Rain may have kept us off the diamond this weekend, but it couldn’t dampen the spirit of the Lady Eagles community. While our teams waited for the skies to clear, our commissioner and league volunteers were busy bringing that same energy to local families at the AES trunk-or-treat and a smaller trunk-or-treat event at LHS.
These events gave us a wonderful opportunity to share Halloween fun, connect with neighbors, and show what makes the Lady Eagles family so special. Thank you to everyone who helped decorate, hand out treats, and represent AGAA in the community!
Now, after a rainy weekend and a busy week around town, we’re ready to return to the field. This Saturday, the Lady Eagles family will come together for a special 13U matchup as Gold welcomes Red!

This Week at a Glance
Saturday, October 24: Gold Welcomes Red!
Our two 13U Lady Eagles teams face each other at 11 a.m. at Arbutus Elementary School, 1300 Sulphur Springs Road.
Wear your Lady Eagles gear and come cheer on both teams. Different jersey colors, one Lady Eagles family!
10U: No game scheduled this Saturday.
Basketball registration is building!
We’re excited to be partnering with EYO for the basketball season and look forward to seeing our girls take their energy from the diamond to the court.
Registration is open for 6U instructional, 8U, 10U, 13U, and 18U, with a $125 registration fee. We’re also looking for coaches!
Our Halloween calendar isn’t finished yet! Here’s our next stop:
October 30: ArBOOtus Trunk or Treat, 6–8 p.m., at East Drive and Maple Avenue.
We love getting out into the community, meeting new families, and showing what being a Lady Eagle is all about. We hope to see familiar faces—and some great costumes—at our next event!
Coach’s Corner: Five Minutes to Get Ready
A little practice each day can build a good habit. This week’s challenge: spend five minutes practicing your softball ready stance.
Start with your feet about shoulder-width apart, knees comfortably bent, and your weight balanced toward the balls of your feet. Keep your head up, eyes forward, and hands ready.
Have a parent call “Ready!” Then take a small step left or right, reset, and get ready again. Focus on staying balanced and moving your feet.
Ready before the pitch means ready for the play!
Beyond the Wings: Thank You, Katie Young
This week, we want to recognize Katie Young—our commissioner and 13U Red head coach.
Balancing family, everyday responsibilities, and running a youth sports program takes a tremendous amount of time and care. Even with a full plate, Katie continues to show up for our players and coaches.
Since taking over, she has put so much work into helping AGAA grow. From getting the Lady Eagles more involved in community events to working hard on merchandise and supporting our teams, much of what she does happens long before families arrive at the field—and continues after everyone heads home.
Katie, thank you for the time, heart, and effort you give this organization. Your commitment helps create opportunities, friendships, and memories for our girls.
We see your work, and we appreciate you! ❤️💛
