Ambassadors

L.E.A.D. Ambassadors 

Ambassadors are high School L.E.A.D.ers from the fall Legacy League who demonstrate athletic prowess on the diamond, leadership amongst their peers and integrity and civic engagement in their communities. The elite of L.E.A.D., the Ambassadors represent L.E.A.D. and the city of Atlanta in summer college exposure tournaments and in community service/civic engagement experiences in the metro Atlanta area. 

The summer tournaments in Marietta, Georgia expose Ambassadors to over 500 scouts each summer. If a player is not competing and showcasing his talent in the summer, he is not on the recruiting radar. In order to compete and showcase at optimum levels, players must develop year round. This is why the Legacy League is a prerequisite for the Ambassador Program.  (November – July)
