Is it really free to play for Flush Baseball?

Simply put, yes.

There are no fees for tryouts, practices, indoor-training space, paid coaches, assistant coaches, trainers, uniforms, or tournament registrations. Your player pays with their commitment

to the team, and you just pay your gate- fees to watch your kiddo play.

Since it's free, it must be a lower level of training, right?

No, that is not right. In fact, it's quite the opposite of that. Playing for Flush Baseball is free because it's associated with the marketing aspects of a business. For this same reason, everything is required to be the highest level of quality.

This includes the training, coaching staff, facilities, uniforms, and gear. There are no expenses spared in giving these young men the best possible chance to succeed.

How is it possible to be free and at the highest level?

Flush Baseball Club is sponsored by Royal

Flush Plumbing. Royal Flush Plumbing is one of the largest service companies in the state of Georgia, and they are on a mission to create a repeatable business model that uses marketing exposure created and captured through travel sports

to mitigate the costs incurred by parents. This will make the sport much more affordable to the families of players, and allow children of any means to be able to play at the highest level. Parents are

already giving so much of their time to get their players to practices and events, they

shouldn't have to empty their wallets as well.

Who runs the organization?

The organization is run by former MLB pitcher, Joey Hamilton along with members of the Royal Flush community outreach team, including the exceptionally professional and amiable ladies, Jessica Ly and Lauriette Johnson.

What makes Coach Hamilton a good person to run the organization?

Coach Hamilton has lived every aspect of

the process. From the beginning of his baseball

playing years, as a young child, to playing

travel ball for many years, to being

recruited to college on a full scholarship, to being a top 10 MLB draft pick out of

college, to working his way through a major league farm system, to being a

starting pitcher in the MLB, to pitching in a World Series game. There are no parts of

the process that Joey hasn't personally

experienced. Combine that playing experience with his nearly 20 years as a high-level travel ball coach in his 30s and 40s, along with his selfless desire to make the world a better place through baseball, and you will understand why he is the

perfect person to run this revolutionary program.

Where do the teams practice?

This year the teams will primarily practice

out of Gwinnett County, although a few teams will be located in adjacent counties.

For the Gwinnett teams, they will practice outdoors in Lilburn, and indoors at our own private facility in Snellville.

What is the indoor facility like?

The indoor facility is in a 10,000-square-foot building, with approximately 6,500

square feet of convertible-use turf space. It has retractable batting cages with automatic pitching machines, as well as retractable pitching lanes with portable mounds. It also has FungoMan fielding machines and a plethora of training equipment to hone both athleticism and skill. The facility is primarily used by one

a full team at a time, where a good practice plan can utilize the space in such a way

that offense, defense, and pitching may all

be covered in a 2-hour span.

Other than baseball training, why should I choose Flush Baseball for my son?

The Flush staff loves teaching these young men how to play the game of baseball the right way. There are a litany of amazing skills and life lessons that are developed

from playing and being a part of a team.

With that said, it's not actually the primary purpose of the Flush organization, though.

The organization is more concerned with teaching young men the traits that will make them highly employable and sought

after by businesses one day. They believe this is more crucial to both the players

future success, and the overall success of their generation in the workplace, than

anything else. In addition, Flush takes pride in teaching servant leadership anddeveloping a charitable desire within the hearts of these young men. All Flush teams will participate in quarterly charitable events aimed at giving the boys a glimpse of the satisfaction and joy that comes from helping others in need.

If my son makes the team, is there a way for me to get involved?

Yes, absolutely. Successful travel teams require a prodigious amount of folks helping on various levels. There are lots of jobs that the teams will need help with, you only need to notify the head coach that you are interested and a duty will be

assigned to you.

What level does the organization play at?

Coach Hamilton will decide what level each team plays at based on their overall

talent and ability. Decisions will be made

solely with the intention of what's best for

the player's development, not for wins and

losses. Most teams will be starting out at the AA/AAA level and will adjust from

there.

What's the length of the season?

The Flush season runs essentially from September to June. An average schedule

for one of the teams would be as follows: Practicing twice a week from September

to November, with a few fall tournaments sprinkled in during this time. That would be followed by indoor training from December-February, and then a full tournament schedule going twice a month from March-June, while still practicing twice a week.

Are private lessons included in the sponsorship?

Yes, there will be some level of free, private lessons offered for all players.

The Flush staff will also make recommendations for additional, paid private lessons if the

parent is interested, but this will not be mandated.

Are private lessons required?

Private lessons are strongly recommended, but not required. There is, however, a requirement of providing proof that your player is working from home if he is not in weekly private lessons. The current method is to post pictures or videos of your player working, weekly, on the group chat.

Is player equipment provided by the sponsorship?

For the most part, no it is not. Your player

will need to provide their own glove, bats,

catcher gear, etc. With that said, there are options available for players that cannot

afford quality gear. There will also be periodic competitions put on by the sponsor where the players can win free gear, but this should be seen as "extra" and not depended upon.

Who coaches each team?

Each team will have its own coaching staff, hand selected by Coach Hamilton. Only personable, kind-hearted, and high-integrity individuals will be chosen to represent the Flush brand. Furthermore, all teams will adhere to strict guidelines and regulations concerning all aspects of training, practices, and games.

What kind of people should be interested in Flush Baseball for their son?

Anyone who wants their son to be held to

very high standards, both on and off the field, should be interested in Flush

Baseball. Teaching character,

commitment, and "team-first", is the main priority of Flush.
