New Travel Team Offers Financial Aid

The Cherokee Cats will help those who can't afford the traditional costs of a travel team.

The Now, local kids will have additional financial aid if they want to play for the CATS.

The CATS will be a 9u or 10u travel baseball team that requires parents to pay what the typical recreational program costs. The parents of players must have a financial need for support to be eligible for the team, according to a press release.

Coaches Jim Thomas and Darrell Campbell, both of Hickory Flat, have a sincere desire to help young athletes in Cherokee County that have the desire to further develop their baseball skills to hopefully play at a higher level, the release said.
