Makala Baker Makala Baker 5'10" | S/RS Rancho Cucamonga | 2030 CA , a Class of 2030 setter from Rancho Cucamonga High School and Forza1 North Volleyball Club, caught your eye immediately with her left-handed delivery and natural athleticism, which was a combination that is genuinely rare at any level. Left-handed setters create a different look for hitters and can be disorienting for opposing defenses and Makala already seems to understand how to use that advantage. Her ball-handling showed touch and intent, and she moved well in both directions, which tells you her footwork fundamentals are being developed the right way. What was most encouraging was her feel for the game at this young age. She was scanning the court and making reads rather than just running a predictable pattern. For a player this young, her athletic ceiling is the headline, but her processing speed is what will keep her ahead of the curve as the game speeds up around her. Forza1 North is a program that has consistently developed setters, and she looks like someone who is going to benefit from that environment. Makala is a very intriguing young prospects in her class and coaches should put her on their board now. Please help us congratulate her on earning Top Performer honors at this showcase event.
