Get to know 2028 Libero Cala Haffner!

I got to chat with 2028 libero Cala Haffner (PPV 265) from Pineapple Volleyball in Indiana and learn a little bit more than you can learn from just catching her on the court. She is an impressive libero playing up in the 17’s age division this season with her club team. Haffner showed up and showed out at NTDP this year and was one of the best in the age group. She moves better than most liberos her age and keeps her team in system more often than not. I have loved breaking down her film and can't wait to keep watching her ball out. She is impressive beyond her years.
