Ali Castro admits that when she first started playing volleyball, she really wanted to be an outside hitter. There is, after all, a lot of excitement in a hard shot which booms off the floor and draws a roar from the crowd.
One of her coaches, however, suggested she try her hand at setting.
“At first, I wasn’t that into it,” Castro, a Trumbull High senior, said. “But I said sure, I’ll try it. I eventually came to the conclusion that I really like running the court more than anything.”
