Fall 2017 Season Starting Now!

The Palmetto Ball Sharks are looking to finalize their fall rosters for all teams.  We finished a very successful season with multiple tournament championships and are looking to build on that success this spring.

We have a great group of kids and families and are looking to add some additional teams this Fall.  We have a competitive environment and our focus is on helping our players develop.  Experienced pitching is a plus, but not required.  Prior tournament experience not required.  We will play tournaments in the Columbia / Lexington area.

If you are interested in your child joining an experienced organization and trying out for a position on one of our teams, please fill out the Player Information Form, and we will contact you with tryout information or to schedule an evaluation.

Thank you.

Great start to the season.  The Ball Sharks played 3 back to back games Sunday, enroute to the Championship Game, but unfortunately came out a bit short.  They entered Sunday bracket play as the #2 seed, cruising through the first game with a 15-0 shutout, then winning the second game 11-7, before falling in the Championship game.  Although they didn’t win the championship, the boys played great, finishing 2nd out of 7 teams.  GREAT JOB!!
