<p>MVA has been producing a lot of top young prospects in recent classes and the 2022 club season is a chance to see more breakout.</p>
<p>The 16 & 15 Black squads each have some players with high ceilings and a lot of size to work with.</p>
<p>Here’s a look at what you can see from those two units throughout the winter and spring.</p>
<h4><strong>16 Black</strong></h4>
<p>This group is full of players that got a lot of varsity experience this past fall, which should lead to some good things on the floor during club season. The lone 2025 member to move up is <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="156337" first="Layla" last="Visser"]</strong> on the outside. She’s a very explosive player that can touch 10’4” with a 6-foot frame. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="110333" first="Isabel" last="Whittaker"]</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="176597" first="Sophia" last="Allen"]</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="110307" first="Morgan" last="Kaiser"]</strong> are also available on the outside. Allen can slide into the middle to play alongside <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="176602" first="Samantha" last="Clemens"] </strong>and <strong>Melina Teunis</strong>. At setter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="110284" first="Hannah" last="Bredeweg"] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="110324" first="Grace" last="Spoelma"]</strong> are options, with Spoelma also able to shift to DS. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="110322" first="Taylor" last="Smaka"]</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="110290" first="Hope" last="Davies"] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="176606" first="Grace" last="Steiner"]</strong> round out the defensive options in the back row to give the team a well-rounded lineup. 16 Black has a lot of pieces to work with, it will be about finding the right mixture to really get them to hit their stride. Look for this team to really show a lot of improvement by season’s end.</p>
<h4><strong>15 Black</strong></h4>
<p>A solid group of 2025 prospects make up this team. Leading the way could be outside/middle <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="156303" first="Alissa" last="Hulst"]</strong>, who stands 6’2” and is coming into her own in regards to using her length to her advantage. This could be a really big club season for Hulst. <strong>Adelee Kaiton </strong>was a California import from last year that is an athletic option on the outside, but can also play setter. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="156314" first="Kylie" last="Loehfelm"]</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="156333" first="Jillian" last="Swierbut"]</strong> and <strong>Lucy VanDrunen </strong>will also be primary outsides, but all have the ability to move around to different positions. The same can be said for primary middles <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="156318" first="Emmanuella" last="Neff"]</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="156334" first="Ella" last="Taatjes"] </strong>and <strong>Grace Allen</strong>. At setter, <strong>Grace Riedel</strong> and <strong>Cali Stevons </strong>will handle the position, but can shift to the back row as well. <strong>Madison Peal</strong> is a standout libero that will give 15 Black a strong defensive game. If the hitters can develop around this strong defense, 15 Black can make a lot of waves in the state.</p>
