Aleena is currently an unranked prospect in the 2026 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but is listed on our official Watch List. She plays volleyball at Sharyland Pioneer High School and club for the Valley Venom volleyball program. Miss Zuniga has had out interest for the past few years as she is an awesome setter with very soft hands. The former setter of the year in her district is no stranger to awards or playing at a high level. Both hands are identical mirror images of each other during both contact and release of the ball when she sets to all locations. This young lady has shown a lot of resiliency battling back from an injury and is now fully healed and ready for war. She is also a very skilled defender who has a great touch on the ball with her platform. The ball rebounds off of her arms so well as they create amazing angles. During her set her body is in full control and there are not very many extra movements as she contacts the ball. This makes her very efficient and less prone to errors as she distributes the ball to her hitters. We are very excited to see her compete with her club team this year as she should be in for another stellar season. She is one to keep your eye on as the season goes along.

Zuniga was one of the most exciting new faces the last club season brought and I’m looking forward to watching her in action again after a few months – she will be with Valley Venom – 161 Red in the 16 Open division. Last season, she was a huge part of that team, running their offense masterfully and strongly contributing in other areas with her impressive all-around game. Zuniga has a very nice touch on the ball and is very good at sharing the ball among her hitters and remaining precise. She’s also a big part of the team’s offense, using her size and heavy arm to swing from the right. The setter works very hard on the court and brings a lot of energy to her teammates.

Zuniga was one of the nicest surprises of the last club season playing with Valley Venon – 151 Red. A very complete player, she helped her team in a variety of ways and displayed an excellent skill set. Zuniga has precise hands, a very high volleyball IQ and is one of those players who deliver under pressure, remaining calm and productive no matter what. She can also hit at a very high level and was set quite often when she was at the net. Despite all those skills, perhaps the main things about Zuniga are her relentless work and her unwavering determination to get things done and succeed, which will most likely take her very far.

Setters who make a great impact on their teams always catch my attention and not many were at the same level as Zuniga when it comes to that. She was the brains and the soul of her Valley Venon – 151 Red team, being involved with a lot of what they did on the court. Besides being very smooth with her ball distribution, she also displayed a very high volleyball IQ, which helped her to make the most of difficult situations and remain accurate and lucid no matter what. Zuniga would also take up hitting duties when at the net and became one of the team’s most-used offensive players, swinging hard from the right.
