has a calm control that stands out right away. She doesn’t rush, she builds the offense and lets it develop. Her hands are clean, her location is consistent, and she makes hitters comfortable no matter the situation. What really separates her is her decision-making. She understands when to settle the play and when to push tempo, and that balance keeps everything connected. When rallies extend, she stays composed and continues to make the right choice. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
Why I’m excited to watch: She manages the flow of the match and makes the game look easy when it’s not.

Ava is a 5’10” setter from Weiss High School who competes for Austin Juniors Volleyball Club. She brings good size to the setter position along with the ability to impact the game at the net. Ava delivers a consistent ball and shows a developing feel for tempo, allowing her hitters to stay comfortable and in rhythm. She moves well and is able to extend plays, showing composure when forced out of system. There is a calm confidence in the way she runs the offense, making steady decisions rather than forcing plays. Her size also allows her to be a factor as a blocker, adding another layer to her game. She continues to grow into a leader on the court, directing traffic and managing the flow of the match.

Jackson and her AJV 15 Adidas team ended the tournament in third place, with a campaign of four wins and one loss. Her game was very technical and smooth, as even when working with passes off the net, she was still able to keep their offense in system. Jackson moved very well on the court and used her firm and talented setter hands to remain accurate with her locations, while also standing out for her balanced distribution. The setter also played strong defense at the right back position and generated transition plays for her side.

Miss Jackson is currently an unranked prospect in the 2029 class according to our Texas State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet. She plays volleyball at Weiss High School and also for the Austin Juniors volleyball club. A lot really stands out about this phenom. First of all, she has the frame and power already at a young age that will bring a lot of attention her way as a recruit. Secondly, she is one of those setters that plays elite level defense like a libero out of the right back zone. Her base is super strong and always balanced at the point of contact. Her platform angles redirect the ball to a perfect location for her libero to take the second contact and set up attackers in a position to succeed. As a setter, I love how she uses her natural athleticism and speed to be in perfect position to deliver the ball to her attackers. She is super smooth as she moves around the court tracking passes and transitioning to offense. Equipped with soft hands and precise location, this young lady needs to be on everyone’s radar already as a freshman. There is no doubt that she will eventually be listed on our State Ranking List. Stay tuned to see when she makes it and where she falls on it. Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award at our showcase.

was one of the team’s strengths as they not only kept their offense in a good rhythm all day, but also made good plays when needed. Jackson’s setting was excellent, as she did a great job of getting all her hitters involved, while keeping her precision even when working with passes off the net. She also used her excellent all-around game to contribute in other areas of the game, playing defense at a high level and serving well.
