Lily Davidson '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Lily Davidson. I am currently a Junior at Wachusett Regional High School in Holden, MA. I first started playing rec volleyball in 3rd grade and honestly, I wanted to quit because passing hurt my arms. Thankfully, my parents didn’t let me and after that first season, I did start to enjoy volleyball. In 6th grade, I began playing 12U club volleyball at Mt. Olympus VBC (Mt O) in Salt Lake City, UT and that is when I really began to fall in love with it. From that point on, all I wanted to do was play volleyball. A few years later, I ended up thanking my parents for not letting me quit (and they love to remind me of that story and the fact that they were right). I started as an Outside Hitter, but because of my height, coaches lured me into what is now my primary position, Right Side. However, I love either one just as much as the other. I’m a very hard worker and a great teammate. I always try my hardest and always make sure my teammates feel appreciated when they do something well whether I’m on or off the court. Currently, I play for Central Mass Juniors VBC (CMASS) and I'm on the CMASS Edge 17 Black team. Last year we came in 1st place in the New England Region and went to the GJNC for the first time in our club's history. I’m always putting the time and effort in to get better. I like to take private lessons when I can and I’ve got a personal trainer to help me get stronger, move faster, and jump higher on the court. I have always been told that I am a very coachable player and I’m dedicated to being the best player I can be. Not only am I dedicated to myself and my team, but I am also dedicated to the sport. I made the Varsity team my Sophomore year and I was so honored to be one of only two Sophomores to make the Varsity team and the only Sophomore starter. I became very good friends with the Senior girls on that team and miss them a lot. This past season was a lot of fun as a returning Varsity player and at the end of the season, I was named a Captain for my Senior year (2024 season). My long term goal with volleyball is to continue to play in college while earning a degree. I put the same amount of effort into school as I do in volleyball and while I’m still not quite sure what I want to do in the future, I always work my hardest and aim to do the best I can. I enjoy staying active whether it’s playing volleyball or biking, skiing, and hiking. However, I will always love volleyball the most and hope to continue playing as long as I can.
