2026 PONY Directors Tournament Taylor Area Baseball & Softball

NAO has wrapped up another great season of youth baseball and softball, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank‑you to all our coaches, parents, and team reps for the time, energy, and heart you poured into making this season special for the kids.

As an all‑volunteer organization, NAO thrives because of people like you—and we especially want to recognize the NAO Baseball & Softball Board for the countless hours spent behind the scenes.

It truly takes a village to keep a program like this going, and thanks to everyone’s dedication, teamwork, and passion, it was an awesome season. THANK YOU!

Closing Ceremonies Next Week!

We want to make our NAO families aware of an unfortunate incident that occurred at our fields last week. Our 10U and 12U fields were vandalized when someone cut and stole electrical wiring from our lighting system, for the copper. This has left those fields temporarily without lights. We are currently working with our lighting company to restore service as quickly as possible. Authorities have been notified, and security camera footage is being reviewed in hopes of identifying those responsible.

As a nonprofit organization, situations like this have a real impact on our resources and our ability to serve our players and families. While this bump in the road may slow down the Optimists in our continued efforts of Bringing Out The Best in Kids we remain committed to our mission and our community and will not let any vandals deter us.

We kindly ask everyone in our baseball and softball community to stay alert and report any suspicious activity around our facilities. It takes all of us to help protect and support our league.

Thank you for your continued support of NAO and our young athletes.

NAO Ballpark is closed tonight and tomorrow, Saturday, May 2. Please spread the word.

What A Weekend! Shoutout to all the teams at the PAYBAS Pflugerville Area Youth Baseball And Softball tournament — y’all brought the heat.

But the NAO 8U Bulldogs? Different breed. They hustled. They battled. They WON 1st!

Proud is an understatement. Way to go NAO Bulldogs!

Here are a few photos of the weekend, and includes a few shots of our NAO 6U Golden Sluggers.
