Chloe Ates '24 Recruiting Profile

I lost my father before I was born. My paternal grandparents adopted and raised me. They felt their responsibility was to fill me with as much life as possible. They have given me the foundation for success. I know what faith is and believe in GOD and that we can confidently accomplish everything. I see the value of family(team), but I can’t do it all alone. I know what respect is and why it is essential to extend it. I know what hard work is and how it pays off. I know the importance of an excellent education to be successful. I know what sacrifice and work ethic are as I grew up seeing them practiced.

My grandparents' influence has helped me be a successful athlete/student/person. I have been part of my high school team playing varsity volleyball since the 8^th grade (K -12 school). I am versatile as a player ranging from an outside hitter to Libero and a defensive specialist. My high school has won its district title the last TWENTY years, with me being a part of that team the previous four. This year we were the State Runner-up for our Class. I am ranked 18^th in the State of Florida for serving aces for the 2022 season.  As a Libero, I have helped my travel volleyball team win bids to the USAV National Tournament in the last three years (2021,2022, 2023). I am Captain of my High School Volleyball team this 2023-2024 season. I have a 4.13 GPA. I am dual enrolled in college and am in honors classes. I volunteer during our club's Grassroots Program to help our Coaches teach beginner skills based on Gold Medal Squared training systems to 8-12 year-olds. I am looking for a team that mirrors my athletic and academic values. I have all the qualities to be a part of your team. I love volleyball!  Playing volleyball is the most invigorating, challenging, motivating, and inspiring thing I have ever done. I want more!
