My name is Melina Servino Melina Servino 5'5" | S/DS/L Torrance | 2027 CA I am a starting Varsity Setter Torrance High School class of 2027, and I am a setter for Surfside Volleyball Club . I played Volleyball for 10 years and I played club for 4 years. I decided to attend the Prep dig pre-tournament showcase to not only showcase my abilities on the court but as well as make new friends, learn new techniques, and knowledge on the court. Importantly this is beneficial for me to get to play with hardworking devoted players which will be very competitive experience.

As an undersized setter I always love being given the opportunities to go front row and showing off my abilities against the tall opponents with my abilities to jump. My strengths of being a setter is being able to get to the ball quick, as well as putting my 100% effort to any out of system ball and giving the highest chances for my teammates to score. Being a small setter I devote a lot of time into my defense because I did transition from a libero to a setter I enjoy playing defense as well as  backrow setting.  Using my voice on the court is a prime factor of my game. I always make it clear when I am on the court by celebrating every point like it is the last point and hustling every play. As a vocal setter I always put effort into helping my teammates score by asking for constant feedback on what set they need and how much court they want me to take on defense for high chances to get a point because it is my initiative to get the best ball to my teammates.

Besides playing volleyball I enjoy meeting new people and the impact it has made on me. Volleyball has taught me you need support through the hard times and the easy to be able to have high success. I love hanging out at the beach and spending time with my friends and family. I also spend time towards my homework to maintain good grades being in honors and AP classes.
