Most of these kids already are in high school. Their recruiting processes are underway in various stages. Now that we're at the end of the season, however, it's a good time to check in on the 14Us, many of whom will be freshmen in a few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I did just that last week at the USAV Junior National Tournament in Indianapolis. The age group impressed and foreshadowed what should be strong contributions to the prep scene in 2026 and beyond. It seemed fitting to highlight those student-athletes and a good idea to break them down positionally.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a closer look at outside hitters that performed well on the sport's biggest stage:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["918791"],"_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-6a4a8e7cd563f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Like everyone else in this rundown, Cinadr has a case to be seen as the top player in Iowa's 3030 Class. That's good news for the folks at Assumption just like it was for Select 14s, which won the Iowa Regional and finished 11th in the National Division at USAV Nationals. Cinadr competes hard through six rotations with a powerful swing from the pin and agility to defend well in the back row. Jumping ability, lateral quickness and sharp reflexes aid in a successful operation as do strong fundamentals. The defending champion Knights lost a lot to graduation, but young players teaming with key returnees could keep the train rolling in Davenport.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["960234"],"_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-6a4a8fc05dbc9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The explosive athleticism hits you in the face when you watch Coleman play the game of volleyball. She leaps up into a high vertical at the pin, ending points with advanced power for her age. Coleman hangs well in the air off the bounce before delivering the knockout blow. Jumping ability and timing lead to success in defending at the net. Quick-twitch athleticism and lateral quickness are combined in making Coleman a reliable performer in the back row. While she already plays at a high level, Coleman is packed with the potential to develop quite a bit more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1003397"],"_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-6a4a9239807fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last season, Street played up an age group and was one of the better players on a CIA squad that qualified for USAV Nationals. She stayed back with her age group this year and led the program's 14s back to Nationals for a second season in a row. Street is fun to watch. She's an excellent athlete but also a fierce competitor that goes all out all of the time. Street is a handful for opponents when lining up at the pin. She jumps really well and generates plenty of power in swing. A high volleyball IQ puts Street in position to deliver all around the court and ability helps her finish the job. She defends well in the back row.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["936330"],"_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-6a4a928bc99ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I happened upon Walker's court when the snow was flying during January in Milwaukee. The tall, long-armed outside hitter was hammering away with a heavy swing at overwhelmed opponents in her age group. The block also was imposing. Skill and agility were present when defending in the back row. I was interested to see how Walker would perform at the USAV Nationals against stronger competition. She did super well and stood out among the top players on her court throughout the tournament. It was a break out on the club level with one on the prep scene not far behind.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1003402"],"_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-6a4a930b097d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adrenaline 14s put together a memorable season, growing together and qualifying for the USAV Nationals. The roster was filled with interesting names ready to tackle what should be productive prep careers in the fall. The multi-sport athlete that also stands out in basketball and softball will get the ball rolling with volleyball. What she showed in club this season could translate to contributions for the Saints in 2026. Joens is advanced for her age, bringing a heavy swing and physicality to the court. She's a strong defender at the net and has a good feel for the flow of the match. Joens is definitely one to watch moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
