Aug. 24, 2026 (LEXINGTON, KY) —
The American Volleyball Coaches Association is pleased to announce the 2026 AVCA Phenom Watch List and AVCA Girls High School All-America Watch List.

This year, a record-breaking 4,845 athletes are honored by the AVCA Phenom Watch List, comprised of the top Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors in the country. The AVCA All-America Watch List is comprised of over 1,000 of the top Senior volleyball players in the nation.

Uncommitted athletes on the AVCA Phenom and All-America Watch List will be invited to participate in the AVCA Phenom College Prep Program. Since the start of the Phenom Program, 80% of participating athletes end up on college rosters! This year's program will be held from December 17-19, 2026, in San Antonio, TX.

This year, we are honored to have four athletes named to the All-America Watch List: Kalli Fox, Darcy Shuck, Kenzie Smith, and Caryl Womack. We also have two athletes nominated for the Phenom Watch List: Zoë Morgan and EJ Rice.

These are tremendous honors and a great reflection of the hard work, dedication, and time spent in the gym. The competitive cauldron we have created within our program continues to push our athletes to get better every day. Congratulations to all six, and way to represent Santa Fe Volleyball!
