🏐✨ RISE 16 NATIONAL 1 — WHAT A SEASON! ✨🏐

We are beyond proud of our Rise 16 National 1 team and everything they accomplished this season. This group didn’t just compete — they dominated, they inspired, and they made history.

🥇 1st Place — Gold | Prez Day Showdown | Ridgefield, WA 🥇 1st Place — Bronze | Nike Qualifier | Boston, MA 🥇 1st Place — Gold | Emperor’s Cup | Las Vegas, NV

Three tournaments. Three championships. And in doing so, this team broke club records in wins — a milestone that speaks to the level of dedication, grit, and heart this group brought to the court every single time they stepped on it.

But what made this team truly special wasn’t just the trophies. It was the work ethic — day in and day out, putting in the effort when no one was watching. It was the way they showed up for each other as teammates and as humans, building something bigger than volleyball. It was the way they never lost their love for the game — competing hard, having fun, and reminding everyone around them why this sport is so beautiful.

To our Rise 16 National 1 athletes — you have set a standard at this club that will be talked about for years to come. We are so proud of who you are on the court and even more proud of who you are off it. 💙🧡

We cannot wait to see what the future holds for each and every one of you. The best is still ahead.

Congratulations, Rise 16 National 1. Rise up! 🏔️

🏐SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Elyse Callison

Elyse Callison has been a steady and uplifting presence on the Jon 18 National team throughout her time at Rise this season. As a setter, Elyse brought confidence, leadership, and connection to the court while helping create the strong team chemistry that made this season so special.

After graduating from Mountain View High School, Elyse plans to attend Boise State University while continuing to enjoy volleyball for fun. Some of her favorite memories at Rise came from the simple moments spent laughing with teammates at practices and tournaments, creating friendships and memories she will carry long after her playing days.

Through volleyball, Elyse gained confidence and learned what it truly takes to make a team successful. Her advice to younger athletes is to work hard for their goals while still enjoying the journey and having fun along the way. Whether she was listening to Michael Jackson before matches or supporting teammates on and off the court, Elyse helped make Rise feel like family.

Rise gave Elyse confidence, lifelong friendships, and a deeper belief in what she is capable of accomplishing through hard work and perseverance. We are so proud of Elyse and excited to see all she accomplishes in this next chapter.

🏐SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Mackenzie Carter

Mackenzie Carter has been a fierce competitor and supportive teammate for the 18 National team, bringing hard work, positivity, and determination to every practice and tournament. As an outside hitter and opposite, Mackenzie consistently pushed herself and encouraged those around her to do the same.

After graduating from Rocky Mountain High School, Mackenzie will continue her volleyball career at Dakota County Technical College while studying interior design. Volleyball has taught her the importance of believing in herself, working hard, and never allowing outside opinions to create doubt. She credits Coach Parker and her past teammates as some of the biggest influences throughout her volleyball journey.

One of Mackenzie’s favorite parts of Rise has been the constant laughter and support shared with teammates both on and off the court. Her advice to younger athletes is to remember that they are capable of anything they put their minds to and to always choose kindness along the way. Rise helped Mackenzie learn the value of supporting teammates and building each other up, lessons that will continue far beyond volleyball. We are so excited to see her continue competing at the next level and cannot wait to see all she accomplishes.
