Aletta Millenaar brings length and a strong blocking presence that immediately stands out. She takes up space at the net and uses her reach effectively, pressing high and creating tough angles for opposing hitters. Offensively, she’s developing into a strong first-tempo option, showing flashes of being able to beat the block with quick arm speed and a high contact point. She does a nice job staying available, tracking the setter, and working to stay in system even when the play breaks down. There’s clear upside in her game, especially as she continues to add strength and consistency. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Why coaches should track now: her physical tools and net presence give her a high ceiling as a middle who can impact both sides of the ball.

Millenaar is poised to have a breakout club season with Spaceneedle. She is all of her listed 6’2″ height and moves well in transition and laterally to close the block. Millenaar jams down overpasses with confidence and is aggressive at the net on the block. The Stanwood prospect moves into the rankings at #41 overall, and will be one to watch as the rankings updates roll out.
