“Lily shows so much grit on the field. A powerhouse of a hitter and an aggressive baserunner. Love seeing her strive to get better every game!”— Coach Katie

13U Red has turned three double plays this fall! Their work on defense and tracking the ball is paying off. Following the ball, knowing where the runners are, and staying ready for the next out can turn one good play into two.

We love seeing the girls build that awareness and work together. Keep communicating, keep your eyes on the ball, and stay ready—every out matters!

A big shout-out to Danielle, Bella’s mom, for stepping into the Eagle costume! Thank you for bringing the laughs, joining the fun, and giving our girls a team photo to remember. That’s Lady Eagles spirit! 🦅

Being a Lady Eagle means giving your best in the classroom, too. School comes first: homework, studying, and getting enough rest help our players arrive ready to learn and play.

Families can help by setting aside homework time and encouraging players to speak up when they need support. The same habits we practice on the field—preparation, focus, and perseverance—can help at school. We’re proud of our girls for what they accomplish in both places!

To every parent and volunteer who helps with concessions, prepares the field, takes pictures, or cheers from the sidelines: thank you. Your time helps make these experiences possible for our players.

Have a favorite game or practice photo? We’d love to see it! Send it to agaagirlssports@gmail.com for a chance to be featured in a future newsletter.
