MADELINE LAFATA 2023

I’ve been playing both indoor and beach volleyball at the club level since I was 11. There are parts of the game that I love in both sports and know that the cross-training helps me grow my overall game.

For indoor, I play on Ozark Juniors 15-1’s Elite, as well as Fayetteville High School. My primary position has been Opposite/RS/Outside, but in high school am also utilized as a Setter. I’ve been taking private lessons for years and work weekly with an agility and strength trainer. I am a member of the Delta Region HP Team.

For sand, I play in adult and juniors leagues in Arkansas, but have also trained in Kansas City with Club P413 during the summer. I also travel to TX, LA and MO, CA and FL for camps, clinics and tournaments. I play with a variety of partners which improve my communication for both beach and indoor.

I’m originally from Arizona, but have lived mostly in Colorado and Arkansas. I’m very focused on academics, (4.0 GPA – AP/Honors). It’s important for me to find a school that is both academically selective and a good fit for me athletically. Right now, I am open-minded geographically.
