Ava Hubbard Ava Hubbard 5'1" | DS/L Lakeview | 2031 MN already knows that quality first contact is the bedrock of great defense. She does a nice job of keeping her platform quiet in serve-receive and consistently puts the ball in a place where her offense can stay in system. The game quickens, but her cool, controlled ball handling continues to set her apart from many of her contemporaries. ~Theresa@prepdigdakotas

Hubbard keeps her hips low and weight forward, ready to move in any direction to keep the ball from hitting the floor. Her hustle allows her to beat the ball to its destination or run through while creating a strong pass to her target. Communicating on and off the court, she is locked in and ready to help in any way she can. When she is on the court, Hubbard takes control of the back row. Anticipating her opponent’s next move, she usually ends up in the perfect spot to keep her team in-system. After each rally, Hubbard does not shy from encouraging and cheering for her teammates.
