<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Backcourt bros have a ton of pressure on them. They not only have to be able to receive some of the nastiest serves around, but they are constantly on the move trying to cover a ton of ground with various tips, dumps, pushes, and fast flying attacks coming at them. While there were several great liberos on the weekend, the following a few that stood out!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Remember to follow me on Instagram @Prepdigamy and Facebook @PrepDig Amy for up to date event coverage, stories, and more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["777483"],"_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-682ded1c264f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stepek is a straight up stud. This 2027 libero has one of the quickest reads on the ball and fast movements that I have seen with a libero this season. One of the best ways to describe her is “fluid” - she knows where to be, how to react, and how to position her body defensively to come up with big plays. She communicates well on the court, is solid on serve receive, covers a ton of ground, and comes up with incredible plays and saves that are jaw dropping. Coaches looking for a 2027 libero should put her on the short list. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["777492"],"_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-682ded1c26556"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I watched Aukland for a while during pool play. She has quick feet, a good read on the ball, and isn't afraid to sacrifice her body on the ground to save a ball. Aukland was also solid on serve receive. She does a good job moving her feet, creating good angles, and passing balls to target. She kept her team in system so they could run their offense effectively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["777493"],"_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-682df1271a47f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Speed is the name of the game with Dorger. She is all over the court. She gets her hands on many balls that simply didn't think were possible. She does a fantastic job on reading the opposing team and is able to pick up setter dumps and those awful rolls and tips from attackers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["725344"],"_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-682df1271a50f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I had not had the opportunity to see Bomkamp in action before the Grand Slam tournament, and was I missing out. Bomkamp is a beast in the back court. She does a solid job on serve receive, passing off her midline and creating great angles to deliver passes to target. She also works hard on the defensive end. She moves quickly to pick up tips and dumps and covers her attackers efficiently recycling many balls in the process. Bomkamp is also an excellent server. She had several aces on the weekend by proficiently serving zones and kissing the line in the deep corners.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["771245"],"_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-682df1271a59d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have seen Chesney play a few times this year and she keeps getting better and better. She has impressive skills at such a young age, especially since she playing up a year. Chesney did a solid job at the Grand Slam tournament running through the short balls and tracking down out of system passes. She also did a great job in out of system passing allowing her pins to take big swings to generate kills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Backcourt bros have a ton of pressure on them. They not only have to be able to receive some of the nastiest serves around, but they are constantly on the move trying to cover a ton of ground with various tips, dumps, pushes, and fast flying attacks coming at them. While there were several great liberos on the weekend, the following a few that stood out!
