Question: Club ball is so expensive!! How can my family afford to let me play?

Answer: Club ball is cheaper than annual college tuition! It is worth the investment and effort it takes to find the money to support player in their dreams of becoming better players and collegiate scholarship recipients. It is an investment in time and money. Most importantly, it is an investment in the player’s and family’s future and will teach life skills and experiences that you can never place a price tag on!! You can afford it because players can’t afford the high cost of college tuition, student loans, and student-work-study and part-time jobs, and study-time-sacrifices of trying to pay for college without assistance through athletic or academic scholarships! College Tuition $35,000/annually – Boom Opportunity for Scholarship – Priceless!!

Answer: We are here to develop our players to their full potential. Our players are trained in multiple roles and multiple positions. We are here to help our players enjoy the sport, compete well, and have fun. Our mission is to help our players develop into bold, confident, and viable young ladies. We have a reputation for good sportsmanship and are pioneering the game in so many ways. We are one of the oldest programs in Metro Atlanta with a higher level of local, regional and national know-how and experience than the many 1-, 2-, or 5-year programs that are still figuring things out. We CARE about our kids and everyone that knows US, knows THAT…from opposing clubs to college coaches to the families that we serve!! We teach in a loving, nurturing, goal-oriented way that allows the skills of our players to grow at a faster pace and result in higher confidence on and off the court! Our club is the best choice and there are many clubs who respect us when we face then in competition or go all-out to support them when we compete in the same arena away from home.
