Continue ReadingThe class of 2024 seems to have some rising athletes that they continuously keep producing and putting out on the court. These hitters are a fix of new faces and familiar athletes that we are used to hearing about.
These hitters have outstanding skill sets that are the reason they caught my attention.
Ella Boland–
Sky High
Boland is a consistent player and when it comes to her approach to the net and follow through on the ball, she is very explosive and strong when it comes to her swings. She is a very powerful athlete both physically and mentally as she sets herself up to play in the best position she can, even with rotating setters.
Madalyn Mardock–
VC United
Mardock has a strong and powerful swing on her and works heavily in her favor when it comes to her skills and drills and applying those skills in active game play. The biggest thing that caught my eye about Mardock is that her swings and hits are not forceful, and are set soft but powerful. As a noticeable tweak that can be made in her training is her ball direction can be cleaned up and would make her hits much stronger.
Alicia Pierre– Topflight
Pierre is a very consistent athlete and has a very powerful swing that you can’t miss. When it comes to playing on the offensive end, Pierre is without a doubt going to be a threat to the opposing team, with her ability to approach and follow through with such strong swing on the net. Her swings are soft, but hits over the net with a bang. On the defensive side of things, Pierre is very attentive and moves well back and forth across the net.

Pierce has a very consistent swing and is a very interesting athlete to watch out on the court. She has a very min. height off the ground and her swing over the nets are going to make up for that. When in game play, Pierce has a punch on the ball and continuously apply pressure onto the opposing team.
