Berkeley Albany Little League is proud to celebrate one of our own.

Leah Freeman, a BALL alumna who once took the field during our 2010 Parade Day, has officially made her professional soccer debut, marking an incredible milestone in her athletic journey.

Leah’s path is a powerful example of dedication and perseverance:

• Started right here at BALL
• Developed through youth and high school athletics
• Competed at the Division I level at Oregon and Duke
• Now competing professionally as a goalkeeper

After patiently earning her opportunity, Leah is already making a strong impact at the professional level:

• Appeared in multiple professional matches
• Off to an impressive 4–0 start
• Recorded 2 shutouts
• Continues to step up in every appearance

Leah’s journey is also deeply rooted in the BALL community. Her father, Coach and former Board Member Dale Freeman, has contributed years of leadership, mentorship, and support to our league — helping shape not just players, but people.

From Parade Day memories to the professional stage, Leah’s story reminds us what Little League is all about:

Building confidence, character, and a lifelong love of sports.

We are incredibly proud to call Leah a BALL alumna and can’t wait to see what’s next.

Congratulations to Leah and the entire Freeman family!

Berkeley Albany Little League would like to take a moment to honor the life and legacy of Imaayu Akili Hancock, a former coach and valued member of our community.

Imaayu coached in both the Juniors and Seniors divisions in the mid-2000s, dedicating his time to supporting and developing young players. He wasn’t just a coach—he was a mentor, a steady presence, and someone who truly connected with the kids he worked with.

Some of our current board members still remember Imaayu coaching their sons on the diamond. He brought patience, encouragement, and a genuine love for the game and for the players.

He was, simply put, a true kids’ coach.

His impact lives on through the players he mentored, the families he supported, and the community he helped shape.

We are grateful for his contributions to Berkeley Albany Little League and extend our thoughts to his family and loved ones.

💚 Play BALL, Imaayu.
