That's a wrap on the 2026 season. We went 2-3-1 this weekend.
I will be switching from Diamonds to RMT, but I am truly grateful for the experience I've had with this team the past 2 years. I wish nothing but the best.❤️🤍💙

First high school game off to a great start! Beat Eaglecrest 8-5 going 2/2 at the plate and a 1.000 FPCT. Cant wait to get back at it again tonight against Valor Christian.

Truly tragic. I cannot stop thinking about Charlie all week. She deserved so much better.

The amount of support the Colorado Softball community has given her during this time is unmatched.

We love you Charlie 💚

🚨 SHOWCASE TOURNAMENT CHECKLIST 🚨

What Should You Be Doing at Colorado Sparkler?

Thousands of athletes will be on the field.

The athletes who stand out aren’t always the ones with the best stats—they’re the ones who treat recruiting like part of the competition.

✅ Before You Arrive

📧 Email your schedule to coaches.
🎯 Know your target schools.
🎥 Make sure your recruiting profile and video are updated.

✅ At the Fields

⚡ Hustle on and off the field.
👏 Be a great teammate.
💪 Control your body language.
🥤 Hydrate, eat, and recover between games.

✅ Between Games

📱 Check for coach emails.
📍 Send schedule updates if fields change.
👀 Watch college teams and learn.

✅ If a Coach is Watching

🤝 Introduce yourself after the game (when appropriate).

✅ After the Tournament

📧 Send follow-up emails within 24–48 hours.
🎥 Share updated video and tournament highlights.

🛑 Remember This:

Recruiting isn’t won in one at-bat.

It’s won by consistently showing coaches:

Your ability
Your work ethic
Your character
Your professionalism

Every game is an opportunity. Every interaction matters.

Finished in SD! Sparkler 🔜

We went 1-3 this weekend, but got eliminated our first bracket game. Neither team scored until our opponents walked it off in extras. It was a great game, I have never been prouder of these girls. Go Diamonds!

Coach: “We’d love to offer you”

Recruit: “Thanks coach, that means a lot!”

Then the recruit hangs up and tells the whole family he got an offer.

Weeks later he tries to commit.

And the coach says the spot is gone.

Or that it was never a committable offer in the first place.

Now he is confused, hurt, and behind.

Here is what nobody told him.

You need to ask these 3 questions when you get an offer:

First: “Is this a committable offer?”

If the answer is no, you have interest, not an offer.

Good to know now instead of after you turn down other schools.

Second: “How long is the offer on the table?”

Offers have expiration dates.

Most recruits never find out until the spot is filled.

Third: “What are the next steps from here?”

This tells you if the coach is actually moving you forward or just keeping you warm.

Three questions.

And you go from guessing to knowing.

Do not let one excited moment cost you the truth about where you stand.

Made it to Rapid City! Got some swings in at the Airbnb before the games tomorrow. I'm trying out a new stance, so we'll see how it goes this weekend!

I feel as if baserunning is one of the strongest aspects of my performance on the field. It's more than just running the bases, it's about strategy and always paying attention to the game.

Quick highlight reel of my fielding at shortstop/pitcher from this past weekend's tournament. 5 TC with a 1.000 FPCT, and 2 close plays at pitcher with some help from my teammates.

This is a very mature perspective on the recruiting process. Well said, Ava! 🧡💪🥎

Some tags I applied while pitching and playing shortstop this past weekend.

One of my favorite things to do in this sport is dive. I haven't gotten any until this weekend (one pitching, one at shortstop). I wasn't able to get the out on the one at shortstop, but I still feel very proud of my execution.

Had some close defensive plays at Shortstop this weekend. Still feeling very proud of myself.

I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to guest play in the TCC Colorado Sparker for RSA Fastpitch located in Lees Summit, MO. I'm looking forward to getting the exposure I need from the days of June 29th - July 5th.
