Established Gulf Coast baseball program joins USA Prime’s national network of more than 1,000 travel teams, expanding opportunities for players and families.

RIDGELAND, MS, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — USA Prime today announced that SBG Sox has joined the USA Prime network and will operate as USA Prime SBG, expanding its regional footprint across Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas (excluding Northwest Arkansas), Mobile, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

With an established presence in Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, SBG Sox has built a strong reputation for player development, competitive success and preparing athletes for opportunities at the next level. The partnership with USA Prime marks a significant step forward for the organization, providing a platform for continued growth and expansion into additional markets throughout the Southeast.

As USA Prime SBG, the program’s existing leadership and coaching staff will continue overseeing local operations while gaining the resources, reach and support of USA Prime’s national organization. The partnership will allow USA Prime SBG to strengthen its existing programs while developing new teams and opportunities across its expanded territory.

Players, families and coaches will gain access to USA Prime’s national events, recruiting resources, organizational support and established partnerships, including adidas, BSN Sports, TeamInn and Luccini.

“SBG has always been about more than baseball,” said Chris Snopek, Founder of SBG Sox. “We believe God gives every one of these kids their gifts for a reason, and our job is to help them grow as players and as young men of faith and character. When we sat down with USA Prime, we found people who share that purpose. We’re grateful for this partnership and excited about what it opens up for our families.”

“The strongest partnerships start with shared values,” said Brandon Shangraw, CEO of USA Prime. “Chris and the SBG team have built a program on faith, character, player development and doing things the right way for families. That’s exactly the kind of organization we want representing USA Prime. We’re excited to provide them with the resources, relationships and national platform to build on what they’ve already established throughout the region.”

Teams will begin competing under the USA Prime SBG name starting during the Summer 2027 season, with plans to expand the organization’s presence and player development opportunities throughout its designated six-state territory.
