Bryn Dircksen plays with confidence, and her hitters feed off of it. She gets to the ball well, hits it consistently, and isn’t afraid to trust every attacker on the court. The offense often looked rushed with her watching over the summer, but she remained composed from first down to last. She is still at liberty, and I don’t expect that to go on forever. ~Theresa@prepdigdakotas

At 5’8, Dircksen can run a good offense as she continued to build a strong prep resume through her floor leadership for Calvert during the high school cycle, and for Mintonette ‘s top 17U team, which recently finished 3-0 in opening day pool play at Summerfest to advance to the gold bracket in the 17 Open division. At Calvert, Dircksen has distributed 2,032 assists over three seasons, as her team has a combined record of 84-3 over that span, including winning the 2025 DVII state title with two runner-up finishes the previous two seasons.

This Mintonette m.72 squad is a tough out for opponents as they have some high quality skills throughout their rotation. Dircksen is a setter with great competitive experience, which leads to a lot of confidence and good composure in how she guides their offense when it is her opportunity to run the show. Whether pin to pin or finding the heavy arms in the middle, Dircksen can help make her hitters look good. The 17 USA division is where she will compete.

Dircksen assumed a big role during her sophomore season as the primary setter for a Calvert program that has big tradition and high competitive standards. She dished 860 total assists for a 9.5 a/s average, increasing her career total to 1,174 with two seasons ahead of her. She plays for Mintonette during the club season, a great place to keep developing her setting mechanics, consistency, and decision-making. Simple in her movement to pursue the ball, she makes good adjustments while maintaining her soft touch when on the move.

Dircksen did a wonderful job getting a number of hitters involved. She reads the court well putting her hitters in good positions to put balls down. Dirksen showed great poise and timing on the court setting her feet to make crisp sets. She can do a number of them from crease shots to the traditional go routes. Dircksen had 34 assists and seven digs in the Seneca win. Dircksen said the communication of where to put balls was great in the game.
