The Final Recap of Your 2026 Falls Athletics 12U âžď¸
Now that the boys are back to school and officially heading into 7th grade, itâs hard to believe that their Little League careers have come to an end.
For the past three seasons, weâve watched 12 boys grow.. not only as baseball players, but as young men. We couldnât be more proud of everything they have accomplished, both on the field and in the community.
And what a way to finish it.
COOPERSTOWN
The boys played 8 games in Cooperstown.. 5 pool-play games, followed by 2 playoff victories before falling in the final game at 4:00 AM.
Little did they know at the time, that game would be the last time they would ever take the field together as a team.
As a team in Cooperstown:
âžď¸ 95 hits
đŁ 18 home runs
đĽ 90 RBIs
đĽ 6 different boys hit home runs
Over the last three seasons, we had 8 different boys hit home runs, and 8 of the 12 boys hit at least one home run during their Little League careers.
That is something these boys should be incredibly proud of.
âžď¸ THE JOURNEY
At 10U, this group won the Rumble on the River and the Wounded Warrior Tournament at Levittown Alliance. They also battled their way through 10U Districts, ultimately falling in the semifinals.
At 11U, it was time to make the jump to 50/70. There was a lot to learn, but the boys embraced it, learned the fundamentals, and continued to execute and improve.
Then came 12U.
From the very beginning, the coaches reminded the boys that this was their last year together as a Little League team. We told them to take every practice, every game, every bus ride, every laugh and every moment together ⌠and cherish it.
They did just that.
This year, Falls Little League entered District 30 for the first time, and this group went out and finished 4th out of 12 teams. Falls Little League
They didnât just compete.
They put Falls Little League back on the map.
This was a town team that made huge strides over three seasons and developed into one of the top teams in the area. More importantly, they did it together.
OUR COACHES
We also want to give a very special thank you to Coach Andrew Klimowicz, who has been with this team since the very beginning.
He got to watch these boys grow from the start, and we are incredibly grateful that he was a part of their journey.
A huge thank you as well to Coach Cole and Coach Shane.
Coach Shane joined us at 10U, and Coach Cole joined us at 11U. Both became huge pieces of this team and played a major role in helping these boys become the players and young men they are today.
Having high school players give up their free time, come coach these boys, and still make time to play varsity baseball themselves is something we truly appreciate.
Thank you, Andrew, Cole and Shane. You will always be a part of this team.
ONE LAST TIME
Last week, we had our final get-together as a team.
We played some wiffle ball, laughed, hung out, and handed out their Cooperstown rings and trading cards to each other.
It was a simple night, but one that we know everyone will remember.
Because this time, there was no next practice.
No next tournament.
No next Little League game.
Just 12 boys who had spent the last three - six years growing up together.
TO THE BOYSâŚ
The coaches are incredibly proud of you.
We are proud of the baseball players you became, but even more proud of the people you are becoming.
Baseball was never just about wins, losses, hits or home runs. It was about learning how to be a teammate, how to handle adversity, how to work hard, how to pick each other up, and how to keep moving forward.
Your Little League chapter is now closed.
But your story is just beginning.
Go out there and do BIG things, boys.
Continue to work hard. Continue to be good teammates. Continue to be good people. And never forget where you came from or the people who helped you get here.
Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the laughs. Thank you for the battles. Thank you for the three incredible seasons.
Falls Athletics 12U â 2026.
A lifetime of memories.
Go out there and make us proud.
