She currently ranks top 10 in the state and top 3 in the 3A conference in digs. She is a big reason for Valley Christian being undefeated and number 1 in 3A for powerpoints.

Ellie passes with a strong platform and makes it seem so effortlessly as she moves in serve receive to pass the ball. She has the ability to read servers early and always maintains good balance while contacting the ball. She frequently delivers in system balls for her offense which is helping them hit a very high mark this year. You can make a case that she is one of the best if not the best serve receive passer in all of small schools.

In defense she is great with her reaction time and recovery skills. When there is chaos (which is rare for Valley Christian) she thrives in it, she does well with her ability to keep the ball alive in those situation when most players would have the ball hit the floor. She is relentless in her pursuit of the perfect pass and does well even when the ball is deflected off the block because she has such good balance in her footwork.

A top level libero who can do it all for the #1 ranked team in 3A. She is the all around libero coaches look for with her energy, IQ, and high level play. She was a great choice to represent the small school back row all stars.

Ellie Gregg Ellie Gregg 5'7" | DS/L Valley Christian | 2026 State AZ has been quietly building a powerhouse reputation at Valley Christian since she first stepped onto the court as a freshman. After spending much of her life overseas with her international teacher parents, she entered the American volleyball scene with limited experience but limitless potential. Coaches immediately saw her talent and considered placing her on varsity, but with rare maturity, Ellie chose to spend her first season leading JV as captain while also swinging up to varsity — a decision that laid the foundation for her growth as both a player and a leader.

Now a senior and the team’s sole veteran, Ellie is the calm anchor of a squad she helped lead to an undefeated season and a 3A state championship last year. Unlike the stereotypical high-energy libero, Ellie brings steadiness and quiet confidence to the back row, consistently controlling the tempo and refusing to let balls drop. Her name is regularly among the top 10 for digs in the state — currently sitting at No. 9 with 319 season totals — a testament to her reliability and grit.

Liberos don’t always get the spotlight, but Ellie’s performance, poise, and leadership make her impossible to overlook.
