<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2024 is heading into an exciting club season where many of these athletes will continue their college recruiting process.&nbsp; Some athletes may be starting, others are in the heat of it, and a few have already said yes as to where we will be continuing their academic and volleyball careers.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm going to zero in on the 17s from [program_tooltip program_id='428591' first='FC' last='Elite'], the club out of the Appleton, Wisconsin area that is rising among the ranks of top clubs in the Midwest and will have their sights set on some lofty goals in the 2023 season.  This group of athletes had a big 2022 where their 16 White team won MEQ 16 American, 16 Navy won the National Division at USAV, and 18 Elite who had some 2024s were in the final four of 18 Open.  We will see their 17s squads at the Prep Dig Resolution where plenty will be looking to get a big start to the season.  Here's a quick look at the [program_tooltip program_id='428591' first='FC' last='Elite'] 17s/2024s. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*[program_tooltip program_id='428591' first='FC' last='Elite'] 18 Elite will not be at the PD Resolution, but will start season at Windy City Qualifier and Northern Lights Qualifier</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Committed </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='122483' first='Ella' last='Demetrician'] -
