Continue ReadingWith the start of the high school season already underway and the first matches scheduled for next Thursday, now is the perfect time to take a look at some of the players who might make an impact this fall as freshmen.
While Prep Dig doesn’t focus on club volleyball players in the 14s age group – where a vast majority of the incoming freshmen play – until the national championships, there are always a few that catch our eye during that time frame or while playing with their high school teams in the summer leagues and camps.
This freshman watch list is not meant to be a list of the BEST freshmen, because we obviously haven’t had a chance to see a large number of them and because it is very difficult to try and rank kids until you get to see them play against older competition.
Also, remember that this watch list will be updated periodically during the upcoming high school season as we get a chance to get out and see more players. With that having been said, here is an initial look at those on our Class of 2023 watch list – listed alphabetically and with information we have available.
