Pretty special when you can be part of the first of anything, and that’s what this recruiting class for Vanderbilt is looking to do. Ariel Chime is part of an electric Class of 2025 who will be taking the court next fall for Vanderbilt’s first team. Chime comes from Southern California where she has been playing for Coast as a physical and athletic middle blocker. She is able to establish a big block while getting out in transition and being available to score points. She is another one who has a huge upside at the next level where her best volleyball is still ahead.

Being invited to the 2024 Girls Spring NDTP has always been a dream of mine, and I’m so blessed to be invited and train with the best. I hope that my physical attributes and competitiveness shine when I play with the best athletes in the country. What I hope to gain by playing in Florida is to improve my overall game and make new friends.

As an athlete that aspires to play D1 collegiate volleyball. I have been privileged to be mentored by many coaches at the highest level in college volleyball. Recognizing that I discovered volleyball late in life and my drive to play at the highest level, motivates me to create a regimen that has supported me to enhance my skill set. These includes arriving 15 minutes before practice, driving two hours for private lessons, and strength and conditioning training with Roy Casiano. Not everyone has the privilege to have so many resources available to improve and succeed in their ability to play volleyball like I do. But your will and determination to succeed in this game will outweigh all the costs and expenses that comes with it. You don’t have to train with the most in demand personal trainer or play in an open division to see improvements. All you need is a wall, YouTube and your hunger to strive towards being great and achieving your goals.

Ariel Chime is a middle blocker/hitter for Coast Volleyball Club . She plays under the guidance of head coach Rodrigo Suelotto. Chime has an amazing reach. Her penetration at the net is beautifully captured in her picture. Her body is straight, arms extended, she blocked this ball straight down with quickness. Her height and vertical made it easy to get blocks. She jumps so high her head is above the net. Chime shuffled left and right, helping her pins. She is a defending force at the net. She easily won jousting matches against opponents.
