overview
Premier level teams play a national level schedule against some of the best teams in the county. The schedule of each team is rigorous, as is the training, with the end goal to prepare each athlete to play collegiately at as high a level as they are possibly capable. Once a player commits to a university, the NC Challengers program expects them to continue to develop and to help provide guidance to opportunities to younger players on our national level teams. Ultimately, the 18U Premier team features primarily committed athletes that are continuing to develop their skills in competitive national-level events as they near the end of their travel ball careers.
