Hailey Lee Hailey Lee 5'7" | S Mater Dei | 2030 CA ‘s reflection from the event revealed a setter who already sees the game through a very advanced lens.

The moment she highlighted was not centered around a flashy play. Instead, it focused on reversing the flow of the offense to create a cleaner one-on-one opportunity for her hitter, ultimately leading to a kill with only half a block in front.

That answer says a lot about how she processes the game.

After a year and a half training with CPA, Hailey talked about becoming more consistent, mentally stronger, and more complete overall as a player. Winning both the Best Setter and Setting Skills awards, especially while competing against older athletes as one of the youngest players in attendance, clearly reinforced confidence she is continuing to build in her game.

Academics also seem deeply connected to her identity. Hailey recently earned the Principal’s Scholarship at Mater Dei High School after posting one of the top placement scores, a reflection of the same discipline and preparation she brings onto the court.

Her summer schedule remains packed as well, with Open Nationals, major college camps, and high school preparation all becoming part of her next chapter.
