Emily Avila Emily Avila 5'4" | S American Canyon | 2027 CA is a setter who leads with intention, trust, and a deep understanding of the game’s rhythm. As a team captain for Red Rock, she embraces the responsibility of setting the tone, both in tempo and team culture. She’s a vocal presence who keeps her squad engaged through high-energy communication, accountability, and a calm, focused mindset. This season, she put in the work to elevate her defensive range and deceptive setting, expanding her impact beyond traditional play-calling. Her ability to read seams, chase down balls, and add variety to her sets has added new dimensions to her team’s offensive and defensive play. Emily plays with purpose and poise, knowing that great teams are built on trust and execution.

What makes Emily stand out just as much is the way she carries herself. Her coaches and teammates consistently point to her selflessness, reliability, and ability to lead without needing the spotlight. She brings people together and builds connection, whether it’s during a timeout or downtime between matches. Emily’s joy for the game is evident, and it fuels her ability to stay composed no matter the moment. She’s the type of athlete who inspires others to rise simply by being herself. Her leadership extends well beyond the court, as seen in her appointment as an incoming ASB Officer, proof that she’s not only a difference-maker in volleyball, but in every environment she steps into. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247
