School is finally out, and that means that local kids of all ages across Atlanta are participating in sports and summer programs. One sport in particular that is popular during summer, is baseball. For the first time in the history of the United States, there is going to be a national girl’s baseball tournament. Baseball – not softball.

The girl’s baseball tournament is being held by Baseball for All and will feature about a dozen teams from across the nation, one of which Atlanta movers are proud to say is from Metro Atlanta.

Eleven girls from the Atlanta area, between the ages of 10 and 13, formed the team known as the Georgia Peaches just a short two months ago. Many of the girls on the team formerly played t-ball, but most young girls typically move to playing softball around the age of 13, in order to play in national tournaments; since until now, that was the only option.

“Baseball is fun, more fun than softball. I am really excited to play on a team with all girls,” said 11-year-old Emma Tucker.

“I know girls can play baseball, and do anything just as good as boys,” said 10-year-old Gabi Yulo. “I think being on this team shows everyone what girls can do.”

If you are moving to Atlanta and you have a daughter who loves baseball, local Atlanta moving companies encourage new residents to get involved in the local girl’s baseball teams, so that we can continue to have an all-girls team participate in the new national tournament. We also hope that families will continue to move into the area for the many sports’ opportunities in Metro Atlanta.
