The Southeastern Championship Series consist of tournaments around the southeast designed for high school eligible players. Each team will be comprised of no more than 50% graduated seniors.

Southeastern Championship Series will be divided into two conferences - East and West - with Birmingham being the dividing line. The Southeastern Championship Series will sanction four regional preliminary weekend tournaments for each conference. Two weekends West vs. West and East vs. East, two weekends West vs. East and East vs. West, culminating with a championship tournament at the end of the season.

The SCS will showcase these teams at colleges, universities, and historic minor league parks, ie., Rickwood Field and Engel Stadium, around the Southeast. Along with league play, the Championship Week will be as competitive as any World Series around, with newspaper and TV coverage and a SCS banquet, when an SCS All-Star team and MVP will be announced. Southeastern colleges will be kept apprised of SCS' happenings by e-mail. The 2005 Championship week is to be in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and will be played at Chattanooga State Community College, Cleveland State Community College, Engel Stadium, Lee University, and BellSouth Park, home of the AA Chattanooga Lookouts. On Wednesday, July20, 2005, a player showcase camp and home run derby will be held for college coaches and scouts. This day will culminate with a reception for players and parents with guest speaker being Butch Thompson, pitching coach for the University of Georgia. Also, special arrangements have been made for discounts to the Southern Bell Riverboat, rafting on the Ocoee River, and the Tennessee Aquarium.

The Southeastern Championship Series in it's inaugural 2003 season created a more competitive game by game situation. Each team was able to offer a more unique team and league concept to it's players. The legendary Coach Ron Polk of Mississippi State was the speaker at the 2003 SCS banquet. The 2003 Series included six solid, franchised teams which were among the best in the Southeast. Indicative of the competitive nature of the league, the regular season champions, Chattanooga Cyclones, and tournament champions, Birmingham Baseball, were two different teams. Several players who were in the SCS in 2003 and 2004, are now playing in the SEC in 2004, or will be playing in the SEC in 2005. The 2004 SCS had nine superlative teams with each team having a roster of players worthy of being recruited to the college level. Once again in 2004, the regular season champions, Jackson Heat, and the tournament champions, Chain Baseball, were two different teams. Coach Mike Biancho of the University of Mississippi was the guest speaker at the 2004 SCS banquet in Jackson, Mississippi, where an All-SCS team was announced. The SCS will expand to at least twelve teams in 2006, with an ultimate goal of fifteen teams divided into three divisions.
