1st class organization. Eddie Waters is the owner and takes ownership. He's involved in the entire process, no matter which team. The facilities are first class, and the coaches care about the kids and the families. Georgia Stars are a definite recommendation for parents looking for their kids to develop.

My two boys play for the Stars and I have been very happy with their development. They are a competitive team but the coaches keep things on perspective. I was nervous about travel ball but I think we made a good choice. Plus, I love that the fees are tax deductible!

We have had a great experience since starting with the Georgia Stars. All of the coaches we have worked with are knowledgeable and push the players to the best of their ability -- doing so respectfully. Since starting with the stars, my son has gained knowledge, strength, and has noticeably improved his game. Coming from previous organizations, I wish we would have found the stars much sooner.

This is my sons sixth season with the GeorgiaStars now. This season one is on the 16U team and the other is on the 14U team. My older son also played at the high school level because of the level of training and knowledge he gained with Georgia Stars.Georgia Stars continues to add coaches with playing experience at Pro and college level to build players skills at all levels of the game. I thank Georgia Stars Baseball Academy for the training that has taken my sons to the next level and look forward to their continued growth with the Georgia Stars Baseball Academy.

My son is on the 9U travel team and by far this is the best organization due to the following reasons:1) Most disciplined coaches, organization and culture2) Coach Waters is very involved with each age group and focuses on nothing but the best to be developed in each and every athlete3) Very nice facility, fully equipped for the athletes and comfortable for the kids4) Each coach on our 9u team is fully involved in kids development and maintains high level of integrity and respect. Georgia Stars will teach your kid to be well behaved, teach the right thing to do and teach some real good baseball. Very happy to be part of this organization.

We have had a very good experience with the coaches and families associated with the Georgia Stars. My son plays with the 11U teams and also takes batting lessons at the facility. The staff is skilled and knowledgeable in baseball. They push my son to be his best, without tearing him down. My son's confidence and talent level have improved in his time with Georgia Stars; and he loves going to practice. I would definitely recommend the Georgia Stars Baseball Academy.

My son had the privilege of joining the Georgia Stars family in 2018. We both realized this was the place for him after the first practice. No more travel ball drama and lack of leadership. Coach Waters and his staff focus on creating an environment where young men grow as baseball players and individuals. I saw dramatic changes in discipline, desire and dedication during his time with the Georgia Stars. Finally, both coaches and players shared with my son during his high school tryout, how much he had improved as a baseball player.If you want no drama, strong leadership, structure, and a disciplined program where your son can build baseball skills and knowledge. The Georgia Stars Baseball Academy is for your family.

I couldn't be more impressed with Georgia Stars Baseball Academy. Coach Waters has been training my 8 yr old son for a few months now, and I have been completely blown away. Coach Waters manages a top of line program and facility. More importantly, he embodies the morales, values, and work ethic that my son, AND we as parents need. Coach maintains a high level of expectations and accountability for his players/students. Through Coach Waters' knowledge, passion, and style, it took no time for us to realize that we made the best decision for our child.

Our first year with GA Stars and I must say we came to the right place. Our son's mechanics and knowledge of baseball has soared as demonstrated by his ability to play several positions. Coach Waters expects the best from each player and strives to see each athlete's unique gifts and talents. Our son is excited about the game. His confidence built through GA Stars shows both on and off the field. Looking forward to another year!

The learning experience with Georgia Stars Baseball has been the best at we have had in my grandson's 10 years of playing the game. The instruction and coaching has been superb! Their honesty with him has made him a much better player. Each facet of the game is dissected and taught well. We are very happy with our move to the Georgia Stars. Thank you!

Georgia stars Baseball Academy has the best baseball program that I have found. My 10yr old has grown so much in this sport since he 1st started. Coach Waters and the other coaches pushes him to be the best that they know he can be. It's not only about baseball, but academics, respect, and making sure the boy's will be respectable young men. I know this is the best place for my child as an athlete and young man. Thank you to all the staff at Georgia Stars Baseball Academy!!!

Coach Waters is demanding, holds players accountable, teaches the game to next level, emphasizes fundamentals that will set you apart from peers. Honest to all individuals and their own talents. For those of use who want to play past HS this is the type of program that will make college an easier transition. Other opportunities exist to play with any travel club in the state but GA Stars is chosen due to the above. If want greatness than a price has to be paid and Coach Waters will help you if you allow him.

Coach Waters and the other coaches give my13 year old son exactly the coaching he needs. He needed more than just a team and a place to play. Georgia Stars baseball is more academic college style baseball. The coach jokes with the boys but he is also no nonsense and expects the boys to show up and do their best. The kids are taught the history and techniques of baseball and are responsible for their own performance and are taught how to improve their game. The indoor facility is awesome and my soncertainly gets a workout! The coaches are seriously dedicated and I know this Academy is helping my son grow into a more mature man.

WHAT OUR GRADUATES SAY

My name is Jascanel Ferreras and I am a proud former Georgia Stars Academy Baseball player. The program of Georgia Stars Academy has developed me into not only the player but the person I am today. The program taught me to strive for success through a hard work ethic, determination, and adaptability under any circumstances . I was apart of the Georgia Stars organization at the age 15 until 18 and still today at 23 years old I carry that same chip on my shoulder and that the program embedded in me. Coaches and staff are well experienced and have developed a goal as a whole that will help an individual become who they desire to be in baseball, but most importantly in life.
The organization Cultivated a high intensity workout whether it was a weight, baseball/softball session, individual session, or team session that evaluated and recruited players to collaborate with training specialist to discuss which program each athlete was best equipped for.
Georgia Stars Academy not only will show an individual the path of success but will walk right beside one to maintain the focus along the way.

Jascanel Ferreras, Ga Stars, Baseball Academy

Georgia Stars baseball was a great experience for me as a young player learning the game. Coach Waters and the staff did a great job of encouraging me while still being fair and honest about my strengths and weaknesses. I will always be grateful to the Georgia Stars baseball program. 

Kyle Lewis, Ga Stars, Baseball Academy

The Georgia Stars played a big role in not only helping me improve my game, but build character traits I still use today. Coach Waters and his staff have the knowledge and resources to help improve all aspects of your game. With their state of the art batting facilities, strength and conditioning coaches, and gym equipment, throughout high school, college, and into my professional career Georgia Stars Academy helped me get stronger and ready for the next season. I also took the opportunity to come back and help give instruction to all ages along with coach a couple of the teams. Georgia Stars Academy is where you want to be in order to take your game to the next level.

Cletis Avery

Within my experience with playing with the Georgia Stars Baseball Academy along with Coach Waters I had a remarkable experience. For me and my journey this program not only helped me with my baseball career but also becoming a man. Coach Waters would do everything out of “tough love”. This meaning he emphasized to me which he would make me responsible and accountable for my own actions at a very young age. This not only shaped me on the field but also off the field. Many would see this type of accountability for a young kid as it being too much for them to handle. However, Coach Waters made sure I had a great platform to start from and grow from each and every day so that it could be with me in my future development. Being with this baseball academy since I was young has allowed me to become a young man at such an early age because of responsibilities that not your regular or typical kid would have. I see this way of going with life as very important for kids so that when they get older responsibilities will be much easier for them because it is a part of them. I thank Coach Waters for everything he has done to help me with my baseball career allowing me to get to where I am now and even further because the sky is the limit. Once you have in your mind your dreams the next thing is to make it a reality and believe in it. Also, you must get out of your head about the idea that there is only one path to make it to be a baseball player professionally. If that is your dream it is just like a baseball game you are going to get curve balls and sliders that buckle you, but it is your job to take a breath and get yourself right.

Sterling Smith

The Georgia Stars Baseball Academy has done unbelievable things for my Family and I. This program has taught me not only to become a better baseball player, but also a better man. Coach Waters demands nothing but the best. That is why he pushes so many kids and young men past their potential. He is a great coach and great mentor. That allows young men such as myself to continue to give back to the program by coaching and training the next group of young men that Coach Waters wants us to help prepare for baseball and life.

Kameron Armstrong

Georgia Stars Baseball Academy became a heavy influence in my life at the age of 14. After working out with Coach Waters a few times prior to making the switch to play for him, I knew he had my best interest at heart and would give me the proper guidance to reach my goals. The more time I spent in the program, the more it molded me to become a responsible, discipline man. From instilling a coachable mindset, checking for proper workout attire, and tracking who was on time, I knew that these actions would transfer not only on the field, but also to the classroom and everyday life. I remember the ups and downs of my Georgia Stars journey and the lessons that it taught me moving forward. I remember the different teammates that I had over the years and how it trained me to work with different personalities to reach a common goal. More than anything, I remember how it felt to receive a Division I scholarship out of high school to play baseball at the next level and help my family financially while setting a good example for my brother, cousins, and peers. Ultimately, I’m very grateful to have had the type of journey I did with Coach Waters and the Georgia Stars Baseball Academy. I believe that no matter what my future entails at this point in my life, I will be more than prepared to excel.

Hunter Phillips, Class of 2014

Georgia Stars Baseball Academy kept me in good physical shape, and help motivated to earn better grades in high school to received an academic scholarship to play Division I baseball. Georgia Stars baseball allowed me to travel and play baseball games at various college schools to showcase my baseball skills. Without the Georgia Stars Baseball Academy I would’ve never had played college baseball, and or received a free education without the academy. Coach Waters instilled core values that taught me to be responsible for my actions, Time Management, Discipline, and Confidence. While playing travel baseball for the Georgia Stars, I met good friends and mentors along the way to help mold me to the man that I am today. Georgia Stars definitely helped prepared me to be a productive citizen. SHOUT OUT TO THE ACADEMY, GO STARS!
