What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreEver since they discovered volleyball in late 2023, they've fallen in love with every part of the game. They love the challenge of learning, the excitement of every rally, and being part of a team that pushes each other to improve. What they enjoy most is seeing their hard work pay off and knowing they can always become a better player.
Madison Skinner has been one of the biggest inspirations in my child's volleyball journey. Watching her work ethic, confidence, and passion for the game has motivated them to keep improving and never give up. Off the court, our family has always been there cheering them on through every practice, game, and setback, reminding them to keep believing in themselves and enjoy every moment of the journey.
The moment that makes me proudest wasn't a single win—it was earning a spot on varsity after only beginning volleyball in late 2023. At 5'5", they've taken on the challenge of playing middle blocker, worked through injuries, learned nearly every position, and never let setbacks stop them. Their determination, resilience, and love for the game make me proud every single day
