I moved from court to court with one goal in mind: to identify the athletes who consistently made an impact and elevated the level of play around them. These are the players who stood out for their skill, energy, and leadership.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":""} --> <p>College coaches preparing for Nationals or building their camp invite lists, these are the names you will want to keep on your radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":""} --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774596"],"_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-682378c0a466f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='774596' first='Keira' last='Nelson'] is a name to know. </strong>She is a powerful leaper with excellent timing and consistently clean ball contact. Her ability to elevate above the net and deliver controlled, aggressive swings made her a standout. On one particular play, she unloaded a heavy swing, then tracked the overpass, reset her feet, and delivered a sharp bounce that left no doubt. Her efficiency and athleticism are paired with a confident, composed presence on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keira brings energy to every touch and plays with a strong sense of purpose. She doesn't just go through the motions, she competes with intent. Whether she's attacking in transition or staying ready at the net, Keira's aggression and ability to execute under pressure make her a high-level prospect to keep on your radar. You can see her compete next at the SCVC/Mizuno College Showcase on May 30 in Gardena. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["532488"],"_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-682378c0a4704"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='532488' first='Leilah' last='Abrams'] continues to prove herself as one of the most consistent options on the outside. Every time I've seen her compete, she executes with confidence and clarity. She swings with purpose, showing the ability to hit through the block when needed or adjust with finesse to find sharp angles and open space. Her volleyball IQ is evident in her shot selection and ability to stay composed in high-pressure moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What makes Leilah even more valuable is her all-around game. She contributes just as effectively in serve-receive and back row defense, providing stability and reliability in every rotation. Her steady presence, paired with her offensive versatility, makes her a dependable go-to hitter who can be trusted to deliver across all phases of play. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["532646"],"_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-682378c0a4783"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='532646' first='Zaniyah' last='Corneille'] continues to make a strong impression with her steady growth and high ceiling. This club season, she has shown consistent development and a growing confidence in her game. Zaniyah plays with poise at the net, staying composed in tight moments and bringing reliable energy to every touch. She is athletic, focused, and shows great body control when transitioning between offense and defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Her presence on the court is both steady and impactful. She contributes on both sides of the ball and is beginning to assert herself as a dependable option in high-pressure situations. With continued training and experience, Zaniyah has the tools to become one of the next big names to emerge from the Northern California scene. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["730226"],"_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-682378c0a47fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='730226' first='Gunjan' last='Joshi'] is the kind of player who commands attention every time she steps on the court.

Defensively, she covers the court with grit and determination, showing a strong commitment to keeping plays alive. Her vocal leadership and relentless work ethic make her a competitor you want on your side and a prospect to keep an eye on. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["764592"],"_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-682378c0a4879"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='764592' first='Kaleigh' last='Morasci'] continues to impress with her quick arm and offensive versatility.
