Bailey Howell '24 Recruiting Profile

I have been a starter and key player on both my club and my school teams since I joined them.  I also play varsity tennis, and I have been on varsity all 3 years that I have participated, and I am a captain-elect for the upcoming tennis season.  I was one of the two captains on the 17U club team and the only captain on this year's 18U club team at Surge Volleyball Club RI, which is based in Aquidneck Island.  I have been with the club since its founding in 2019.  I was the only 8th grader in the entire program of high-schoolers, but regardless, I thrived.  Additionally, I spoke at the Town Hall meeting at which the club's request to install sand courts in a local park was approved.  In the winter, spring, and summer, I coach kids in grades 6-12 in grass and indoor volleyball through Surge, and I have been doing this for 3 years.  Over the last 3 summers, I have played in various beach leagues almost every night, and I have taken home quite a few titles from those.  Additionally, during this past summer I took on an administrative position within my club's beach volleyball program, which included running clinics and leagues, as well as continuing in my coaching position and playing in leagues.  I prefer playing on the right side of the beach court, but I am versatile and can adapt to any positioning and weather conditions.
