Anna Belluomo '23 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing volleyball since 5th grade.  I joined the middle school league while I was still in elementary school.  I have dreamed of playing volleyball in college for as long as I can remember.  

I always thought that I would play DS/L for an indoor team.  About 4 years ago, I began playing sand volleyball in the summers just for fun.  I knew it would improve my indoor game and I loved it.  I almost made the switch to a full time beach player last year, but I made a National level indoor team and thought it would be fun to play at the top level in the country.  Our team had a great season.  We traveled to Indianapolis for the National Tournament.  

Even though I missed out on a very important Beach Volleyball season - I feel that I had great coaching and really improved my defense.  I will bring these new skills to my beach game and look forward to focusing on beach volleyball this spring and summer.  In 2021, I qualified and competed in USAV Beach Volleyball Nationals when I was just doing it for fun.  I am excited to see how good I can get this year when I really put all my time and effort into it.

I am a good team-mate, extremely coach-able, naturally athletic and very competitive.  I look forward to playing beach volleyball in college and can't wait to see what the future holds.
