<p><strong>Thank you to our subscribers for supporting exclusive coverage of Coach Kiy's Grand Opening and College Camps in Corona, California.</strong> This event was designed for athletes with serious goals and next-level ambition. Inside her brand-new, state-of-the-art facility, current Division I athletes didn't just lead drills, they set the tone. Their intensity, precision, and championship mindset offered a real-time blueprint of what it takes to succeed beyond high school.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But what made this camp truly unforgettable? A group of younger athletes didn't just show up, they showed out. Competing shoulder-to-shoulder with D1 talent, six standout players proved they belong in that same conversation. With poise, athleticism, and confidence, they matched the tempo and rose to the moment.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>College coaches, take note, these six athletes are ready for the big stage.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">What [player_tooltip player_id='454603' first='Asia' last='Udo-Ema'] unlocked inside this training lab was something I haven't seen from her yet. That alone is exciting because it confirms what many have suspected, her best volleyball is still ahead of her. Some athletes hold their own in a high-stakes setting. Asia didn't just keep pace, she elevated. Surrounded by current Division I talent, she rose to the level of competition with composure, hunger, and a visible shift in her game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Reflecting on the experience, Asia shared, “It was an amazing experience to play with D1 athletes today. I got to learn a lot from them and overall just made great friends that I hope to see again. The competitive spirit they bring to the court was awesome, and I love playing in that type of environment.”</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='700675' first='Baylee' last='Wilson'] continues to prove why she's one of the most consistent hitters on the circuit. Across multiple events and tournaments, her game remains sharp, reliable, and remarkably mature for an eighth grader. With a strong beach background, Baylee brings versatility to the court, capable of playing any position, even stepping in as a setter when needed. Her all-around skill set and court awareness set her apart.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>“Practicing volleyball with Division I players pushed my game to the next level by constantly challenging me to rise to their intensity and skill,” Baylee shared. “I loved playing alongside the fast-paced play and seeing their advanced techniques that I can incorporate into my game. These players have high expectations, which pushed me to sharpen my game and push past my comfort zone. This helped me build both physical and mental toughness. Being in that competitive environment inspired me to elevate my game and learn what it takes to perform at the next level. I loved it.”</p>

There's a spark in her game that's hard to miss, she competes with intensity, but also with joy. Her love for volleyball shows in every point, every hustle play, and every quick recovery. Saige brings personality, energy, and a readiness for the next level that's impossible to overlook.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='517654' first='Olivia' last='Karvelis'] works hard and competes with heart. She's quick to get low, relentless in pursuit of every ball, and always playing with a smile. Watching her face light up while competing alongside collegiate athletes was a reminder of how much she loves the game. Her passion is unmistakable, and her work ethic is just as strong.</p>

<p>“Training with Division I college athletes this weekend was an amazing experience and one of the best training sessions I've ever had,” Olivia shared. “As the libero for Coast 14-1, I've played in some big matches this year, third at Triple Crown NIT and winning 14 Open at Red Rock Rave, but this camp pushed me in a new way. The speed, strength, intensity, and focus the college players bring is next level. It made me play sharper, think quicker, and trust myself more. I also noticed how they stay confident and keep talking and smiling, even after mistakes. That mindset really stuck with me. I'm looking forward to taking this back to my team. I will be heading into Junior Nationals in Dallas feeling more prepared and confident than ever, and I can also visualize myself playing D1 in the future.”</p>

<p>“I had the absolute best time training with Coach Kiy and a fantastic group of D1 athletes this past weekend,” Sadie shared. “The biggest takeaway I got was how much energy is created and fostered in an environment where everyone is pushing each other to play the best we can, at the highest level possible. This opportunity gave me great feedback on things I can do to succeed at a higher level and reminded me of the things I do well, but how to raise the bar of those things as well. Going back to my own practices, I'll be bringing more energy and a higher level of play to continue to foster that competitive environment in my club and school teams. Thank you so much Coach Kiy for hosting such an amazing camp with the best people!”</p>
