As fall softball comes to a close, we want to thank every Lady Eagles player and parent for making this a great year. Your effort, encouragement, and support made this season special, and we’re grateful to have you in our flock.
Only one team took the field this past weekend, and our 10U Lady Eagles came away with a strong 6–1 win over the WHC 10U Flaming Fireballs. Way to finish strong, 10U!
Basketball registration closes this Friday, November 13. We’ll send families an email this week with updates about basketball teams and coaches, so keep an eye on your inbox.
And as we head into the season of gratitude, the Lady Eagles and Arbutus Little League are standing together for a member of our community, Bobby Mitchell. Read more below and find the raffle flyer with ticket details.

10U Finishes with a Win
Lady Eagles 10U · Win
6–1
over WHC 10U Flaming Fireballs
Our only team in action this weekend brought home the win!
Straight from the Beak
High Ball, Glove Up. Low Ball, Glove Down.
The height of the throw tells you which way to turn your glove:
Above the waist: Fingers up, glove pocket facing the ball.
Below the waist: Fingers down, glove pocket facing the ball. Bend your knees on low throws instead of just reaching.
Show the ball your glove pocket early, catch it out in front, and watch it all the way in.
🥎 Lady Eagles Challenge: Grab a partner and mix up 10 easy tosses above and below the waist. See if you can catch 8 out of 10 with the glove turned the right way before the ball gets there.
Our parents are a huge part of everything the Lady Eagles do. You get the girls to practices and games, help them get ready, cheer them on through every inning, and support them through the good days and the tough ones.
That steady encouragement gives our players the confidence to try, learn, and grow. It also gives our coaches and volunteers the support that makes this whole program possible. From the field to the stands to every community event, you show up for these girls and for one another.
Thank you for trusting us with your players, giving your time, and helping make the Lady Eagles family what it is. We’re grateful for every one of you.

All Hustle, No Pulse
“They told me to get out there and work the field, so I put my whole skeleton into it! This diamond’s getting a little TLC before the Lady Eagles take over. No pulse, all hustle—Sally’s got this field covered!” ⚾💀
