Setting is one of the most critical skills in volleyball. A great setter controls the pace of the game, makes smart decisions, and leads the team’s offense. For young athletes looking to improve their setting skills, the NU BREED Setters Clinic with Amaya Keovilaysane offers a unique opportunity. This clinic focuses on the fundamentals and advanced techniques that help setters stand out on the court. Why Setting Skills Matter A setter is often called the quarterback of the vo

At NU BREED, we believe that legacy is not measured by ease—but by endurance. Not by what was given, but by what was built through faith, work, and resolve. That belief endures through the Felicitas C. Lara Scholarship, awarded to a NU BREED senior who has demonstrated three seasons of commitment, growth, and loyalty to this program.

At NU Breed, we teach our athletes something early: Pressure doesn’t make you mess up. It shows what you’ve been practicing. When the game gets tight… When the clock is low… When everyone’s watching… Your talent doesn’t suddenly take over. What shows up is your standard. If you practice locked-in, you play locked-in. If you practice cutting corners, pressure finds those corners fast. That’s why we don’t train the easy way at NU Breed. We train the right way. We train tired.
