WELCOME TO THE ELKMONT BASEBALL BLOG

Baseball/softball season starts this week in the state of Alabama.  To help you keep up with the fast changing world of Elkmont gloves and bats (very unpredictable due to weather), the Elkmont Baseball Blog is part of  the family of blogs dedicated to all things Elkmont.   Of course, the high school and middle school teams are the heart of the blog but it has a special place to highlight our youth leagues as well.  
If you are a parent or coach of a youth league team, please send in pictures, articles, announcements or schedules dealing with your team.  We love our young Red Devils or Lady Red Devils too.  Please submit information to the blog at elkmont1@charter.net or facebook message Hill Spirit.
