Kendall had a great showing at Summer NIT for her Omni 15N1 team. She was routinely standing out as one of the best players on the floor (on both sides of the net) and someone whose game was outstanding throughout the weekend. For her setting the one thing about Kendall is she makes all the tough sets look easy. She can very easily jump and take a tight ball that should only have one option and make it hittable for all her hitters. She also has a ton of strength in her hands and is able to push the ball from pin to pin regardless of where she is standing on the floor. A lot of that is her excellent technique as well, but her strength is also on display with that as well.

She was also a threat on offense, and would very often get her hitters a one on one by jumping for balls at the net and freezing the defense since they had to be honest with her. She also contributed with her defense and has seem to grow a ton in that department over this season, she seems like a high level defender now who sees the game at a high level. Her game was on during Summer NIT, and was an easy pick as one of our standouts from that weekend!

Kendall was an big part of helping lead her team to a 3-0 day. She ran a great offense throughout the day, but also contributed in other ways that may go unseen. She plays with a fast tempo, and sees where the holes are in the defense while being able to get the hitters on her team the ball in the best location to beat the defense. She also was great with her serving, going on multiple point runs and keeping the other team out of system for a lot of the day. Lastly she played with a lot of passion and energy throughout the day, and it was very evident the girls on the team look up to her as a leader and trust her to manage the offense.

Kendall delivered steady, smart play in both the front row and back row. She distributed the ball effectively, communicated consistently with her hitters, and helped maintain offensive flow throughout the session. Her decision making kept her group organized and confident, even in fast paced sequences.

Kendall’s ability to connect with hitters and manage tempo made her a reliable presence in competitive moments.

Kendall is one of the setters to get out to and watch this season during the club season as she runs the position to high and efficient level. Kendall is someone who sets with a clean release and strong ball control each and every set; while delivering tempo to run a fast offense.

Kendall is a setter who can move very fast and always seems to get her hands on the ball. Doesn’t matter if the pass wasn’t perfect, Kendall seems to always be getting her feet to the ball and making good tempo sets to her hitters during game play. She also is able to make the tough set, not solely relying on what is easy and making the defense stay home that much longer. On top of her high level setting, Kendall is also someone who can play great defense and reads hitters so well in her movement to get to the ball. Not many setters can play high level defense but she is an exception to this as she routinely dug hard driven down balls and got the ball up in a perfect spot for a teammate to execute the offense.

This Omni 15 team will have a lot of talent, and has some standout individuals that attended our exposure tour, but Kendall really stood out in terms of her ability to connect with all hitters in induvial drills, along with being able to run a fast offense in game play. She is someone who projects well as she gets older and the ceiling is high for her. I would encourage if you have a young daughter who wants to be a setter, Kendall is the perfect example of who they should watch at a young age!
