Braves Country Battles: Mississippi 

The Atlanta Braves will be bringing youth tournaments to each state in Braves Country, as a part of our Growing the Game initiative. The Braves Country Battles will be focused on creating a fun baseball experience in a friendly yet competitive atmosphere. The Battles will take place in each state within Braves Country and will culminate in Atlanta at the Braves Country Championships (formerly Braves Youth Baseball Classic) in July.

All proceeds from the Braves Country Battles will be reinvested in communities to help grow the game, including: free clinics, uniforms, equipment grants and donations, and field refurbishments. We look forward to seeing you at the Battle! Go Braves and Chop On!
