Many of Premier Gold's players can play multiple positions.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Starting off with setter [player_tooltip player_id='458126' first='Ava' last='Waters'] who is so smooth. She is one of the most talented setters in the Class of 2027. She can place the ball anywhere on the floor whether in system or out. Waters is quick and strong as well. She has great floor command and brings energy to her team. She also makes smart decisions and is a great floor defender. Ava also has precision serving and can place a great float serve anywhere.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5 '11 " Setter and Right side hitter Coco Janssen can do it all. She has great hands and long levers and is very athletic. The lefty can hit down the line as well and takes good shots.

She too can jump and also has an aggressive swing from the pin.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another 16 Open to keep tabs on is VCN's 16 Elite. The glue to this team is 5'9” Minnesota Commit Mckinley Moser. She is so athletic and makes setting look effortless. Moser is calm and collected and has great leadership on the court.
