Reagan Celaya '23 Recruiting Profile

Prospective Coach,

My name is Reagan Celaya and I am with the graduating class of 2020 at Taylor High School in Katy, Texas.  I am currently a right side and outside hitter for my varsity high school team and I play all around for my club team.  I have played volleyball since I was 7 years old and I love it more with every passing year.  Every time I step on the court I strive to improve myself and my team.  I credit my excellent coaching staff for teaching me to become a well rounded player with the ability to play any position, front or back row.

The following are a few of my athletic achievements earned during my school volleyball seasons:

• 2016 - Sophomore Year
• Taylor High School Varsity Volleyball Team

• 2016 - Freshman Year
• Highest recorded count of Blocks, Kills, and Aces on Freshman-A team
• Offensive MVP
• Best Blocker Award
• "Rising Star" Award given to the most outstanding high school player out of the freshman and sophomore classes.  

• 2015 - 8th Grade Year
• Over-All MVP
• Offensive MVP
• Athlete of the Year
• 2nd Place in District Championships

• 2014 - 7th Grade Year
• Over-All MVP
• Defensive MVP
• 1st Place in District Championships

My freshman year, I was also invited to tryout with the varsity team where I had an opportunity next year to play in a 6-2 rotation as a back row setter and a front row hitter.  

During my 2016 club season, my team took 3rd place in the no-bid division at the Lone Star Regional Conference.  Additionally, my team took 1st place at 7 of the 13 tournaments last year for pool one, and we achieved 2nd place twice.

My parents also instilled in me the belief that we should show respect for all that we have by helping those that cannot help themselves.  I am a proud member of the National Charity League - Katy Chapter.  I have been blessed to receive several awards to include: 

• Most Philanthropy Hours
• Mission Bell Award (Texas Children's Hospital),
• Yellow Rose Award (Most Service Hours)
• Yellow Rosebud Award (Most Service Hours)
• Hourglass Award (Most Service Hours)
• Modelette Award (Servicing Multiple Philanthropies)

One of my goals is to play professional volleyball for an international league with the hope of playing for the U.S. Olympic team.  I believe playing volleyball in college will allow me to achieve my goal.  My versatility, dedication, and integrity as a player on and off the court is a testament to the way I represent myself, my team, and my school. 

I am searching for the best blend of high level volleyball and academic experience.  I'm taking Pre-AP/GT courses and maintaining a 4.1 GPA.  As a competitor on the court, I posses the same desire for academic excellence.  In college I would like to pursue a major in law, history and/or social science. 

I look forward to having an opportunity to speak with you about becoming a valued member of your team.

Regards,

Reagan Celaya
