Davin Altheide '25 Recruiting Profile

Thank you for taking a few minutes to learn more about me, my journey in volleyball, and where I see myself heading. I'm a 16-year-old junior, standing tall at 6'4" and weighing in at 185 pounds. I am a left-handed opposite hitter, and enjoy a shutdown block as much as a big time kill over the defense.

I grew up playing baseball, and switched to volleyball my freshman year. My journey really kicked off when I made the varsity team as a sophomore. It was a challenge and great opportunity to compete against the bigger and stronger players, and I embraced it with open arms and earned the Most Improved Player award – a sweet validation of the hard work I put in. I've been fine-tuning my skills, and now I've got a killer jump serve in my arsenal, making me an even more versatile player on the court.

What sets me apart is my dedication to not just individual success, but to the success of the team as a whole. I thrive in a high-performing culture that values teamwork, accountability, and, of course, winning. It's not just about personal accolades for me; it's about pushing boundaries together and achieving greatness as a unit.

Right now, I proudly wear the jersey for the OCVC 17 1's team in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The energy and passion of this team fuel my love for the game. I'm hungry for more challenges and opportunities to grow, both in high school and at the club level.

Looking ahead, I'm eager to find a college program that aligns with my values – a place where I can not only excel academically but also continue to make strides in my volleyball career. I'm seeking a community that values the same principles I hold dear: teamwork, accountability, and a relentless pursuit of victory.

So, here's to the journey ahead – one that's filled with spikes, blocks, and endless opportunities for growth. Let's keep the ball rolling, and I'm excited to see where my passion for volleyball takes me next!
