About Ivy

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a defender with an attacking mindset. I am confident on the ball and with different tactical styles. I play possession and can play direct, sending long balls to my forwards when the right opportunity is there. I was named MVP for Team Italy at CSSC camp 2025 and was the leading goal scorer for the U18 USA team in the European Maccabi youth games 2024.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I love to compete. My style of play can be described as tenacious. As a teammate, I am supportive and driven. Coaches tend to see me as athletic, versatile and creative. I am someone that my teammates and friends tend to trust.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I earned the "Rookie of the Year" award for my school newspaper and am now promoted to Sports Editor. I received the "Connected and Kind" award as a "Where Everyone Belongs" leader. I serve on the Principal's Advisory Committee at my school and am an active member in the California Scholarship Federation for the past four years.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I served as a WEB leader in 8th grade, a youth leadership program designed to provide mentorship to incoming middle school students in 6th grade. I have volunteered as a Madricha at my synagogue's Hebrew School for the past 4 years. I am a Junior Lifeguard and a member of NCL. I was a Team Captain of my High School Soccer Team as a Freshman. I coach youth soccer camps over the summer.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I have overcome a pretty significant injury that took me away from playing soccer for 12 weeks. It was very difficult to not be able to play, but I found ways to stay involved and connected to my team by attending all games and supporting my teammates. I also stayed focused on my recovery and thankfully, I came back stronger than I was before the injury.
