These players have already separated themselves, and every time we see them, the momentum only builds. Some of them are already earning varsity experience, competing against high school upperclassmen, and holding their own in moments that demand composure and confidence. Others are being selected for elite opportunities like NCR High Performance, proving that their potential is being recognized far beyond their local gyms.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What makes this group special is how they play the game. They aren't just swinging hard—they're attacking with intention. They see the block, manipulate defenders, and score with placement and timing. Their approach mechanics, court awareness, and ability to perform in transition look more like seasoned varsity players than eighth graders. These are the players you want to be watching this club season—because they're not just the future of the game, they're already changing it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["896319"],"_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-69632500db776"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='896319' first='Lauryn' last='Peterreins'] | 5'11" | Outside/Middle</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='896319' first='Lauryn' last='Peterreins'] already plays above the tape with a presence that stops people mid-match. At 5'11", she brings length, explosion, and a whip-fast arm that allows her to score in every zone. What separates Lauryn is how she blends power with precision—she can crush through a block, then turn around and carve the deep corner when defenders shift. Whether she's attacking off a fast tempo or working inside, her timing and body control are advanced for her age. Lauryn isn't just swinging—she's reading the floor and choosing how to win each rally. This club season is going to be electric for her, and she's a player you absolutely need to get eyes on. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em><strong>Check Her Attacks Here:</strong></em> <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2SizDU">http://www.hudl.com/v/2SizDU</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["846318"],"_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-69632500db7e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='846318' first='Nia' last='Talley'] | 5'9" | Outside Hitter</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='846318' first='Nia' last='Talley'] attacks with edge and confidence. Her arm speed jumps, her approach is explosive, and she never hesitates to take a big swing against a set block. What makes Nia special is how quickly she processes the game—she sees seams, recognizes late hands, and adjusts her shot in the air. You'll see her rip cross-court, then follow it with a smart line shot or roll into open space. Nia plays like a scorer who <em>expects</em> to win the point. This club season, she's going to turn heads because she already understands how to score, not just swing. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em><strong>Check Her Attacks Here:</strong></em> <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2SzSm4">http://www.hudl.com/v/2SzSm4</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["932078"],"_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-69632500db838"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='932078' first='Kinley' last='Tupper'] | 5'8" | Middle/Outside</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='932078' first='Kinley' last='Tupper'] brings bounce, rhythm, and creativity to the net.

Kinley uses the entire court—sharp angles, deep corners, and perfectly timed tips are all part of her toolbox. She never looks rushed, even in transition, and consistently finds ways to win points. Her ability to elevate and make smart offensive decisions makes her a nightmare matchup at her age. This club season is set up for Kinley to be a breakout name. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899013"],"_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-69632500db884"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='899013' first='Fiona' last='Medema'] | 5'10" | Middle/Outside</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='899013' first='Fiona' last='Medema'] plays big and fast.
