Since its start as a 9U team, the Sage 2006 team has focused on developing smart players with solid softball skills who like the game and support each other. The coaches understand that softball is more than outs and runs: it's a team activity that should lead to improved relational thinking, strategic awareness, and personal confidence. We focus on relationships first, wins second, while observing that the latter often follows the former. Sage 2006 is competing at the 14U B level this season.
Coach Flannery has been coaching AGSA house, all-star or Sage 2006 softball since 2012. While she does not like to lose, she cares more about the kids as people than players. Her expectations are high. Her practices are a little bit fun.
Coach West is a defensive mastermind who promotes a smart, confident approach to the ball. Something he says often: Breathe out. Something he does often: Make the girls laugh.
Coach Giambalvo does everything! A former football player, he preaches focus, hard work, and constant improvement. But what he likes best about this team is that they like each other, support each other, and enjoy being together.
