A player who i have seen play all around before as well. Makes great plays on defense and can really kill the ball from anywhere on the court. She was playing MB and has some great overpass kills and some explosive kills from that position. Has a great serve and a lot of all around talent. Fun to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Was great to see some good volleyball this past weekend. Tourneys are happening every where, were into the heart of the club season. Always some talent to see whatever gym tournament you are at. Volleyball clubs keep up the good work the coaching and long hours are helping these young ladies out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

I had a chance to check out some volleyball this past weekend. One stop was at the WCPL at 1st Alliance training center. I saw a lot of good teams competing and they were some great games to watch. The other location was a smaller tournament called Forest City in Rockford. There was talent that stuck out and some really solid teams who were competing!
