⛺️ KLA ATHLETES GO CAMPING! 🥎💙❤️

The fall is a PRIME time to get on college campuses, attend camps, meet coaches, and experience what could be your future home! 🏫✨

This weekend, two more KLA athletes took advantage of the opportunity:

⛺️ Jazlene Brown — spent the night on campus and attended camp at College of Wooster!

⛺️ Jenna Smith — attended camp at Ohio Dominican University!

These experiences are about so much more than softball. They’re about learning, asking questions, meeting coaches, exploring campuses, and figuring out what YOU want in your college experience. 💪🏼

Way to represent KL Athletics and take ownership of your recruiting journey! 🔥

Fall ball + college camps = INVESTMENT in your future. 🎓🥎

10U Team Bonding + KLA Sis Energy 💙🥎

Nothing beats ice cream, a little friendly kickball, and a whole lot of dodgeball! 🍦😂

This group of girls is LOUD, competitive, and fierce — and we wouldn’t have it any other way! 🔥

They’re already building the kind of bond that goes way beyond the field. The friendships, confidence, and memories they’re creating now will help make this team something special both on and off the field. 💪🏼

We cannot WAIT to watch these girls take the field! 🥎❤️

10U — let’s get to work! 🔥

14 Open Team Building! 🥎💙

14 Open headed to Olde Towne Park in Uptown Westerville for a night full of volleyball, kickball, food, laughs, and smiles! ☀️🏐🥎

Our amazing families brought a potluck full of snacks and drinks, and the girls got to step away from the field, have some fun, and just enjoy being together. ❤️

It was the perfect way to build friendships, strengthen our team, and start to make some memories together!

🔥 KLA ATHLETICS NATIONAL ROSTER ANNOUNCEMENT 🔥

We’re continuing with #20 Ellie Crotty! 💙❤️🖤

Ellie is a catcher, shortstop, and outfielder from Big Walnut High School, bringing elite defensive ability and athleticism to the KLA Athletics National roster.

Ellie can teach a masterclass in defense. She is one of, if not the best, blocking catchers in our program, while also being a sure-handed shortstop with elite range both in the infield and outfield. 🔥🥎

Ellie earned Second Team All-OCC and Honorable Mention All-District honors, and was named the Defensive Player of the Year for her varsity team. 👏

But Ellie isn’t just a defensive standout. She brings elite speed on the bases and a consistent bat at the plate, giving KLA National another player who can impact the game in every phase. ⚡️

We’re excited to see Ellie continue to compete, develop, and make her mark at the national level!

Welcome to KLA Athletics National, Ellie!

Let’s get to work.
Train Better. Get Better. Play Better.

🥎 First team gathering = SUCCESS! 🥎

Before the practices, tournaments, wins, and all the softball memories ahead, we wanted to give these girls a chance to simply be kids and get to know each other. ❤️🩵

So, naturally, we brought out the kickball and dodgeballs! 😂🔥

There was plenty of running, laughing, a little friendly competition, and probably a few moments of “WAIT… WHOSE TEAM AM I ON?!” 🤣

It was so much fun watching the girls start to connect, learn each other’s personalities, and make some new friendships. This is just the beginning of what we hope will be an amazing season together!

New team. New friendships. Same love for the game. 🥎❤️🩵

Here’s to a season full of growth, memories, laughs, and LOTS of softball! Let’s go, girls! 💪🔥
