Big South 14U Live: Setters Learning to Run the Show

At the Big South Qualifier, the 14U division is all about growth, confidence, and learning how to manage the flow of the game. Setters at this level are beginning to understand tempo, communication, and how to keep their teams organized through both in-system and out-of-system play. While consistency is still developing, the willingness to take control and make decisions is what separates players early. These setters stood out for how they handled those responsibilities throughout the day.    Khloe shows a good understanding of where to be on the court and works to get to the ball quickly.
