Sofia is one of those players who benefits most from this event. This was the first time both Jeremy and I had seen her play. She impressed me early in the Queens competition by whacking a couple of balls to the floor.

She plays for a smaller DC club. I have a difficult time finding them in AES. After one season playing for Jackson Reed she will get even more exposure. It would not surprise me to see some of the larger clubs start recruiting her after she shows off her skills at Jackson Reed.

Jackson Reed is the strongest public school in DC for volleyball. A couple years ago they became the first DC public school to win the DC state championship. Normally St. Johns and lately Georgetown Day have dominated this tournament for the last decade.

Sofia’s mother is from Australia, so she is still getting used to the club volleyball environment here in the Chesapeake area. Enjoy the chaos that awaits.
