Popular sports destination near Atlanta joins Capacity’s growing portfolio, bringing nationally recognized events to 170,000-square-foot indoor venue
ATLANTA, GA (PRUnderground) October 14th, 2026
Capacity Sports Group, a leading youth sports company that brings together proven operators, established event brands and sports destinations, today announced the expansion of its multisport operations at LakePoint Sports, adding the Champions Center Indoor Pavilion and Publix Fields to its growing portfolio. Located in Emerson, Ga., near Atlanta, LakePoint Sports is one of the nation’s premier youth sports destinations, drawing athletes and families from across the globe.
Prep Baseball, part of Capacity Sports Group, has operated tournaments at LakePoint since 2019, including the National Program Invitational, National Championships and Future Games. Through this transaction, Capacity Sports Group now owns the 78-acre property comprising the Baseball Village and Publix Fields and holds a lease to operate the Champions Center. The expanded role builds on Capacity’s established baseball presence and creates opportunities to grow programming across additional sports.
Welcoming millions of guests annually, LakePoint Sports is anchored by three signature venues. The Baseball Village features eight major league-sized synthetic turf fields, while the 170,000-square-foot Champions Center Indoor Pavilion accommodates 12 basketball courts or 24 volleyball courts. Publix Fields provides three multiuse turf fields for sports including soccer, lacrosse and football.
“LakePoint brings together exceptional facilities, established events and experienced people that are at the heart of what we’re building at Capacity,” said Ken Kocher, CEO of Capacity Sports Group. “Our success in baseball provides a strong foundation to grow across more sports and communities. Expanding our role at LakePoint is a significant step, and our focus is on supporting the people and programming that make it a destination families want to return to.”
Capacity Sports Group was introduced in January 2026 following the merger of Prep Baseball and Bullpen Ventures, building on a relationship between their leadership teams dating to 2010. The combined organization includes Prep Baseball tournaments and showcases, Top Tier teams and Bullpen’s multisport experiences, connecting scouting, showcases, media and player development with tournament programming and venue operations.
The company’s strategic focus spans baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball and flag football. Since its launch, Capacity has added Play9 Sports, United Sports, YSC Sports, Sideline Soccer Solutions and Flag Football Life. Those additions have expanded its capabilities across Midwest baseball and softball tournaments, Philadelphia-area multisport facilities, soccer events and flag football leagues and competitions.
“Athletes and coaches know LakePoint for the competition, and families remember the experience they have here,” said Blake Hibler, president of Capacity Sports Group. “Our teams have been part of that through Prep Baseball’s events. Bringing the facilities and programming closer together allows us to build on that experience and draw on expertise across Capacity.”
