Continue ReadingPrepDig hosted its SoCal Preview in San Marcos, featuring an all-female coaching staff. As the tournament director, I carefully selected my coaches to create an empowering experience for young athletes. My goal was to fill the gym with women who have successfully navigated the same journey as the attendees, believing that some of the most qualified coaches are those who have done the hard work themselves.
Together, my coaching team and I evaluated the talent and identified the following Coach’s Prospects.

“Savannah was one of those players you notice during every drill because of her eagerness to learn. She makes every kid around her want to play better because she’s GOOD but also supportive. During live gameplay, her biggest strength is being able to be useful in whatever the team is lacking whether it be taking more court defensively or there to have her front rows back on coverage. She’s fun to coach because of her learn and apply immediately attitude. ” Kiyhanna Dade

“Sera was amazing!! An extremely hard worker, supportive, has a great read on the ball, and was not afraid to get hit against the big hitters! Defense is an attitude and takes a lot of grit.

“Alba caught my eye immediately as a very good jump setter. I then seen her passing with Coach Kiy, where she also impressed me with her hustle on defense. What impressed me most about Alba was seeing her get one more hit or one more set in during small downtimes. Overall, she was a great athlete to watch and was a standout amongst a ton of great competition during the event.” Kantessa Bryant-Miller

“I was so impressed by her willingness and want to support the girls around her. She was their biggest cheerleader and hype girl. Along with being the support of the team, she was maintaining her aggressiveness throughout the entire camp, she was swinging at tough balls out of system, and continued to make the life of her setter an easier one. I loved her presence on the court and her drive for more!” Anilee Sher

PrepDig hosted its SoCal Preview in San Marcos, featuring an all-female coaching staff. As the tournament director, I carefully selected my coaches to create an empowering experience for young athletes. My goal was to fill the gym with women who have successfully navigated the same journey as the attendees, believing that some of the most qualified coaches are those who have done the hard work themselves.
