Five Freshman Hitters Ready to Take Over the Club Season

The 2029 class continues to raise the bar, and this club season is shaping up to be a big one for a group of young athletes ready to make real noise. These players aren't just showing potential — they're already producing, competing at a high level, and separating themselves early through skill, confidence, and impact on the court. With new club homes, national schedules, and growing roles, each of these 2029s is positioned for a breakout season that could put them firmly on the radar moving forward.   [player_tooltip player_id='772779' first='Averie' last='Gidge'] | Pin Hitter | Sierra Vista HS / Vegas Aces 15 Ren Averie wasted no time making her presence known at the high school level, earning Nevada 4A Player of the Year honors as a freshman while helping Sierra Vista capture a state title. That kind of production and confidence should carry right into club season with her new home at Vegas Aces. She's physical at the pin, plays high above the net, and can score from both the outside and right side. Averie is especially tough to defend thanks to her ability to tool the block and attack the line with purpose. She came onto the scene fast and fearless, and she looks primed to keep that same energy rolling through club.   [player_tooltip player_id='770015' first='Kenley' last='Williams'] | Middle Blocker | Arbor View HS / [program_tooltip program_id='636812' first='Vegas' last='United'] 15 Black   Kenley is a prime example of what consistent work looks like. After spending the summer locked in on individual training, she's quickly emerged as one of the top middles in the 2029 class. Standing at 6'0” with a 4.0 GPA, Kenley brings both physical presence and discipline to her game. She entered the high school season ready to compete right away, making an immediate impact at the junior varsity level while firmly putting herself on the varsity radar moving forward. Her improvement has been noticeable, and with her current trajectory, she's set up for a strong and potentially dominant club season.   [player_tooltip player_id='758734' first='La'Vhea' last='Hewitt'] | Middle Blocker | Mater Academy East / Sin City Rebels Purple La'Vhea has taken a big step forward over the past year, and it shows. After spending time on the outside, she transitioned to the middle and looked comfortable and confident throughout the high school season. Her timing at the net continues to improve, and she's becoming a real threat offensively and defensively. La'Vhea already stood out before, but her growth has elevated her into the conversation among the top middles in her class. She kicked off club season strong at the Icebreaker Classic: Holiday Edition, helping her team go 5-1, and looks ready to turn things up another level as the season continues.   [player_tooltip player_id='785154' first='Leilani' last='Rivas'] | Pin Hitter | Mater Academy East / Sin City Broncos 17U   Leilani has already proven she can compete at a high level, earning Second Team All-Conference honors and being named MVP of her high school varsity team as a freshman. Now playing up with Sin City Broncos 17U, she doesn't just hang, she stands out. From the first few swings, it's clear she's above average and understands the game. She's a true six-rotation hitter who can score from the back row, using her full body to drive the ball with power and purpose. Leilani finds deep corners, commits to running plays, and plays with confidence beyond her age. With the level she's competing at and the responsibilities she's taking on, this season has all the signs of being a true breakout for her.   [player_tooltip player_id='761167' first='Abigail' last='Bunyan'] | Pin Hitter | Faith Lutheran HS / Vegas Aces 15 Ren   Abby already looks the part of a Division I pin, and the skill level backs it up. At her height, she shows impressive body control and coordination for such a young athlete, which separates her from the pack early. She was dominant throughout the high school season on varsity, consistently overpowering opponents and finding ways to score when teams tried to slow her down. With Vegas Aces 15 Ren on a national schedule this club season, Abby is set to get a ton of exposure, and college coaches will take notice of her ability to play high-level volleyball right now. The talent is obvious, and with more eyes on her this year, opportunities like UA Next and even USA National Team looks are well within reach.   ---   Thank you for supporting Prep Dig Nevada.
