primarily out of left back, Soungpradith plays the game with a calm but alert style. She is patient with her vision through the flow of points and has a quick first step to get her platform or hands on the ball in all directions, getting her team into good situations often for transition offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
