We are very excited to announce part one of the Class of 2024 Watch List for the 2021 club season! This list is compiled of well-known players within their age group and those who may not yet have had the opportunity to shine on their high school teams since they were playing or will be playing alongside and against players above their age. How did we compile this list, you ask? We used independent research and asked coaches to nominate players from outside their own clubs that impressed them in competition. Players are listed by their primary positions, then alphabetically by first name. So if a player is listed as multiple positions, they can be found under the primary position submitted by the coach who nominated them or by our selection. 

The list will be released daily by position, and we're starting with liberos and defensive specialists. Defenders, you know them, you love them, and today we're celebrating them. Thank you to all those coaches that helped us curate this year's list.

Note: This is NOT a ranking by any means. It is simply a list of players who have the potential and skills to become elite-level athletes and that PrepVB, spectators, and the coaches who nominated them alike should keep an eye on in the years to come. So, there's no need to be up in arms if a player is left off the list. It holds absolutely no representation of their self-worth. Please only reach out to us if there is a discrepancy with positions, name corrections, club teams, or heights.

Without further ado, we give you the Liberos and Defensive Specialists of the Class of 2024 Watch List.
