Olivia is excited for the opportunity to compete at Summer NIT and showcase the progress her team has made throughout the season. She views earning an invitation as a significant accomplishment for her teammates and coaches, telling PrepDig Nevada,

“Being able to compete in this tournament is a great opportunity to showcase our skills, but also get to compete in a very high level tournament.”

When her team takes the court, coaches and spectators can expect to see the results of countless hours of practice along with a group that embraces both competition and having fun. Olivia believes her team’s drive and chemistry help set them apart. 

“I’m hoping colleges to show my role on the court/off the court and my skills as a setter, but also how well my team competes together!”

Olivia plays Top Flight Volleyball 16 National Black. Good luck this weekend Olivia !

Setting is second nature to Olivia. She hustles to every ball, no matter where the pass takes her, and uses great technique to deliver hittable sets. She plays ahead of her age, shows strong court awareness, and would not look out of place playing up. She is a steady, reliable quarterback who brings value to any lineup.

Olivia brings value on both sides of the ball as a setter and defensive specialist. She posted strong assist, dig, and ace numbers while running the offense when needed and staying active in the back row. Olivia is positioned for an impressive club season and a breakout junior year at the high school level. —Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv

Kiel owns her role as the team’s quarterback and puts in the work every time she steps on the court. She’s got that hustle and heart you’re just born with—chasing down every second ball like it’s nothing. Her decision-making is on point, always setting up her hitters with clean, smart sets. She loves making her teammates shine, and her ball placement does exactly that. Straight up, this setter is a game-changer. –Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv

Olivia Kiel Olivia Kiel 5'6" | S/DS/L Faith Lutheran | 2028 State NV , a 2028 setter, plays for Top Flight Volleyball Academy 16 Black (#17) and Faith Lutheran High School (#3). She has been setting at a high level since her eighth-grade season and has only improved since joining her high school varsity team. Olivia is a hustler who excels at making smart decisions on who to set, consistently putting her hitters in a great position to rack up kills. — Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv

What makes Olivia different is her high volleyball IQ, ball placement, and top-tier setting skills, which caught my attention last club season when she was only in eighth grade. She made a significant impact as a freshman on varsity, contributing nearly 400 assists and 126 digs, showcasing both her offensive and defensive abilities. Her versatility allows her to contribute in multiple facets of the game, making her an invaluable asset to the team. — Kantessa @lasvegasvbanalyst @prepdignv

Olivia Kiel is definite and sound when it comes to setting her hitters for astounding kills. Her court awareness and hitter recognition give her a huge advantage when her team is on the attack. Olivia has very good footwork that enables her to cover the opposing team attacks and the accuracy of her assists is a tremendous attribute that will shine greatly in the upcoming club season.
