Anyone know of a 12 year old travel baseball team that is still looking for players for their 2009 roster? We live in Paulding and are trying to find a local team. Thanks in advance for your help!

check out nwgabaseball.org There are a few listed on there, I'm not sure how local they will be, but that's an option.

There are only a few travel baseball teams in this area, there are more in Cobb but most are probably filled up by now. I hate travel, rec ball its all political its more like daddy ball, all the daddy coaches sons are in the key positions. I feel sorry for them when they get to high school and cant take their daddys with them.

I am sure every team/area is different but I disagree with this - my son play travel ball starting from 8 years old. Yes the coach's had sons on the team but they held every player accountable and would sit their own kid if/when needed. My son was very lucky to have played all 4 years with the same team and as they entered high school at Hiram, all of them made the High School team except one that couldnt keep his grades up.

After entering HS baseball - that's when it became very apparent that the coaching my son received in travel ball was far superior to that of their HS Coaches. The coach's son did very well in HS as did my son and both of them received many awards in their 4 years of HS play.


Check out Powder Springs also - some really good coaches there as well as teams.

Thanks everyone for your input. My son has been on the same team for 3 years and it is time for a change. I think you have issues in rec and travel but as far as coaching, travel ball gave my son a better opportunity. We left the team "our family" because the head coach decided he wanted more talent. The sad thing is that we had a great team and now the team will probably fall apart. What kills me is that my son had the 4th highest batting average, an average "on base percentage" and never missed a game or practice. Yet the coaches couldn't give us one reason why my son wasn't going to be picked on the team. Oh well, it was a blessing that we have left. Now we just have to find somewhere else to go because my son wants to keep playing.

Most of the teams I know of are already set. I PM'd you a name and number to contact at Powder Springs to see if you can set up a tryout.

I have a 12yr. old travel team. 2009 will be our third year. We are currently looking for players. All of the coaches are involved with football, but we could work something out to make time for a few tryouts. We were planning on doing try-outs after football. Our team name is the Paulding Co. Panthers. We currently play out of New Ga. Park. We are planning to go to Cooperstown next year. If you are interested you can PM me with your contact information.
