It's almost here: The launch of America's 1st fall instructional league focusing on developing inner city talent for college play. The ceremony is historical for L.E.A.D. and the city of Atlanta. The Legacy League program not only provides a proven system for development, exposure and a formal pipeline to college baseball, but also an atmosphere of academic and civic accountability. In addition to maintaining at least a "C" average during the fall, Legacy League players will have to participate in L.E.A.D. sponsored service projects and enrichment activities. At the end of the Legacy League season, players who have excelled on the diamond, in the classroom and in the community will be considered for L.E.A.D.'s summer exposure team, The Ambassadors. In 2008, 85% of L.E.A.D.'s Ambassadors received college baseball scholarship opportunities. In 2009, Ambassador Khirus Ware represented L.E.A.D. in the East Coast Professional Showcase. The training, development and exposure these young men received through L.E.A.D. in addition to their committment to academics and L.E.A.D. sponsored service activities have provided them with access to a college education, most times with little or no cost to their families.
 

Representatives from Major League Baseball's Baseball Tomorrow Fund, The Majestic Realty Foundation, The Atlanta Braves, the City of Atlanta Recreation and Cultural Affaris Department and Washington High School will be on hand to celebrate this historical event.
