Three 15U Club Teams Making A Splash

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a highly competitive field in the 15U age group around volleyball clubs in Michigan, it's good to acknowledge some of the teams having a successful year outside of the elite squads.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's three Michigan 15U teams that have racked up the wins in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dead Frog 15 Black</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group of 2029 prospects have put together a pair of runner-up finishes in the 15 Premier Divisions, both in the Nike Classic and Presidents' Day Challenge. This is a balanced squad, led by the setting of <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='919979' first='Alexis' last='Crawford'] </strong>and the defensive play of <strong>Cassidy Pfenning</strong>. Both show good leadership skills and composure in the pressure positions. Dead Frog's hitting depth is strong with this team, as they have a lot of players that can power through the ball and finish off points with authority. On the outside <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='918780' first='Addison' last='Waldorf'], [player_tooltip player_id='900450' first='Brinley' last='Welke'], Lanie Overbeek </strong>and <strong>Kinley Reeves </strong>are dynamic options, while <strong>Lashell Blair</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='918852' first='Lilah' last='Maurer']</strong>, and <strong>Jordan Jackson </strong>are all capable of coming through with a timely kill or block. This team has a lot of promising talent that is showing it can compete with top teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>High Impact 15u List</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>High Impact has put together three different titles in 2025 over 15 Open/Club Divisions. That includes the Shoreline MLK Showcase, the Battle on the Border, and the Freedom Classic. These last two wins have come in competitive size pools of 30 teams. The play of setters <strong>Callie List </strong>and <strong>Mia Jacobs</strong> have made a real impact, as each can also play on the outside and be effective. They create a lot of lineup flexibility. <strong>Addison Hubbard </strong>has looked very explosive for a 2030 hitting prospect. She can play the middle or the outside, while <strong>Alyvia Peterson</strong> is also showing a lot of power on her attacks on the pin. <strong>Lillian Sweigart</strong> and <strong>Gretchen Sweigart </strong>are also putting some nice finishes on tape. Overall, this is a total team effort.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Monsters 15 Elite Black</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's already an over-30-win season for this group, as they have finished seventh or better in all five club tournaments for 2026. That includes a title in the 15 Club White division of the Presidents Day Challenge. Like the other teams included, this roster has a lot of versatility and flexibility. Defense has been a big strength for this group behind the likes of <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='850640' first='Mia' last='Russo']</strong>, <strong>Sydney McLaughlin</strong> and <strong>Kenley Koch</strong>. <strong>Natalie Meier </strong>runs the offense and is getting good improvement out of her hitters. <strong>Lexi Bray</strong>, <strong>Parker Edwards</strong>, and <strong>Jada Bogos</strong> patrol the middle and can be very disruptive to opposing hitters. On the outside, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='920732' first='Addison' last='Carroll']</strong>, <strong>Claire Gilbert</strong>, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='850477' first='Wren' last='Frailey'] </strong>are putting in the work to help this team to success, while Bray also has the ability to slide to the outside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
