Her game is getting more aggressive and effective in not only how assertive she as a lefty on the strongside pin, but also in how she can score with good authority. Entering her junior year, her stock has elevated and deserving that increased attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["534194"],"_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-6a3b5da206363"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith has been a big factor at the right pin for this top 16U team for [program_tooltip program_id='430852' first='Tri-State' last='Elite'], with versatility to score on quick middle routes as well. Through her 6'1 frame, she continues to shore up her mechanics and movement on both sides of the ball as her impact is tangible from that side of the court. She can develop a high contact point with her arm while also able to put up an imposing block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["539419"],"_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-6a3b5da2063f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hamilton (*pictured) is a 2029 who has been proving herself well this club season competing with [program_tooltip program_id='431679' first='NOVA' last='Juniors'] top 16U team. Her added length at 6'0 is a big factor as she can extend and contact even further above the net in combination with her ability to contact with big for and swing with range. Hamilton's full scope of skills is impressive as her athleticism can make big plays in different phases with her length and I.Q.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["812077"],"_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-6a3b5da206483"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arthur is a 6'1 pin with ability to score well from both sides of the court for Elite VBTC's top 16U team compeiting in the 16 Open division. She is part of a key core group of arms that scores a lot for this team as her progress this club season has been steady. The gains she has made in her transition work off the net into her approach. With a high reach, she is best when the ball leads her and her flow is slow to fast to close her footwork and get up and swing on balance and at the top of her jump.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["712785"],"_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-6a3b5da20650d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'9 outside hitter is a big part of this team's offense as a primary arm on the pin. Her action involves using her arms aggressively to get up off the court and contact with a high elbow swing. At the top of her jump, she can challenge the defense in front of her well while also using her vision and balance to allow her to swing through different space at the edges of the defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
