Expert Analysis
Anthony Jones | Prep Dig Scout
Another setter to keep an eye on this year (especially heading into Nationals) is Olivia. A highly athletic setter, Olivia impacts the game with her ability to run a fast-paced offense while also posing a legitimate offensive threat when opportunities shows itself. As a setter, she already displays an impressive range of sets for her age and does an excellent job turning out-of-system plays into quality offensive chances. Throughout the season, she has consistently shown the ability to manage tempo, vary her distribution, and keep opposing blockers off balance. Olivia combines strong technical fundamentals with outstanding athleticism. She moves exceptionally well, allowing her to get her hands on balls that many setters simply cannot reach.
What really stands out about her athleticism is her explosiveness also enables her to attack tight passes effectively, meeting the ball at a high contact point and creating scoring opportunities when the play breaks down. Defensively, she demonstrates solid footwork and lateral quickness, consistently putting herself in position to deliver a playable first contact. She also contributes from the service line, serving with confidence and showing an understanding of how to attack seams and weaknesses within opposing serve-receive formations. Olivia is a player whose ceiling continues to rise as she gains experience and confidence. With her combination of athleticism, skill, and game management, she is a name that should continue to attract attention throughout both the upcoming school and club seasons.
