Ava Lyons '27 Recruiting Profile

I am very passionate about volleyball and would love to play it at the college level, specifically for a school that meets both my academic and athletic goals. Influenced by my many years as a volleyball player and equestrian, I am interested in pursuing a career in either physical therapy or physical medicine and rehabilitation. 

I have played the past four years for a competitive high school program (Burnt Hills - Ballston Lake High School) and six years for the premier club program in Upstate NY (Spa City) that both pride themselves on developing all around skilled players who understand that playing together as a team is the key to success. I am a defense specialist for both my school and club. I am known for my consistency on both serve receive and serving as well as my strong passing platform. I am also calm on the court and do not get rattled easily, leading my teammates by example. 

I pride myself on my work ethic and dedication to being the best all around player I can be. I continuously set personal goals for myself.  I attend a variety of camps and clinics throughout the club season and summer to continually improve my skills on all aspects of the game. From the additional training, I have learned that mental toughness and volleyball IQ is equally as important as the physical skills of the game.
