2026 Legacy Club Profile: 16-2 ADIDAS

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Legacy 16-2 ADIDAS has already put itself up against many of the top club teams in the country in the 16U age bracket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The team is looking to find its stride with a consistent winning formula, but these early losses should pay off for a team with loads of talent that can impact the game in all three phases.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at this squad, which is coached by Taylor Dominowski.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='742032' first='Nyla' last='Linton'] - S</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='765805' first='Kourey' last='Perkins'] - MB</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='939675' first='Audrey' last='Tobin'] - MB</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='765783' first='Ava' last='Finney'] - MB</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='587002' first='Cydnee' last='Speights'] - OH</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='587007' first='Julia' last='Kavaliauskas'] - OH</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='584627' first='Shalamar' last='Guerrant'] - OH</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='804575' first='Anna' last='Naida'] - L/DS</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='849554' first='Madison' last='Gammon'] - L/DS</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='791423' first='Allison' last='Lee'] - L/DS</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='744594' first='Audrey' last='Collier'] - OH</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Outside Power</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the strengths of this team is the explosive power they have on the outside. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='587002' first='Cydnee' last='Speights'] </strong>can really get above the net and deliver potent attacks from either side, while <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='584627' first='Shalamar' last='Guerrant']</strong> is developing into a well-rounded talent that also has great lift off the floor. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='587007' first='Julia' last='Kavaliauskas'] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='744594' first='Audrey' last='Collier'] </strong>show a lot of high-level play in all phases as well and know how to turn their swings up another gear.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Poised Middles</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Complementing the outsides will be a trio of middles in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='939675' first='Audrey' last='Tobin']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='765805' first='Kourey' last='Perkins']</strong>, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='765783' first='Ava' last='Finney']</strong>. Each brings good length and they have the footwork and court awareness to be a special group. Each has their own strengths, but collectively they will be able to be impactful middles that will keep defenses honest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Core Leadership</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Running the offense and defense will be some core leadership players. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='742032' first='Nyla' last='Linton'] </strong>has the setting duties this club season and she's quickly gelling with her hitters and finding new ways to mix up the attack. Defensively, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='804575' first='Anna' last='Naida']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='849554' first='Madison' last='Gammon']</strong>, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='791423' first='Allison' last='Lee'] </strong>are three reliable and consistent back row talents that give Legacy some depth to work with. Each one of the three has faced top-level hitting and know what to expect at the Open level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Expectations</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The results haven't quite been what Legacy is looking for as of yet, but 16-2 ADIDAS has also been playing against top competition. The Nike Classic saw this team grind out some key three-set wins. Those character-building wins should help moving forward. About half of the team is new to the roster, so developing chemistry will remain a key. There are a lot of high-IQ players, so they will find ways to be competitive and sneak out some wins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
