Welcoming our 13s back to the fold after their Halloween Bash in Grimes this weekend! While we didn’t take any hardware home, they still played hard and held their own in 14B this weekend!

Thank you Malachi Customs for the team gear!

Huge shoutout to this team! In true Westside fashion, we were approached by an opposing team’s coach to tell us how polite this team of girls is! Way to show up J-Hawks!

Honorable mentions to Harper on her game one homer and Zari for game three pitching! Both earned MVP nominations and took home tags for their hard work out there. Great job girls!

Special shoutout to Coach Ben on his birthday today! We hope you had fun celebrating J-Hawk 80s style!

This past weekend, our Jr. J-Hawk girls took the field for something bigger than wins, losses, or the game we all love.

We were honored to be part of the 8th Annual Mya Strong Softball Tournament, alongside a record-breaking 73 teams, all coming together for one incredible purpose, supporting children and families fighting pediatric cancer.

Behind this tournament is an extraordinary young woman, Mya Gilchrist, who has battled brain cancer three times and turned her own journey into a mission to help others.

As coaches and parents, we spend so much time teaching our girls about teamwork, determination, resilience, and never giving up. But weekends like this remind us that some of the most important lessons they'll learn through softball have nothing to do with what happens on the field.

It's about showing up for others. It's about compassion. It's about being part of something bigger than yourself.

We hope that years from now, when these girls look back on their softball days, they remember more than the games they won or the plays they made. We hope they remember moments like these, when a community came together, when softball became a way to give back, and when simply stepping onto the field meant making a difference.

We are proud to be a small part of something so meaningful. 🥎💙🎗️

12U and 10U both hit the diamond this weekend. 💎

And weekends like this are about so much more than what shows up in the scorebook.

They’re about the girl who shakes off a tough inning and goes back out there.

The teammate waiting at home plate.

The dugout that keeps cheering.

The little victories that might go unnoticed from the stands, but mean everything to the girls and coaches who have been putting in the work.

These girls played. They battled. They learned. And they grew.

Every inning is another rep. Every mistake is something to learn from. Every hard-fought play builds a little more confidence. And every weekend together is another piece of becoming a TEAM.

We’re watching these girls learn to trust each other, encourage each other and keep showing up for one another and that’s pretty special.

Keep showing up. Keep working. Keep believing in each other. Keep that confidence.

This is how teams are built. We are so proud of you!!💙🥎

***13u tournament is now CANCELED due to rain/field conditions!

Our 13u team will have rain delays today for their Pumpkin Bash at Coralville Youth Sports Park. Currently slated to start game one at 10a. Please reach out to Callie with any questions on scheduling!

Our 10U girls battled through the rain on Sunday and came home with a 2nd place finish.

Wet uniforms. Muddy cleats. Big smiles. And some well-earned hardware.

Way to battle, 10U! We’re proud of you! 🏆🥎
