She is in the youth national team pool because she is a complete player for the position. She has the skill to be a weapon in the attack. She delivers a great cross for an outside back. She does well in sending in crosses while on the run. Her timing on the cross makes it difficult for the opposition to get behind the ball, which gives her side an attack advantage in many instances. The attacking foundation starts with a good first touch and good ball control. She has the defensive chops to handle the difficulty of a position that requires so much of a player in isolation.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6349c7364a293","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["33457"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Small is a very technical player. IMG Academy, her club, utilizes her as a midfielder - defensive with the opportunity to join the attack when she sees the chance. She sees the game so well that her club coaches basically turn over the keys to the gameplan to Small and let her quarterback her side. At the youth international level, she has played the left back position. She could play either role at the next level, which is a major reason why she is ranked so highly in the PrepSoccer National Rankings.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6349c75a4a294","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["33355"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Vapensky has been described as a generational talent.

She plays as a center back for her club team. She is going to be an early target for many programs because she is one of the best players in this position from the class. She is impressive defensively as she does well in 1v1 situations with her excellent tackling technique - she is one of the top prospects in timing her slide tackles. She is also an excellent passer. She has moments when she tries to do too much as she can hit any pass and will look long for those options.

Restovich always seems to make winning plays with her intelligence, which is why she is a top player for this class.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGyo5xJuX80","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGyo5xJuX80 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6349c8154a297","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["25159"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Klinger, the No. 1 player in the class of 2025, is the obvious talent that you would expect from the top player in the class.
