Samantha Ryan age...Personal Statement
I just made All League First Team in a tough private school league in Los Angeles. My club schedule: March 30-April 1, 2024 Red Rock Rave #2 Las Vegas, NV Mandalay CC // April 13, 2024 SCVA Div 1-4 Championships in Irvine, CA. If you can't make it to any of the tournaments, the matches are recorded on ScoreCam and uploaded into (public) YouTube channel @gayryan8861 playlist SC Legends 18 Elite to view from any computer.
If you are looking for a consistent, hard working, and coachable athlete, then I would be a great fit for your team. I've been playing volleyball since I was eight years old, playing competitively since sixth grade, with 6 years of club volleyball experience. I play with heart and a drive to win. I pride myself on giving maximum effort for every point. I have acquired a passion to keep playing, a will to drive myself forward and constantly improve my skill level. I utilize every piece of feedback I am given and make the attempt to fix it in the next play. No matter the obstacle, I always come back to get stronger and make the most of the privilege I have been granted.
What sets me apart from the other athletes is my versatility and my work ethic. I have been a 6 rotation player for 3 years now. I have played all 3 hitter positions, I was a Middle for 2 seasons and a Setter for one season. I love this game, indoor and sand. When I am not playing I am in the weight room getting stronger. I have set goals to become proficient at all positions on the court, to become a 6 rotation player, to make varsity, etc. I have reached all of my goals thus far.
I have new goals. I would like to attend a college with a solid arts program and play on the volleyball team. My GPA is above 4.0
I am looking for a team to challenge me, to push me to a new level of gameplay.
