Piper Thompson '16 Recruiting Profile

My name is Piper Thompson. I attend Legend High School in Parker, CO. I am currently a senior. I started volleyball when I was in 7th grade in Edmond, OK. I started as a middle then moved to a right side and in eighth grade/freshman year, I became a setter. My freshman year, I played on the sophomore team.  I have played on my high school varsity team since my sophomore year. I was selected for and attended a USA Volleyball summer camp after my Freshman year.  I am old for my grade, which means I play up an age bracket in club volleyball. I am on a 18-1's team at my volleyball club, Elevation, in Colorado.  Volleyball has always been something I love to do.  I love to improve my game and am always excited to have a coach that challenges me to be better.  I also like to study the game and understand ways to change what our team is doing to take advantage of the way certain players play.  I am excited to play volleyball at the college level.

I have other activities outside volleyball as well.  I helped start FCA, (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), in my school and am currently serving in a leadership role for the organization. I was selected as a "Link Crew Leader" which helps incoming freshman integrate more positively into the high school world.  I also coached a 3rd/4th grade volleyball team for our town's recreation department, Parker Recreation.  It was really fun to coach and see the girls love the game.  My GPA is 3.71 right now. I have take several AP and Honors courses throughout high school and am in AP Calculus currently. My freshman year I received Art Student of the year award.  I plan to attend college for a bachelor's degree and probably a master's degree.  I am interested in architecture and art but don't know exactly what I want to do yet. I know I want to be a part of building a great culture of winning where ever I go.
