Houston Freshman Showcase Top Performers Vol 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Freshman Showcase in Houston did not disappoint as there were some amazing young volleyball players giving their all in front of our scouts and court coaches.  I thoroughly enjoyed every second of watching them perform because it was their first opportunity for me to get them on our radar for State Ranking purposes.  Let's meet a few of the players who earned a Top Performer award from their awesome individual play.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

our Texas State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet.  She plays volleyball at Weiss High School and also for the Austin Juniors volleyball club.  A lot really stands out about this phenom.  First of all, she has the frame and power already at a young age that will bring a lot of attention her way as a recruit.  Secondly, she is one of those setters that plays elite level defense like a libero out of the right back zone.  Her base is super strong and always balanced at the point of contact.  Her platform angles redirect the ball to a perfect location for her libero to take the second contact and set up attackers in a position to succeed.  As a setter, I love how she uses her natural athleticism and speed to be in perfect position to deliver the ball to her attackers.  She is super smooth as she moves around the court tracking passes and transitioning to offense.  Equipped with soft hands and precise location, this young lady needs to be on everyone's radar already as a freshman.  There is no doubt that she will eventually be listed on our State Ranking List.  Stay tuned to see when she makes it and where she falls on it.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award at our showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

Texas State Rankings but that is only because we have not released them yet.  She plays volleyball at Montgomery High School and also for the Skyline The Woodlands volleyball club.  During the individual skills portion of the event, Kitty stood out immediately for her hard driven footwork that allowed her to be perfectly on time for a zero tempo quick attack.  When we discussed spacing and timing principles with the middles, she was extremely receptive and applied what was learned.  This speaks volumes to how coachable she is as a player.  Despite there only being a few middles in attendance, she stepped up and worked out beyond expectations when her squad needed her the most.  She did not complain and showed just how high her motor is and how strong her cardio is.  Being highly skilled on both offense and defense at the net, she is someone that we should all keep our eye on moving forward.  In my professional opinion, she has tons of potential to improve and will be a show-stopper in a few years.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award at our showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

our Texas State Rankings.  She plays volleyball for Klein High School and also for the [program_tooltip program_id='462263' first='TAV' last='Houston'] volleyball club.  I absolutely loved the showing that Kay had at the showcase.  Her movement on the court looked super fluid and she used her jump set like a seasoned upperclassman.  The game just seems to slow down for her as she processes everything very quickly.  Her out of system back set location while she moves forward is elite.  The way that she puts her right side attacker in a perfect position to kill the ball is high level.  Everything about her play tells me that she is ready to step up to the varsity level soon.  I can tell that she has been coached well due to her high volleyball IQ.  We think she has tons of promise to be an elite setter.  We will be watching her journey very closely and you should as well.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award at our showcase.   </p> <!--
