AAU Nationals has a knack for drawing Nebraska teams to sunny Florida for summer competition. It’s a venue where many teams wrap up the club season, and we’ve seen big-time results from Great Plains squads, too. Let’s repeat the trend in 2024.
Wave 2 rolls out on Monday, and every 15U division is represented. That allows us to take a wholesale look at the entire age group and each of its Nebraska representatives.
We’ll do that here.
15 Open
Nebraska Elite 15 Revolution
What a great torchbearer for the 15 Open field.
Nebraska Elite 15 Revolution got a quick start on the USAV scene with a 15 Open championship at January’s Northern Lights Qualifier. It’s now time to venture over to AAUs, where 15 Revolution will again compete in the Open division.
This is a great chance to catch up on some of Nebraska Elite’s best 2027s.

15 Premier
Nebraska Juniors 15 Black
Nebraska ONE 15 Black
Here’s a pair of squads with a lot to prove in Orlando.
Nebraska Juniors 15 Black knows the rigors of Open-level competition and will compete in 15 Premier at AAUs.
Karsyn Christensen

We have lofty expectations for

15 Club
Nebraska Elite 15 Ignite
Nebraska Elite is going three-deep in AAU’s 15U divisions, so let’s bring on our second entry.
Like 15 Revolution, 15 Ignite started the year strong at NLQ and clinched a spot in the Gold bracket. This place several multi-talented players on our radar, including setter

15 Aspire
Club Legacy 15 Alpha
River City Jrs 15 Navy
Two more clubs enter the spotlight.
Club Legacy 15 Alpha will be a fascinating team to follow in the 15 Aspire race. This squad is poised to add several new names to our 2027 watch list, and this event will help lock in those entries.
Grace Samuelson

. Kennedy Hochstein was recently featured in one of our pin-hitter discussions.
River City Jrs 15 Navy accompanies Club Legacy to give Nebraska a pair of under-the-radar competitors in this division. We’ve highlighted several versatile athletes on this squad, including Maggie Lindauer Maggie Lindauer 5'2" | DS/L NE , Lizzie Krajicek Lizzie Krajicek 5'9" | OH NE , and Maddisyn Guenther Maddisyn Guenther 5'6" | S NE . A balanced effort could place River City Jrs among the frontrunners in 15 Aspire.
15 Spirit
Club Legacy 15 Bravo
River City Jrs 15 Red
This pairing is back and going two deep.
We have a lot to learn about this 15 Spirit duo when Wave 2 begins. Club Legacy 15 Bravo will look to Emma Nadgwick and Makinley Daugherty to lead the way, and several other names are bound to jump on our radar. The same can be said of River City Jrs 15 Red, which has already put players like Bailey Zaloudek and Miah Storr on our radar.
Who else ends up on our 2027 watch list after this one?
15 Elite
Nebraska Elite 15 Prime
Nebraska Juniors 15 Red
These could be some serious contenders in 15 Elite.
Nebraska Elite 15 Prime has been a common sight throughout our club travels. We’re always impressed with Molly McGreer’s backcourt command, which allows Addison Bradley Addison Bradley 5'6" | S Marian | 2027 NE to set her precise offense. Callie Petersen Callie Petersen 6'0" | OH Elkhorn | 2027 NE should produce plenty of highlight moments in the middle.
Nebraska Juniors reenters the fray with its 15 Red group. Paisley Bartek and Madi Kosmicki have captured our attention and are sure to be a factor in future 2027 watch lists. They’re not the only ones we have an eye on, either.
Eyes on Orlando.
