<p>Club season starts tomorrow with the Mideast Power League, a JVA-based league that rotates locations and involves multiple clubs in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and the surrounding states. Today's edition of the preview talks about the other top-end pool for the 17/18 division, Elite Pool 2. There are plenty of kids available in this pool, but we'll spend this space talking about Indiana-based athletes. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">If length is your strength, then look no further than Miss Herman. Her long arms and long legs allow her to defend from pin to pin with ease, while attacking at a high point and making some blocks look irrelevant. Speaking of her attack point, she terminates well both in front of and behind the setter. Explosive on every jump, she is always ready to attack, and is tough to defend with the arsenal of shots she has at her disposal.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Although she's listed as a right side here, she has aspirations on being a six-rotation outside at the next level. Her hallmark is a constant and consistently high and hard attack, punishing undisciplined blocks regularly. Although her size might turn some larger schools off to recruiting her, there are plenty of smaller schools that would be more than interested in a six-rotation attacker that can punish blocks regularly.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the younger athletes in the Elite Pool division this weekend, Lila is a recent transfer from Circle City, and is a next-level talent in the middle. She has the whole package---size, speed, athleticism, volleyball acuity---there's no part of her game that DOESN'T scream college-ready. Already near the ten foot attack level, Lila uses a combination of brute strength and a high volleyball IQ to terminate from the middle. She had a tough high school season this past fall, so here's to hoping that her true talents come out to recruiters this club season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Big and physical, Miss Adams can be a middle or a right side at the next level. The biggest kid listed today, Samantha uses her broad shoulders and upper body strength to overpower opposing blockers regularly. Another big time athlete from Carmel, she's really shown her talents at our showcases in the past year, and it's only a matter of time before she earns that commitment.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Haidyn can be found as the lone Indiana representative on KIVA's top 17s team (Red). A springy and quick-footed middle, Haidyn's arm length make her look taller than her six foot frame might otherwise suggest. I've found over the past year or so that her blocking is more advanced than her attacking, and with exceptional training across the Ohio River, she'll perfect that transition attack in the middle.</p>
