Continue ReadingWhat has been a shortened club volleyball season is coming to an end in Seattle but the best was arguably saved for the last with the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championship set to take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center from June 26-July 5.
The event is expected to attract more than 700 teams in the 15 divisions for clubs from 15s to 17s and the state of Washington will be among the participants with at least 17 teams entered to appear in the event.
Between now the stating serve on June 26, we’ll take a look in each of those teams, recapping their club season and pointing out the players you would want to follow in the tournament.
SIVBC 15 Typhoon
One of three teams from the strong Sudden Impact Volleyball Club out of Bellevue to qualify for the event, 15 Typhoon will be tested in the 15 Patriot division in Las Vegas. Head coach Alexei Simmons and his players have had more to celebrate than to regret in the club season so far as they won 17 and lost 14 matches. The team got fifths at both the Pacific Northwest Qualifier and the PSR Regional Championship and finished seventh at the PSR Power League.

Players to Watch
Logan Remington – Middle Blocker – HS: Mercer Island – 2024
The first reason why Logan Remington stands out among her SIVBC 15 Typhoon teammates is certainly her 6’1” frame. She has been steadily improving her game and while there’s still a lot of potential to be untapped, Remington is already able to heavily impact the game. Her hitting mechanics is very good and once she gets stronger on her upper and lower body she will be really difficult to stop.
Lili Tehan – Outside Hitter – HS: Newport – 2024
A talented outside hitter from Newport high school, Lili Tehan is a key part of SIVBC 15 Typhoon’s playing system. Standing at 5’9”, she really knows her way around the net and is impressively effective when in transition and out of system. Tehan is a good passer too and she always try to play smarter versus stronger, a mindset that can take her far.
Ariana Clarkson – Outside Hitter – HS: Northwest – 2024
A well-versed prospect, Ariana Clarkson has a strong all-around game that strongly benefits SIVBC 15 Typhoon. She’s very efficient at the net with her 5’10” frame and has an interesting ability to find open spots on the court. Clarkson plays beach volleyball too and that combination strengthens her game on the wood court as well.
