<p class="text-gray-700">Schroeder will be with the Texas Legacy 15 Adidas team that will compete in the 15s Division. She's an excellent defender, who can occupy any of three spots on the back row and stands out for her ability to read opponents and adjust her positioning accordingly. Schroeder also does well with her passing, moving quickly to the ball and using her ball control to deliver it to her setter. The libero can also make an impact with her serving, being very accurate with it and doing a good job of exploring opponents' weak spots.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lendon and her [program_tooltip program_id='538544' first='Katy' last='United'] 16 Adidas team are entered in the event's 16s Division. In her first year with the club, she serves as their back row general, leading with words and actions and performing at a high level. Rendon is very reliable and consistent in serve-receive, taking charge of a large portion of the court and demonstrating calm and superior technique to efficiently handle the different serves that go her way. The libero also delivers on defense, making an impact with her positioning and ball control. Her floater can be an important weapon for her team, as it often generates aces and gets opponents out of system.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ludwig will be in action with the Xcel VB 171 Adidas team in the 17s Division. She converted into libero after starting as an outside hitter a few years ago and has developed into a standout in the position. Her defensive instincts are excellent, and consistently put her into spots to make plays. Ludwig is very quick when moving for the ball on the back row and doesn't shy away when a big swing comes her way, using her body very well to take the pressure off of it. A long libero, she uses her increased range in serve-receive and is very disciplined with her positioning when covering her hitters.</p>
