MVPs of the NorCal PrepDig Top250 Showcase – Part 1

On December 7th, I had the privilege of attending the NorCal PrepDig Top250 Showcase at [program_tooltip program_id='545945' first='Rage' last='Volleyball Club'] in Ripon, CA. As with every showcase I attend, the event wasn't just about highlighting athletic abilities – it was about celebrating the complete athlete. Through Coachable247, I introduced a unique element by asking coaches to select their own MVPs. This provided a meaningful opportunity to incorporate the Networking component from the Coachable247 Playbook into our showcase interviews.   This approach mirrors the way college coaches evaluate prospects – by observing, listening, and identifying what truly sets players apart. It's not always about the flashiest skills or tallest players; instead, it's about finding the rare combination of talent, work ethic, and character. Coaches understand what they're seeking, and discovering a player who embodies these qualities is incredibly rewarding.   The beauty of this MVP selection process was that each coach had the freedom to define what stood out to them most – whether it was raw talent, leadership, hustle, or the ability to elevate the team without the ball.    Coach Bryant selected [player_tooltip player_id='730227' first='Hanna' last='Raczynska'] as his MVP, impressed by her adaptability and willingness to play any position needed on her court. Hanna seamlessly stepped into various roles, excelling in each one while maintaining a positive and upbeat attitude. Her ability to dominate in every position she played showcased her versatility and skill set.   What truly stood out was Hanna's genuine enjoyment of the game. She approached the entire event with a smile and an infectious energy that elevated both her performance and the morale of those around her. Her enthusiasm and versatility made her a standout player and an invaluable teammate.

Additionally, Ava's aggressive play-style demonstrated her commitment to staying engaged and making a difference in every moment.

Kaitlyn's serve stood out as a powerful weapon, and her ability to execute plays efficiently in out-of-system situations (OOS) demonstrated her versatility. “Kaitlyn is not only quick and technically sound, but she's also one of the sweetest players on the court,” Coach Gabby said. Her balance of skill, hard work, and positive attitude made her a key player and a joy to watch throughout the showcase.

Zoie's bright attitude was evident from the moment she stepped on the court, as she continuously uplifted herself and her teammates with her encouraging spirit. “Watching her play brought a smile to my face,” Coach Cam remarked. Zoie's decision-making in her sets was consistently sharp, and every ball she touched seemed to turn into something special. “Her consistency and positive perspective on her position were remarkable,” Coach Cam added. Zoie's ability to stay upbeat while executing at a high level makes her an exceptional player, and Coach Cam believes any coach would be lucky to have her on their team. Keep an eye on this one – her future is bright!
