Laurissa Zavala '18 Recruiting Profile

My name is Laurissa Zavala and I live in The Colony, Texas.  I will graduate from The Colony High School in 2018.  Currently I am a Junior on the Varsity team.

My Freshman year I was a starter for the Freshman A-team as a middle hitter.  My sophomore year I played as a middle and outside hitter for the JV team.  During my Sophomore year, I was voted "Outstanding Hitter" for our JV-Team.  My Junior year I was a starter for the Varsity team as a middle and outside hitter.  I was chosen for the 2016 UIL All-District 2nd-Team and 2016 All-District All Academic Team.

I have been playing volleyball since the 5th grade and club volleyball since the 8th grade.  I have also played soccer and club basketball, but decided to stay with volleyball full-time in 2013.

In 2013-14, I was a middle hitter for Force Volleyball Club in Plano, Texas with Coach Michelle.  In 2014-15, I was the starting middle hitter for Frisco Flyers Volleyball Club in Frisco, TX with Coach Josh.  I am currently playing right side and middle hitter for Frisco Flyers Volleyball Club with Coach Kristi.  In 2016-2017 I will be playing for Attack Volleyball in Lewisville, TX.

I am very competitive.  I would be a great asset in competitive volleyball because I always respect my teammates and coaches.  I ask questions and I pay attention to what they say.   I try to encourage my teammates to do their best. 

I am an A-honor roll student and love school.  I am very interested in the medical field, mainly sports medicine.   I currently help our sports trainer in the mornings and some evenings with players needing therapies.   I would love to play volleyball in college while I earn my degree.

Thank you for looking over my profile.
