Garner Baseball offers an additional program, GBI Express, to the youth baseball-playing community for the highly motivated and competitive player. Teams are fielded based on age group interest and team rosters are determined by tryouts. Participation on a Garner Express team requires a high level of commitment from both the participant and their parents.  Garner Express teams participate in tournaments sanctioned by Top Gun, USSSA, Perfect Game, and others throughout North Carolina and beyond.  The teams are self-funded and may recruit sponsorship. 

You can see the complete rules for our Express teams here.
