The Difference Makers: Top U15-17 Performers from NTDP Winter Training

Peyton Smith - 2029 OH - Madfrog

Elite athleticism stood out all training. Fast, powerful arm that was very terminal.

​

Lana Frelix - 2028 OPP - SG Elite

Block was a problem for opposing hitters. Explosive jumper who's powerful arm controlled the right side of the net.

​

Sade Bello - 2028 OH - Houston Jrs

Every time I watched her court she was bombing balls from both front row and back.

​

Lexi Coleman - 2029 OH - Legacy

She was her teams go-to player no matter who she was playing with. Scored at a extremely high rate all 3 days.

​

Ellie Engler - 2029 Setter - WPVC

Her size at the setting position stood out along with her physicality. She has really strong wrists and was able to set to both pins with excellent tempo. Made her hitters better.

​

Taylor Johnson - 2028 OH - TAV

Her vertical and athletic ability really stood out. When she swung on the ball it was getting to the floor fast, very terminal player.

​

Maya Ogbogu - 2028 OH - TAV

Was in the running for best pin in the gym. She is very powerful and hits incredible angles with a high vert.

​

Rilynn Wingenbach - 2028 MB - HPSTL

Was excelling while running pushes, got the ball to the floor fast. Had a tough head shot on the final day, Libero didn't have enough time to protect her her face (luckily she was ok). Defenders need to watch out with Rilynn, she'll cut the ball back at you quickly!

​

Shaun Waller - 2028 MB - TPV

Super quick laterally and off the ground. Length was a problem for the opponents with a big strong block. Had some really nice swings to right back.

​

Emily Hill - 2028 MB - Tribe

Her length really stood out in the middle, tall with long arms.  Arm was fast, got ball to the floor quickly.

​

Skye Lincoln - 2029 OH - Skyline Juniors

Super athletic, physical, and a high jumper. Was very terminal swinging. Ball control and passing was impressive, especially during play on last day.
