Sydney Dodson Sydney Dodson 6'1" | MB/RS Rockwall heath | 2028 TX , a Class of 2028 middle blocker and right side from Rockwall-Heath High School and Texas Advantage Volleyball Club, brings a 6’1″ frame to the recruiting landscape that college coaches will love. She plays the middle with active, engaged blocking instincts rather than passively going through the motions, and her ability to also operate on the right side tells you the volleyball understanding extends beyond a single role. What I really like about her blocking technique is how she truly extends her arms forward to seal the net away from would be scorers.  She has been taught well how to crunch her abs and have her shoulders strong during the block.  Her transition footwork out of her blocking position and into her approach is developing cleanly, which keeps her available as a consistent offensive threat rather than someone who only shows up when the set is perfect. Sydney is a 2028 front row prospect from a competitive Dallas-area program who brings the size, the positioning versatility, and the competitive foundation to be worth a serious college evaluation.Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot on our Official Watch List.

Sydney Dodson Sydney Dodson 6'1" | MB/RS Rockwall heath | 2028 TX , a fundamentally sound middle for TAV 16 Blue, excels with her disciplined footwork and smooth transition tempo, making her a reliable option on every play. Her consistent movement and awareness allow her to stay involved in the offense and contribute effectively, no matter the situation. Sydney complements her strong net presence with a solid serve, helping her team maintain momentum and stay in good standing even when she’s off the court. Her dedication to fundamentals and all-around consistency make her a valuable asset for TAV 16 Blue.

Syd has some great size to her frame and the game to back it up.  All too often we see players with height just take up space and not be very aggressive at the net.  Miss Dodson shows some promise as she attacks with tons of power from different angles.  I also like that she is not afraid of playing a little defense after her serve if that is what her team needs.  With more time, she will be able to develop her skills further and use that awesome power of hers on both ends of the game.  We like what we see right now and think she will perform wonderfully at the showcase.  There is definitely something to watch from her and we will be front and center.  You should also.
