<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As club season kicks off, players have already been putting in the work to get stronger and elevate their game. One position that demands a unique mindset and relentless effort is the middle blocker. Playing this role requires strength, quickness, and precision—blocking all three positions, executing diverse routes, mastering timing, and, of course, staying synchronized with your setter. It's widely regarded as one of the toughest positions on the court, demanding both mental and physical resilience. The athletes stepping into this role are poised to make a massive impact this season. Their growth will be significant, and I can't wait to see how they rise to the challenge and dominate on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["724983"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67703a3981474"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor is a determined middle blocker who has been putting in the work to elevate her game. Watching her as a freshman last season, it was clear that she has the drive and dedication to succeed. Her footwork is exceptional, not only in her approach but also in her lateral movement during blocks. Taylor's hustle and precision on the court make her a standout player to watch as she continues to develop her skills.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["534965"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67703a39814de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Delena, coming from Bismarck and a key player for Capital Volleyball during club season, is a standout talent.

Coaches, take note—Delena is a player you won't want to miss this season!~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["724935"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67703a3981536"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malia is an absolute must-see player who stands out with her incredible skill and athleticism. Coming from a strong club program in Fargo, she consistently delivers impressive performances. Having watched her during school ball, I'm amazed by her vertical leap and exceptional hang time at the net. Malia is relentless in her attacks, keeping opponents guessing with her unpredictable play. Her deep corner hits are not only powerful but also executed with precision, making her a true force to be reckoned with on the court.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["724955"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":737162,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67703a398157a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Calleigh is a standout player who's poised for significant growth and impact this club season. Competing for Inspired Athletics, her exceptional technique and footwork are already among the best, and her drive to excel sets her apart.
