TALEN PALPALLATOC
CLASS OF 2020

Hello Coach!
I am a Junior Setter from Murrieta, California.  I grew up with a large volleyball family.  Not only did my parents play volleyball but they also owned 951 Elite Volleyball and many of the players and parents there became an extended volleyball family.  Once I decided to start playing volleyball seriously, I spent every chance I could in the gym.  I am now on my 2nd year playing club volleyball as a Setter.  I am eager to learn as much as I can about the game so I continue to spend a lot of extra time in the gym and watching videos of players and teams that I respect and scouting teams that I want to beat.  My dad, Dennis Palpallatoc, has been coaching volleyball for over 30 years.  In the last 2 years, I spent a lot of time with his teams.  
  
I will be playing Varsity volleyball at Murrieta Valley High School this year.  They went to State Finals last year so I am looking forward to giving my all to get to the State Finals with them this year.    

Academics are also very important to me.  I currently have a 3.5 GPA and am studying to take my first SAT.  I enjoy creating videos and spending time with friends and family.
