About Lailah

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Hi! My name is Lailah Clayborne. When I play volleyball, I try to play with confidence and aggression- constantly trying to be there for my team and put the ball away. I find the open spots on the court and I take the game very seriously.

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

In the game I am focused, determined, and motivated. I'm intentional about being the kind of teammate and player that I would want on the court with me, Im coachable and a great student. I take criticism and use it to improve.

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

In May of 2024 I had the distinguished honor of being the salutatorian of my graduating class with a 4.325 GPA. Now a sophomore at Long Beach Polytechnic, I am on an AP track.

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

I am reliable, honest, accountable and I also practice daily gratitude. Playing volleyball has allowed me to prioritize my physical and mental health. I have learned the importance of creating and maintaining strong bonds with my coaches and teammates.

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

My first year of club volleyball I played on a twelves team. I made all of my friends on that team and started to feel like a good player. At the end of that season, the coach for the top fourteens team recruited me and almost immediately I started to compare myself to the girls on that team, and wish I was better. It was a challenge to change my mindset, but once I switched perspective I thrived.

What type of college are you looking for?

I want to attend a college that will provide me with a safe community to grow academically, spiritually, and physically. I value a college with a diverse student body and many opportunities. A positive and supportive volleyball team is important to me as well.

Lailah Clayborne Lailah Clayborne Lailah Clayborne 5'9" | MB/RS Long Beach Polytechnic | 2028 CA plays with presence. Her communication, intensity, and willingness to impact the game beyond her assigned role allow her to influence rallies even when she is not the primary attacker.

“I want coaches to notice how I demand the ball, lead on the court, and still do my part even when I’m not being set.”

Her transition into playing opposite has expanded her game, forcing her to think more about block positioning, coverage, and offensive range. That development has been both physical and mental.

“A big part of my growth has been maintaining an attacker’s mindset and staying relentless.”

Her mindset is rooted in team connection and accountability.

“I focus on being the teammate I would want… making sure my energy and communication never drop.”

That combination of competitiveness, awareness, and connection makes her a player who can elevate the environment around her.
