Ultiworld is pleased to announce our annual Club Awards, starting with the All-Club First Team and Player of the Year finalists in each division. While we consider both regular season and postseason performance, because of the nature of the Club division, we weight success in the Series and at Nationals above all else. The Club Awards are voted on by Ultiworld reporters, contributors, and editors.

Our All-Club teams recognize the top performers across the division. Our First Team and Second Team display the top seven and next seven players who had the best seasons. As our voting process is ordered, the top vote-getters for All-Club honors function as the ordered list in our Player of the Year voting — our highest individual award. The seven players listed here are finalists for the Player of the Year.

All-Club 2025 First Team

Aaron Bartlett (Hybrid)

Aaron Bartlett’s third straight championship season was his best one yet. The Michigan product once again made his name as an offensive tour-de-force, doing anything and everything Hybrid asked of him en route to another double-double at Nationals (13G/15A), this time leading the team in both stats.

Travis Dunn (Lawless)

Somehow, one of the biggest impact players had a (relatively) quiet season compared to the past few years, resulting in suboptimal results for Arizona Lawless. However, when it really mattered, Travis Dunn turned his superpower of transforming into an unstoppable force back on, and Lawless not only stole a Nationals bid, but also made their way to quarters. One thing is clear: Dunn’s capacity to shine everywhere on the field (leading to 22 assists at Nationals) means that when he says it’s time to play, everyone else better buckle up.

Robyn Fennig (Tower)

Perhaps the one word that best describes Robyn Fennig’s season is “consistency.”1 As one of the leaders of the team, both in stats and as a captain, Fennig had plays that only she could make, knew the right throws to execute, and could always be counted on to light up the field2. And yet even after years of this sort of thing, her big plays, such as layout catches, money throws, point-saving blocks, and abilities to find the endzone3, are anything but ordinary and continue to astound.

Sadie Jezierski (XIST)

No one benefitted more from a change of scenery in 2025 than Sadie Jezierski, who reunited with her former college teammates on XIST and put together a season reminiscent of those storied OSU Fever teams. Her semifinal masterpiece was the cherry on top of an outstanding debut season for New York.

Tannor Johnson-Go (Sprocket)

Sometimes, stats can lie. But when you lead the division in goals (17) and assists (28), while only turning the disc six times, there’s only one way to view those numbers. No one could slow down Tannor Johnson-Go in 2025, and he pressed that advantage as often as he could.

Jolie Krebs (XIST)

If there’s any player who has made their mark on the 2025 season, it’s Jolie Krebs. Her step into the offensive center handler position only made sense, with her mind-bending dimes and abilities to take over the game at any point. Always a reliable receiver and an astute thrower, the 2024 Callahan winner has stepped up in more ways than ever before and made her way onto our prestigious All-Club list.

Rachel Mast (Hybrid)

It can be hard to summon the drive necessary to take a second straight title. There would be no resting on laurels for Hybrid this season, though, and no one set that hungry tone better than Mast. Her smashmouth offensive play (and, when it became necessary, relentless defense after the turn) was the fire that powered their championship-winning engine from the season’s first pull to the last.
