Kinleigh Gresham

Bio

Coaches Comments: "Kinleigh has athleticism and timing that allows her to play strong at the net with her attacking and blocking abilities. Her back row defensive skills and strong serving skills make her a perfect utility type player who gives us a variety of options. Kinleigh also has excellent court awareness, ball control, and has the ability to run a variety of sets with her experience playing multiple positions. We will take more of an advantage of her utility skills with her getting key minutes in right back defense, as well as, getting quality swings on the right side and from the back row. Her ability to back row attack will give us another weapon on our offense and allow us to stretch the net more against our opponents."
