About Claire
Expert Analysis
Bob Abels | Prep Dig Scout
Claire did not get a lot of playing time during the first day of the Nike TOC. During the season she normally played libero during the second set of a match. Since all the matches went three sets she normally played just one set in a match.
The second day the Knights began seeing tougher serves and stronger hits. The coach called on Claire to help improve the Knights back row play.
She seemed to find herself in the right spot on a number of vicious kills that brought with it tremendous velocity. Clair stood her ground, popped the ball up and kept a number of rallies alive. She scooped up 16 digs with two aces against Highland and 9 digs with five aces against Perry. The Knights split the two matches, winning the first and losing the second. Claire collected 8 digs with one ace in the one set she played in the final match against Archbishop Mitty.
Claire still needs to improve her serve receive but that will come with time. Better movement to the ball while keeping her shoulders down with a flat platform will improve her consistency. When I played, we passed mid line, but serves are arriving with greater velocity so angle passing is encouraged. I still prefer mid-line when you can because it forces you to move your feet to te ball rather than trying to reach for balls to get a proper angle and shanking the ball.
