Lilly Bandle '23 Recruiting Profile

Hi!! My name is Lillian Bandle, but everyone calls me Lilly. I am a 6’1 Middle Blocker from Jackson, Wi. All-though i play middle for both high school and club, I am able to hit from anywhere. I also set a lot in sand and can set for both teams if ever needed.   I have played on varsity, and have been a starter, in both of my seasons at West Bend East High School, also earning the 2nd highest block percentage in the north-shore conference my sophmore year. And I have played 6 years of club before the current one. Along with that I have been playing sand volleyball for most of my life. I have always been the first one in the gym and the last one putting in a few more reps before packing up. I’m the annoying girl on the other side of the court cheering as loud as she can for every good play and point we can get. I love going to camps and meeting to people, cheering on everyone, even if I don’t know them, as loud as i can. I’ve met a lot of friends in the sport. My dad, when he got out of college, traveled around the country with his friends watching AVC sand volleyball leagues, and has continued playing with said friends even now. And I really aspire to do that, I really want to continue playing after college for fun with my friends and teach my kids how to play. College volleyball and college alone are some of the things I want to accomplish so I can get to that point. I would prefer to go a division level school but I am open to any options that may be given. I have a strong pull towards marine biology, I really like the idea of a job outside or always moving, I don’t like the idea of living behind a desk for the rest of my life. For playing in college I don’t really care what division or level of play I am at, I would love to play as high as I can get but the sport is more than just a title for me. I want to have fun and learn how to play better, not be the absolute best player on the team. Anyways thank you for taking the time to read this far!!
