Maja was someone who really impressed us at our clinic this year and has continued to do so this fall and is now ranked 32 after over a 15 position jump from last rankings. She is someone who can play multiple positions and can do so to a high level. One of her biggest assets is her ability to block and take up space at the net. She has a good vertical and with her long reach she takes up a lot of angles and shots away from opposing hitters. She is someone who can always contribute with her defense as her offensive game continues to make big strides. On offense that same reach and ability showcases itself when she is taking big rips at the ball to beat opposing blocks and using her range to hit the deep corners. Overall Maja is someone who is continues to make big strides and continues to showcase top end talent. What out for her during club season to be a dominate player for her team.

Talk about a massive leap… Maja as she wasn’t even ranked in our first update but is now inside the rankings and all the way up to 52nd. A middle who is really blossoming this season with more and more rep that has caused this exponential climb. When you watch her play you see a lot of potential on top of skill. Her offensive game is really coming together with the ability to run fast and quicker sets during rallies both in front and behind the setter. More impressively is she can take a one on one and win a ton of those match ups but also holds her own in double block situations and will take a off speed shot when it is required.

Defense is where he biggest asset lies as she is already showing advanced footwork patterns along the net and does an impressive job reading setters and attackers for her age group. Her ability to close blocks consistently and take away angles makes her a disruptive presence defensively, while her length allows her to affect plays even when she is slightly late getting to the pin.

Maja is a riser because what separates her from many players in the 2029 class is the overall ceiling she possesses. The physical tools are there, but the feel for the game and willingness to improve stand out equally as much and demonstrates and supports her massive jump!
