💡 Game You’re Proud Of
Right now, I’m most proud of my ability to run a fast-paced offense while making smart decisions for my hitters. As a setter typically in a 5-1 system, I take pride in controlling my tempo, reversing the flow, and creating one-on-one or no-block opportunities for my hitters. I also value being an aggressive setter at the net. I enjoy scoring with setter dumps and taking control of the offense. My defense and serving also help me stand out as I am super aggressive in the back row and bring a lot of movement to my serve. I work to be consistent, competitive, and high-energy in every rotation. I bring intensity and leadership to the court, and I try to elevate my teammates’ confidence and performance through communication and effort.📲 Why This Post Mattered
I respect the knowledge of the recruiters so much and value any help that they can give to help me get noticed by colleges. I feel that the exposure from PrepDig has helped colleges notice me on social media. I appreciate them reposting my highlight reels and taking time to write articles about my gameplay.🧠 What Coaches Should Know
Something I want college coaches to know about me on and off the court is that I’m very passionate and driven in everything I do. Outside of volleyball, I have a strong love for aviation and have always been fascinated by planes and jets. I’m excited for the opportunity to one day become a pilot and build a career doing something I truly love. That passion carries over into volleyball, where I bring energy, competitiveness, and a strong work ethic every day. Lastly, I enjoy 80s music and watching old films and movies. They’re a big part of how I spend my time when I’m not in the gym or on the court.

managed offensive flow with composure and pace discipline. She ran a fast-tempo offense while maintaining consistent set location, allowing hitters to rely on repeatable rhythm across matches. Her decision-making stabilized the court, and her ability to sustain aggressive tempo while contributing defensively reinforced her two-way value.
Her next focus is strengthening her blocking presence as a front-row setter, adding more disruption at the net while continuing to keep opposing defenses uncertain. Off the court, Dedekian’s commitment to aviation and pursuit of a pilot’s license reflects long-term goal setting and technical curiosity, traits that parallel her structured approach to the game.

ran a composed and high-energy offense as the starting setter in a 5–1 system throughout the NorCal Winter Classic. She consistently pushed a fast tempo to keep hitters ahead of the block, extended rallies with key digs, and led vocally by calling matchups, directing traffic, and maintaining energy during tight moments. Her leadership showed in both her communication and her ability to stay composed while competing in the Gold Division, where she finished the weekend with 12 aces. Following coaching feedback, Avery is focused on delivering consistent tempo to every hitter, involving her middles more effectively, and reversing the flow of the offense to disrupt defenses. She also plans to sharpen her blocking with more disciplined footwork and positioning. Off the court, Avery has a strong appreciation for 80s pop culture and a deep passion for aviation, with aspirations of becoming a pilot. She draws clear parallels between flying and volleyball, noting the shared demands of focus, discipline, and confidence.
Avery’s next tournament is the NIT Battle to Bartle in Kansas City from February 14 to 16.
