Rowan Walsh '22 Recruiting Profile

I started playing volleyball just before my Freshman year of high school.  I made the high school team and loved the sport so much that I tried out and made a club team. I played mostly outside and some libero my first club year. The past 2 years, I made the Nationals/A club team and am playing outside and opposite. This past year's high school season,  I stayed on for the full rotation and would shift to outside or middle for the kills.  I also volunteered to help coach younger volleyball players on a rec league.  Due to Covid, the "fall season" of volleyball in high school happened during the winter and was a very shortened season.  The club season was during the same time.  In addition to volleyball, I also play lacrosse for both my high school and for club. I have 11 years of lacrosse experience. See my NCSA lacrosse profile for more details, but full length video and highlights are on my ConnectLax account. https://www.connectlax.com/profile/RowanW10

I was chosen twice by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for a Fall and Spring trip that were amazing and so much fun.
