Peyton Pawlicki

I am a junior setter on the Carl Sandburg’s girls varsity volleyball team. This season I hit 500 career assists. I live in Orland Park, Illinois, a south suburb of Chicago. I grew up trying a several sports such as acro dance, soccer, basketball, and softball till I fell in love with volleyball. But in my spare time I enjoy listening to country music, spending time outdoors, especially at our family lake house. Nothing is better than family, and music while enjoying lake life. I am blessed to be so close with my grandparents and cousins while enjoying all of these special moments.

In volleyball I have had the opportunity to play each position on the court, working my way from a middle to now setter. For several years I played rightside/outside, but I have truly enjoyed the setter position. I like to take control of the court and love trying to out think my opponents. I was nominated as the Most Valuable Player in our high school hosted tournament. It was an honor. My sophomore year I was a varsity setter with an amazing group of girls.

At school I enjoy being part of Friendship Club. It’s an opportunity to connect with special needs students in our school after the school day ends. They are kindhearted and amazing. I am also looking forward to being part of People PE, a gym program that helps support special needs students as well. I have had the opportunity to watch my older sister love these programs and have seen the positive impact they make for all involved.

Looking forward to my junior year of high school and the group of girls I get to play with. This season should be good. I’m also excited to train for my 17 club season and all that 1st Alliance has to offer again. So many opportunities to grow and develop as a player.
