Come see what East Side Elite is all about—we'd love to meet you!

Life hack: Find friends and family who are willing to give 100% and have this much fun on a random Tuesday night. ❤️

We are thrilled to report that the East Side Elite parents remain undefeated in the 3rd annual East Side Elite Parents vs. Kids End-of-Season Whiffle Ball Showdown!

The kids came prepared:
⚾ Coordinated uniforms? ✅
🎵 Custom walk-up playlists? ✅
🧟 A Halloween zombie-destroyer bat courtesy of Coach Brian? ✅

Unfortunately... the only thing that got destroyed Tuesday night was the poor whiffle ball. 😅

(See you next year, kids... maybe 12U will finally your year... 😉)

💙🥎 That's a wrap on the 11U season! 💙🥎

This weekend was the perfect reminder of just how much this team has grown. They fight so hard for each other and have grown so much as ballplayers, teammates, competitors, and friends. This group is something special - families included :) - and has been an absolute joy to cheer for and hang with all season.

We love you, Elite! Next stop: 12U!✨

Wishing the best of luck to Elite as they head to Granger for the Backyard Bash—their final tournament of an awesome 11U season!

After spending the past few weeks proudly representing East Side on the Babe Ruth All-Stars Tournament Trail, these queens are back together (in their🎵 Blue and White Pinstriiiiiipes🎵) and ready to finish their 11U Elite season with a bang.

💙🥎 Go get 'em, ladies!
