Flatground Sports, based in Waxhaw, remains active in regional baseball and softball development as the broader North Carolina softball landscape reaches new milestones. The Charleston Cougars won the 2026 Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) softball tournament held at Elon University’s Hunt Softball Park from May 6 to May 9, securing their first conference title and an automatic berth in the NCAA Division I softball tournament ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Coastal_Athletic_Association_softball_tournament?utm_source=openai)). While Flatground Sports did not figure directly in this competition, the club’s presence in Waxhaw positions it well to support athletes aiming to reach collegiate levels amid North Carolina’s rising softball profile.
