Erin Confortini is a senior and a member of the volleyball team.

Confortini has been on the volleyball team since her freshman year and she is finally a leader on the squad. She has been a key player in the past and she looks to continue that reputation in her last year with the Rockets. With the seniors from last year leaving, she is now one of the leaders of the team.

“It really is nice to be able to lead the team,” Confortini said. “I enjoy being the oldest and most experienced on the team. Not only because it helps my game, but I can also help some of the younger players out. Then when I’m gone, they’ll do the same. That’s just a part of high school sports.”

Confortini is mainly a setter and that is her definite strength as a player. She is the transition between the bump and the spike, so she plays a very pivotal part in the team’s success. She is very good at adjusting on the fly and that’s what makes her a great player.

“I’ve really found that I’m best at setting,” explained Confortini. “I really enjoy it, but I am tall for a setter which allows me to do other things from my position as well.”

Volleyball is a sport around here that starts to be available through the school in middle school. Confortini began to play volleyball in seventh grade because it looked like a good time, but she has found another reason to love the game now.

“At first it looked like a fun game to play, but I have really have learned to love the intensity and the skill required to play it. It’s not easy as it seems, if it was easy, everyone could do it.”

Confortini is looking for the team to have success this season. If the team works together well, it will definitely lead to success.
