After many years of being involved with Georgia Dizzy Dean Baseball, East Side Baseball of East Cobb is joining a new youth sports organization.
It’s called Braves County Baseball and Softball, and is open to boys and girls ages 5-12, starting in March 2024.
The sponsor is the Atlanta Braves, and the spring competitions will include league and all-star play at the local, state and national levels, leading to championship rounds in June.
In a message to member families on Thursday, East Side Baseball president Majd Saboura said that “joining the new Braves Country Baseball League is the right path forward for our program and children. We believe that this league will provide all of East Side children and member organizations with a lot more opportunity and offer a lot more opportunity for our all star, hybrid and rec teams a chance to play competitive baseball and in our own backyard!”
East Side Baseball, based at Fullers Park, is one of 16 youth baseball/softball organizations that’s becoming part of the Braves County circuit in metro Atlanta.
Those include Oregon Park in West Cobb, Acworth Baseball and Powder Springs Youth Baseball.
The change doesn’t affect the fall season, which begins in September.
East Side Baseball, which formed in 1970, offers a variety of baseball options for youths ages 4-18.
