Elite Pro‑Ball Academy Faces Ongoing Facility Dispute in Newberry
Elite‑pro‑ball’s Newberry‑based training organization continues to be the focus of a legal dispute over its use of a city‑owned facility. The club, operating under the name Elite Pro Ball Academy, previously held a long‑term agreement with the City of Newberry, initially established in 2011. That contract was terminated by the city in late 2023 following alleged failures to meet property tax and insurance obligations, although owners assert those debts were resolved. The city insists that the academy remained in default and occupies the premises without valid rights, prompting ongoing eviction litigation. The case remains unresolved as residents and parents of participants closely monitor developments.
