ZaAliyah has been turning heads all club season with her dominance and versatility on the court. Playing up multiple age groups with Vegas United ‘s 15s team as only a seventh grader, ZaAliyah continues to prove she belongs competing against older athletes. Whether she is setting, attacking from the outside, or making an impact in the middle, one thing is clear — she just wants to ball and is willing to do it from anywhere on the court. The six-rotation athlete boasts an impressive 3.7 GPA and has already established herself as a previous Prep Dig top performer. Recently, she showed off her offensive firepower after hammering an overpass down the two-foot line, while consistently using the block to her advantage and powering through defenders with confidence. With her skillset, leadership, and versatility, ZaAliyah has an extremely bright future ahead.

“I play setter, outside, and middle, and my biggest strength is my versatility and my ability to be a leader on the court,” ZaAliyah told Prep Dig Nevada.

Heading into the UA Next Middle School Camp, ZaAliyah hopes to continue growing her game while building connections and gaining exposure.

“My goals for this camp is to meet new people and coaches, get some major exposure, and get at least 1% better,” she said.

When asked what she hopes college coaches notice most about her game, ZaAliyah pointed directly to her all-around ability.

“I want college coaches to notice my versatility to the game,” she shared.

Off the court, ZaAliyah brings the same energy and confidence that shows up in her play, continuing to build a reputation as a hardworking athlete with a strong future ahead.

ZaAliyah Feltus, a setter and middle blocker from Delta Academy, showed versatility and leadership at the SoCal UpNext Showcase. She shared that she had been focused on increasing her overall volleyball IQ so she could become “a complete player that can get in any position on the court.” The showcase offered her the chance to learn more about what it takes to reach the next level and gave her valuable insight into the expectations of a future college athlete.

Her goals reflected both focus and ambition as she aimed to keep improving, stay consistent, and “make a name for myself.” ZaAliyah described herself as confident, competitive, and reliable, noting that she wanted coaches to know they could trust her to play any position at any time. Her natural leadership stood out, not only in the way she handled the ball but also in how she communicated and connected with those around her, setting a strong tone on the floor. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247
