Emma Kingston Emma Kingston 6'4" | MB/RS Mater Dei | 2027 State #157 Nation CA (Class of 2027) is a 6’4” outside hitter for Wave 17 Juliana and Mater Dei High School. A National Champion and Freshman All-American, Kingston has already made her mark as one of the top prospects in her class.

Her decision to play up was rooted in a desire to maintain the high level of competition she experiences during the high school season. “It allows me to improve my game and continue to be competitive throughout the year, which is all I really want,” she shared.

One of the early challenges she faced was learning to adapt to unfamiliar teammates and their playing styles. Rather than focusing on age differences, she approached it as an opportunity to build new connections and learn how to complement her teammates’ strengths. That perspective helped her quickly adjust and feel like a valued part of the team.

Playing up has elevated both her leadership and overall development as a player. The experience has helped her prepare for the next level by exposing her to the intensity and expectations of higher-level volleyball. Kingston wants college coaches to know that while playing up came with challenges, it was the right decision for her growth. She embraced it fully to push her game forward and prepare herself for what lies ahead.
