Her ability to consistently find her middles and keep them involved in the offense helps create a dynamic offense and free up her pins.

Her power and technique through the ball helps deliver out of system sets to the right locations to give her hitters an opportunity to take a swing. Even though she is shorter, Dixie is not afraid to assert herself and be offensive when she sees the opportunity to do so. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just a reminder to all volleyball athletes in Utah — with club season now in full swing, I'd love to feature more of you!&nbsp;<strong>If you'd like to be included, please send me your club schedule along with some basic information about yourself: your club team, position, and coach.&nbsp;</strong>Feel free to also share a little bit about your story and who you are!&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With how much volleyball has grown in Utah, it's getting tougher to keep track of all the talented athletes out there, so don't hesitate to reach out!
