In Georgia's ultra-competitive club volleyball landscape, A5 Mizuno's 15-Kelly team has already set the tone for the 2026 season. The group opened the year by capturing gold in the 16 Power division at the 2025 Winter Classic, signaling both confidence and readiness against elevated competition.   What separates this squad is the blend of individual talent and collective chemistry, allowing them to execute with discipline while still playing aggressively. From serve pressure to defensive consistency, they've built a roster designed to control matches. As the season progresses toward nationals, this is a team clearly built with championship intentions.    Olivia controls the offense with composure, delivering sets effectively under pressure.

Her competitive spirit and physical tools make her a standout middle with continued growth ahead.~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast     Madison plays beyond her age with a physical and competitive presence at the net.

Combined with her energy and communication, she brings both reliability and leadership to the defensive unit.~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast     Macurdy brings a physical presence and athletic edge to the pin, using her size and arm speed to be effective in both high-tempo and transition situations. She shows confidence attacking from a variety of angles and continues to develop her ability to score efficiently against organized blocks. As her all-around game continues to mature, she projects as a high-impact outside with long-term upside.~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast    Together, these five athletes represent the depth and direction of Georgia's rising volleyball talent.
