<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Dig Exposure Tour made its way to Illinois, held in Crystal Lake, hosted at [program_tooltip program_id='432009' first='Sky' last='High'] Athletic Center, bringing in amazing talents and prospects. With club season knocking at the door and the high school season behind us, players are gearing up, ready to showcase their skills to Colleges, Scouts, and Coaches in hopes of that ultimate prize. These defensive specialists may be smaller in stature, but they consistently anchored the back line and showed significant upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["918853"],"_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-694703c52903a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maya was ready for the day, competitive, energetic, and determined. Showing good footwork, laterally getting to the ball, opening up her stance, and giving the right amount of touch. Her technique is visible and effortless. She is quick and consistent. Passing is very efficient. I was very impressed with her service throughout the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["772345"],"_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-694703c5290a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This mighty warrior captured me with her will and skills. Consistently shows her fundamentals, grit, IQ, and edge on the floor, ready to lay out for every ball in her zone. Her pass and roll caught my eye during positionals to the setter, consisting of points with little or no movement over the pass or out of play. Good communication and speed are always on display. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["733974"],"_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-694703c5290f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chloe is a gamer! During mini-games and positionals, it was easy to see her abilities as a passer, her footwork, technique, hands, and will. Court awareness could be her best trait, as it enables her to understand the needs of her position and those around her. She gets to her spot with great footwork and speed, with the steadiness to keep the passes in play and not too tight on the spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["761189"],"_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-694703c529142"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pure energy and lays it out. Tired and in pain just from observing her, the flip side of that, such a wonder it is to have that player as a teammate, and protecting you in the rear. There is not a ball that is out of play; she is smart, headsy, quick on her toes, and tough. Imposing server as well, good toss, targets on point (no game positionals), no floating balls, and quickness getting into cover.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["761961"],"_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-694703c52918d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is your anchor. She is setting the tone for the game, including the intensity, expectations, and, likely, the outcome. She is all over the floor in a blur. Vocal leader on the floor, making sure her presence is felt. Serving is a very strong part of her game. Passing is consistent and efficient, always; the technique is almost flawless. Stays ready and on her toes to jump to the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
