Attention Sharpsburg Youth Baseball!!!

Chevrolet is interested in casting one boy or girl from the Chevy Youth Baseball program to act as their Chevy Youth Baseball “Kid Reporter” for the Atlanta Braves’ 2018 season! The selected players will have the opportunity to try out their own interview skills at three or four various Chevrolet-sponsored events at Suntrust Park.

In addition to submitting a short video of your child telling us why they should be the kid reporter and what they love about the game and the Braves, please complete the nomination form, using this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JLR2FSG. For question #1, be sure to select Atlanta.

While the exact Kid Reporter schedule is not yet set in stone, please be mindful that this opportunity is available to only a select few, and ensure your schedule should allow full participation for three (3) to four (4) separate home-game activities spread throughout the season before you apply.
