Welcome to the Central Carolina Scholatic Summer Baseball League website. The league was established in 2006 with 22 teams spread out around the greater Raleigh area. In 2007, the league grew to 36 teams that will competing in six divisions.  In 2008, 42 teams will compete in the CCSSL.
    In the inagural year of our league there were many exciting events that happened. Each team had the opportunity to go to North Carolina State University for a day long camp with the Wolfpack Staff. Later that night each team got to play at Doak Field, home of the Wolfpack. All schools represented had the chance to have players attend two different showcase weekends. There was a great week of playoffs at the end of the year that determine Fuquay-Varina to be the CCSSL Champion.
      In 2007 the league expanded to include 14 more teams than in it's first year. There were team camps hosted at two sites, NCSU and East Carolina. There was a large showcase tryout on June 30 at Middle Creek High School that had 9 college coaches and 2 pro scouts in attendance.  The showcase at Triton HS was held on July 21. The season will wrapped up with a twelve team tournament during the last week in July.  Fuquay-Varina won their second consecutive CCSSL championship.    

     The Central Carolina Scholastic Summer League is proud to announce the recipients of its 2009 scholarship awards. Five players, each of whom is a 2009 high school graduate who has played in the league, will receive $1,000 apiece to continue their education.

     Landon Talley of Knightdale High School earned the league’s highest distinction, receiving the Matt Winters Memorial Scholarship named for the former Granville Central High School shortstop who died in a swimming accident in May.  The CCSSL’s other four scholarship winners are Jacob Coggins of Western Harnett High School, Joey Grady of Pinecrest High School, Jeremy McLeod of Southern Lee High School and Cam Richards of Knightdale High School.

     Scholarship winners received recommendations from their coaches and school administrators, and they wrote essays about how playing in the CCSSL impacted their overall personal development. The CCSSL Board of Directors chose the winners, basing its selections on the character and academic achievements of the student-athletes as well as their accomplishments in baseball.
