<p>While looking at my notes from 2 weekends ago I couldn't let you miss some of these names who I took notes on! I also dug into a little bit more on them so you can hear more about these players. Different positions different skills but all these players would help your squad. Showed me skill that I didn't want you to miss.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Niemi is just a really sound player. Always seems to be in the right spot and makes the right play. Really good passer, strong platform, will show and take on serve receive. Just under control but not afraid to get low or on the ground to dig or get an angle on a pass. Soft touch with passes whether with platform or hands. Player you like in the back row!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I was watching Grace and she just seemed to get it. She was having fun but can tell her IQ is really good. Seemed to make the right sets. Good hands, can jump set, back set you name it. Seemed longer than her height suggested. Saw her take some swings too and profile says plays some RS as well, I can see that! Blocks well at the net. Grace is someone who can really show out if keeps putting in the work. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">My notes mentioned Bauer making some precise sets to hitters having soft hands and being under control. Never seemed to be in panic, just made her plays. Some nice back sets and cross court sets with good strength not weak. Good length and just made consistent good sets. Worked hard and was there to compete. Setter to keep an eye on.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ainsley played well when I saw her. My notes mentioned she moved really well, good IQ on the court, was scrappy on D, and a good platform when passing. Saw her make multiple good passes off of hits or serve receive. Quick feet and covers the court well. The way she competed drew me into watching her more. Probably will have a great school season heading into club. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ava is someone I couldn't leave off because anytime I was at her court she was making a good solid swing on the ball. Good size which helps her get up and block and get on top of the ball as well. She's one of those who puts a good swing on the ball from any spot in the front row. Some change their swing she just lets loose. Also I noticed good passer as well saw her field some hits and serves. Good overall player. </p>

<p>So many good players across 2 different states. Wrote about a lot of them. But I had some names I didn't want you to miss so I'm glad I got them out. So much talent to see, and wanted to make sure you heard about these 5 who stood out to me over the 2 showcases in Illinois and Wisconsin. Good luck to everyone in their school season, keep working, grinding and getting better!</p>
