About Gioia

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Hello, thank you for viewing my profile page. For the past 4 seasons, I played the MB position for Legacy Volleyball Club in Valencia, CA. In July 2025 I moved clubs and joing SG Elite's 16 Roshambo team for the 25-26 season. I am an aggressive hitter and stronger blocker, I can reach almost 10ft.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am very good at turning on and off my aggressiveness. Once the whistle blows I am pretty much focused on the game and what it takes to win. After the game and between sets I like to joke around and make people laugh to help deal with the pressure and stress of the matches. I am an August birthday so I am usually the youngest on the team and am accustomed to playing against older players.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Currently only a freshman but belong to CSF (California Scholatic Federation) and I will be eligible for National Honor Society next semester. I am member of DFY (Drug Free Youth) and Black Student Union at my high school.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I volunteer monthly at a food bank and in the last 8 months started working with my old club coach that left and started her own club, I work with her to coach kids in the 8-10 yr old age group. It's helped me find my voice and learn how to communicate better with my students and eventually my teammates.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I lost my mother to cancer when I was 5 years old, and have been raised by my father. I also have an older brother that plays football at home. So I am constantly in a house with male energy and have had to learn to fight for everything, I think this has played a part in my athleticism and my aggressiveness. I don't back down from difficult situations and have learned a lot about myself.

What type of college are you looking for?

Not sure yet, open to it, but probably a mid size to smaller school right now. But I am only a freshman and have time to figure this out still. But I do want something that provides me a challenge academically and the opportunity to play at a high level of volleyball

Gioia Piccolino Gioia Piccolino Gioia Piccolino 5'10" | MB/OH West Ranch | 2028 CA is a force to be reckoned with in the middle, dominating both offensively and defensively in ways that leave opponents scrambling. Her powerful approach and relentless drive make her nearly unstoppable, but it’s when she connects with her setter that she truly shines. The timing of their connection is like a symphony, perfectly executed, but the reaction is anything but poetic. Instead, it’s a fiery celebration that electrifies the entire court, sparking an energy that lifts everyone around her.

Piccolino’s ability to execute time and time again is what sets her apart, but it’s her ability to elevate the hype and inspire her teammates that makes her a standout. Her energy is contagious, turning every point into a momentum-building moment for her team. Gioia is the epitome of hype, a player who not only dominates but also fuels her team’s spirit and readiness to take the game to the next level. For college coaches seeking a middle who can both perform and ignite her team, Piccolino is an essential prospect. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247
