I've seen a lot of new feeder teams starting up, do they have full rosters yet? In concept, they are a great idea but you have some limitation in the geography in which you can recruit players. What this means is that you can only recruit players who live in the school district the team is based out of, correct me if I'm wrong though.
I know the Creekview program has been around for a while but how are the Sprayberry Jr. Jackets, Woodstock Wolverines, Sequoyah Jr. Chiefs & River Ridge teams coming along? |

| Uphill road with feeder teams, most have been AA types because of the small geographical draw they have to choose from. One feeder team that wasn't mentioned is Walker, the private school in Marietta. |

There's an entire league of 100+ travel ball feeder teams in Gwinnett County called GGBL. Nearly all of these programs are very large clusters feeding into AAAAA High Schools. Some have 5 Elementary schools with enrollments of over 1,000/ea.. Most of the top teams at each age group are AAA, and an occasional Major team pops up. Each program has rules in place where their teams can accept some players from outside the cluster, but its usually limited to 2 players.
Shiloh is a GGBL cluster team this age group is most familiar with. North Gwinnett also had a strong 10U GGBL cluster team this past season. The strength of cluster teams is largely dependent upon the size of the cluster. If you are playing a cluster team from a AAAAA cluster, and they throw their #1 pitcher, bring your "A" game. |
