Judy Mancilla '24 Recruiting Profile

Hello coach, my name is Judy Mancilla. I am in the class of 2024. I always strive to be better than I was yesterday. After trying lots of other sports out I found my love for volleyball. From 2017-2018 I played 2 seasons for my middle school team at Blue Ridge Middle School. I advanced quickly self teaching myself the top spin jump serve. Then, later in 2018 I played at Blue Ridge Volleyball Club on the 14U team. From 2019 to present day I play and train year round at GoVolley Volleyball Club. For my first year at GoVolley I was on the 16U team then the following two years was on the 17U team. 

Outside of volleyball practice I always want to improve on my skills. I currently started weight training to strengthen my hits, and increase the height of my jump.

What is volleyball to me? Volleyball isn’t just a sport to me. It is my life, volleyball helped me in more ways than just fitness or a stress relief, it helped me find my voice and confidence in myself. When a practice is canceled my mood goes down and I don’t feel myself. I always crave to play.
