Kelli Manning '12 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Kelli, I'm 5'3" senior libero and live in Racine, Wisconsin.  I have played a total of 5 years, 4 of those five I have played with three clubs, Raytown Volleyball Club, Racine Select and finally Wisconsin Juniors Volleyball.  I have been on varsity for 3 years, All-Conference-Honorable-Mention my junior year, All-Conference-2nd-team my senior year.
Even though I'm late in the game, especailly for recruiting my heart still craves to play in college.  I could not stop playing once high school ends when the game's competitive aspect intrigues me so much.  When I'm on that court a leader comes out of me and I care more for the needs and abilities of my team then myself.  I can play anywhere in the back row and have good experience with taking that second ball in setters out situations from my past years of setting.  If you have been on my team or watched me play, my voice is the one going non stop whether it be telling my hitters what's open or my defensive specialists where the ball is going next.  Involving the colleges I'm intrested in, small, large, private, public or division, I am very open to whatever great opportunity that comes my way.  Majors that I am intrested in are Occupational Therapy and Marine Biology.  So the coast would be a plus for my college, but if you have neither majors I am still open to finding exactly what my career will be and interested in what anyone has to offer.
