Kendall has been doing great for Club One up to this point and really seems to be one of the best passers in her division so far. She is constantly passing the ball to the setter and keeping her team in system whether that is out of serve receive, defense, or those long rallies that require constant good passes to win those. She just seems to always get her arms on the ball and in the right angle to pass it.

As for her defense, my recommendation is to avoid her but some teams have not gotten the memo as she will dig, dig, and dig these teams into submission. She seems to see the game at a slower pace over others and anticipates so well to get her feet to the proper spot to pass. This also shows up in her serve receive as she gets her feet and platform to the ball to pass 2’s and 3’s throughout a match. Has great footwork, ball knowledge, and great technique. All the ingredients needed for a great libero and Kendall has really shown that at Nationals so far!

Kendall Ferguson Kendall Ferguson 5'5" | DS/L Highland | 2030 AZ was the definition of steady and consistent throughout the showcase—everything you want to see from a high-level defender. She brought a calm, dependable presence to the backcourt and was someone her teammates could rely on point after point. No matter the pace of the match or the pressure of the moment, Kendall remained composed and focused, consistently providing quality touches that helped keep her team organized.

Perhaps her most impressive quality was her relentless pursuit of the ball. Kendall simply refuses to let the ball hit the floor without a fight. Whether it was a ball driven deep into the court or a play that required extra effort to keep alive, she consistently found a way to extend rallies and give her team another opportunity. That combination of toughness, consistency, and determination makes her the type of defender every coach wants anchoring the back row. As she continues to develop, her dependable skill set and competitive mindset should allow her to make an impact at a very high level.

Kendall is a libero who has steadily put herself on the radar with a mature approach to the position and an advanced feel for the game at a young age. She is reliable in first contact situations, moves well defensively, and brings a noticeable level of toughness and consistency to the backcourt. Her platform control and communication continue to trend upward, giving her strong long-term upside. With continued development and exposure, she is a player evaluators will continue tracking closely moving forward.
