Wheeler Baseball

Running a baseball program in Cobb County, GA requires a investment of time, money and resources. WHS/Cobb County provides the following to the baseball program: mowing grass, light bulb replacement, minor repairs to building structures, coach and player transportation for some of the away games and paying for umpires.  The baseball program is left to fund all other needs – the 2024-2025 budget is approximately $50,000 for the baseball program. 

The baseball program must work each year to raise money to cover the following:

• Field improvements and maintenance including the tractor and storage facilities
• Improvements to facility the including dugouts, cages, scoreboard, and game viewing areas
• Landscaping and Painting
• Player and Coach Uniforms
• Community Coach Stipends
• Pre and Post Season Banquets
• Team Building Activities

For 2025, we have several avenues for Donations to the Wheeler Baseball Program:

In addition the annual expenses budget, we have a capital budget goal of $100,000 for bleacher seating and new dugouts. Businesses that are interested in larger financial donations should contact Ricky Welkis (Booster Club President).  Your consideration is greatly appreciated.
