14U Emerging Playmakers Making The Game Thrilling: PD Gauntlet

<!-- wp:quote --> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Setting the stage and controlling the tempo was a strong group of setters and liberos, either creating plays or directing the action throughout the gym at Center Court Sports Complex in Waukesha, WI.

She can set, run a high tempo, play on the net, block, and cover in the back. She uses her length to extend on her sets extremely well, gets great height with accuracy, and has good decision-making. She is quick with her vision, has quality dumps if you blink.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["777155"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a27ce13d9ce8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ashlee is a student of her craft. There is nothing wrong with being very good at everything while having a worker's mentality. This seems to fit with Ashlee. She is a worker bee, she does everything, one arm digs, having steady hands, consistent sets, and being a high targeted server at the line.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["993554"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a27ce13d9bc7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tapping dancing with chopping feet, as I call it, feet that are always moving and ready. Harper is ready to move, reading the floor and tracking the ball at all times. She has good passing and hustles with no hesitation. Not afraid to lay it all out.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["846183"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a27ce13d9da2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blake is deadly from the line, delivering aces like a dealer. Good toss, target, and delivery, she is on point and often. Her setting is more with her touch, understanding she has strength. Putting the right amount of touch on the ball without having to use her athleticism as much is a real skill. Back set is a true highlight.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Reagan Lam","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32561","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"[program_tooltip program_id='429081' first='1st' last='Alliance VBC']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a27ce13d9e9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing on a team that showcased a lot of various looks, Reagan didn't flutter or have a misstep. She knows her hitters and puts the ball right in their hand. She is steady and consistent. Plays fast and smart, is one step ahead. Even shifts to the right side to put points on the board.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["781110"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a27ce13d9f0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watching FC Elite, and you will spot Addison, even with all the giants on the floor. She is the coach on the floor; she is making sure everyone is where they should be, and coaches are talking through her as well. She is impressive. I became a fan watching her track and cover the floor on angles you only see at times in years later. Her game is advanced.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Bailyn Olerich","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Iowa Rockets Volleyball ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a27ce13d9fcd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bailyn is tough, and as my kids say, TUFF!! She is running the back row for her Iowa Rockets team. Makes it look easy, but she communicates continuously with her team, she is the first point of defense, and there isn't a ball she won't make a play for. She tracks the ball extremely well, rotates within the floor, and is capable of advancing sets from the back row, keeping up the tempo.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["987118"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a27ce13da03a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The eye test was the first approval I gave Tinley. Size was obvious, then she showed agility, hustle, and a motor to match. Her leadership was a standout, communicating with the coach and her teammates, keeping her composure and them in the game. Pair these traits with watching her jump sets being placed in the sweet spots for her hitters consistently, you have yourself a setter!&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:gallery {"linkTo":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped"><!-- wp:image {"id":994334,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2026/06/PD_FreshmanShowcase_8c7cb6.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-994334" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --></figure> <!-- /wp:gallery --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>📧 Connect &amp; Work With Me</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For inquiries, connections, or coverage opportunities:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>👉 Visit PrepDig.com</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>📱 Follow on Socials</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>• Instagram: <strong>@PrepDigTobias</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>• TikTok: <strong>@tobiaswalkeac</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>• X (Twitter): <strong>@PrepDigTobias</strong> |<strong>@TobiasWalk</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>🔥 TobiasWalker10 – Official Code &amp; Contact Hub</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>🎟️ Use Code: TobiasWalker10</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
