I primarily saw Thompson in the back row at the showcase and saw that she was a solid defender. She moves well, anticipates the ball, and does a nice job getting her platform out early and creating good angles. She was also solid in serve receive and has good float serve. Not only were her skills solid, but she was an effective communicator and leader as well.

Kaley Thompson Kaley Thompson 5'5" | OH/DS/L Bagley | 2029 MN is the type of player you appreciate more the longer you watch. She does a lot of things right. I saw a six-rotation outside who understands how to manage the game—she was steady in serve-receive and made smart decisions in transition. She doesn’t force swings; instead, she uses high hands, placement, and control to stay efficient. There’s a reliability to her game that stands out. As she continues to add more offensive power and expand her scoring range, Thompson is a player who will continue to climb. ~Theresa@prepdigdakotas

As a six-rotation player, Thompson brings teamwork, energy, positivity, and dedication to the court. In the front row, she is ready to block the opponents and uses her agile footwork to get in front of the hitter quickly. Defense always comes first, as she transitions quickly off the net, ready to defend the court before taking a swing. Thompson successfully swings from anywhere on the court and works hard to give the opponents an aggressive attack. She congratulates and encourages all teammates during and after rallies.
