Expert Analysis

My first exposure to Sandholm was watching her help Premier 15-1 to an Iowa Regional Championship. That team earned at Open Division bid at the USAV National. She’s put herself in position to get back to that level this season with United 16 Elite Timmerman, who I watched compete at the 2026 Nike President’s Day Classic in St. Louis. She’d grown and added power to her game since watching her last club season. Sandholm is a good athlete and a technically sound volleyball player. Those traits help her limit mistakes and take advantage when opponents leave an opening. It’s a heavy swing and a good feel for the block. Sandholm has plenty of room to go before reaching her potential. She’s positioned to help a Centennial varsity hit by graduation after a run to the 5A state title match last fall.

Sandholm is a talented, multi-sport athlete. The hand-eye coordination and strength needed in softball help her at the volleyball net. The explosiveness and burst from track pairs well with what’s required on the court. Sandholm stands out for the power she produces on the attack and for her timing in defending in the front row. She has potential as a college volleyball prospect, and her development over the next three years will be interesting to monitor.
