<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In today's digital age, social media has become a game-changing platform for aspiring volleyball prospects seeking exposure. While recruitment will never depend solely on online visibility, the power of a well-crafted highlight video or a standout play captured on camera is undeniable. PrepDigCA is more than just a platform—it's a stage to showcase skills, connect with fans, and, most importantly, catch the attention of college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At PrepDigCA, we take pride in spotlighting prospects who excel both on and off the court, embracing the value of sharing their journey online.

A standout player for Forza1North 15-1, Chloe has also represented the U.S. on the USAV National Team Development Program (NTDP) U17 roster—a testament to her elite talent and potential to excel at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a recent highlight reel, Chloe showcased her remarkable ability to maintain tempo and precision while setting from long distances. This skill, she explains, is one of her greatest strengths, enabling her to place hitters in optimal positions while keeping plays fast and dynamic. A standout moment from the reel featured her signature "hold then fire" technique, a move where she positions her body to misdirect blockers and create one-on-one opportunities for her hitters. Chloe's tactical approach and ability to outsmart defenders make her an invaluable asset on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Off the court, Chloe's commitment to growth is evident. She devotes time to rigorous practice, private lessons, and strength training, ensuring she continues to refine both her mental and physical performance. As a vocal leader, her strong communication skills keep her teammates cohesive and focused, fostering a winning environment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Looking ahead, Chloe is excited about her upcoming opportunity to participate in NTDP training at the prestigious Triple Crown event. She is eager to learn from some of the nation's top coaches and compete alongside an elite group of players. With her technical skill, leadership, and drive, [player_tooltip player_id='510894' first='Chloe' last='Taylor'] is a rising star poised to leave a lasting mark on the volleyball world.~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFIqiNDP1v2/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PrepDigCA: @chloetaylor_vb Quote: SCVA&nbsp;#1&nbsp;2025 Setting Highlights!<br>[player_tooltip player_id='510894' first='Chloe' last='Taylor']&nbsp;#13&nbsp;S/RS - c/o 2028<br>@forza1north</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For more on Chloe, visit her <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19024344/Chloe-Taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl profile</a> or her <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19024344/Chloe-Taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PrepDig profile</a>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["508881"],"_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-67969be604bfe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='508881' first='Audrianna' last='Granatelli'], a Class of 2028 libero for both [program_tooltip program_id='510736' first='Sports' last='Academy'] Volleyball Club and Oaks Christian High School, continues to make her mark with her consistent and reliable play on the court. Her most recent highlight reel stands as a testament to her strong defensive presence, mental composure, and adaptability—key qualities that make her an invaluable asset to any team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What stood out to Audrianna in this reel was her defensive consistency, particularly in digging and serve receive. These clips emphasize her calm demeanor under pressure, along with her ability to make accurate passes for her setter. In addition, her out-of-system setting illustrates her decision-making skills and ability to create opportunities for her hitters, even in less-than-ideal situations. This adaptability is a hallmark of her game, as she can quickly adjust to challenging moments, offering support to her teammates and ensuring plays stay on track.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A key technique she focused on during the reel was staying mobile and positioning herself correctly to get under the ball for precise passes. Her clean release when hand setting out-of-system balls further highlights her commitment to providing her teammates with opportunities to score. By moving her feet and maintaining focus during challenging rallies, Audrianna shows her ability to stay composed and make smart decisions on the fly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Off the court, Audrianna has been honing her skills by working on improving her serve receive technique, specifically by taking more of the seam from her outside hitter. This allows her teammates to focus more on their transitions for hitting. She's also been refining her communication and game-reading abilities to anticipate plays and increase her overall court awareness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What Audrianna wants college coaches to know is her unwavering dedication to the team's success. She is always seeking ways to contribute, whether through vocal leadership or finding opportunities to support her teammates. Her work ethic, coachability, and team-first mentality define her as a player who is always striving to improve and help elevate her team's performance. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFI_sKryigd/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PrepDigCA: @audrianna_granatelli4 Quote: Had such an amazing time with my [program_tooltip program_id='510736' first='Sports' last='Academy'] 15 Premier team at the SCVA entry event!

Playing for CITY15GOLD, Raneighla demonstrates the true meaning of resilience and hard work, balancing her strong faith, academic excellence (4.3 GPA), and athletic performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When reflecting on her highlight reel, Raneighla initially wanted to showcase her kills and blocks first but ultimately realized that the reel captured all aspects of her game. From her serving ritual to her deep breaths, communication with her setter, and passing skills, the footage truly illustrates her dedication to becoming a more complete player. As a middle and right-side hitter, Raneighla emphasizes that being an effective passer and versatile player is vital. Her commitment to honing these areas boosts her confidence on the court, knowing that she has worked hard to develop these skills for every tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Raneighla's recent focus has been on improving her lateral movement, explosiveness on the block, and maximizing her arm swing. Studying setters' body positioning and hand placement has enabled her to read plays better and improve her blocking strategy. She's learned to target deep right or left corners for kills and to adjust her swing when facing strong blockers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What sets Raneighla apart is her mindset. She is driven not only by her love for the game but by her desire to glorify God in all aspects of her life. This belief fuels her relentless work ethic and determination to never become complacent, both as a player and a person.

As a 2024 15 Freedom USAV National Champion, Mirei's competitive spirit and determination shine through in her play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What stands out in Mirei's highlight reel is her impressive net defense, particularly her blocking abilities. Her keen sense of the game allows her to predict where the ball will go, using her height and long reach to close the block and successfully deflect the ball into the court. Her quick reaction time and excellent timing help her stay one step ahead, ensuring that hitters struggle to get past her. Additionally, Mirei's offensive game is well-rounded—she mixes up her hits with tips, high and deep shots, and roll shots, keeping the defense guessing and off-balance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mirei's recent focus has been on refining her timing and reaction speed through targeted drills, allowing her to improve her defense and offensive play.
