Elite‑pro‑ball, operating through Elite Pro Ball Academy in Newberry, remains at the center of a legal dispute involving the city’s effort to reclaim its facility. The club’s master operating agreement was terminated in November 2023 due to unpaid taxes, insurance and other defaults, yet it continues to occupy the premises, prompting Newberry officials to pursue formal eviction proceedings. Legal filings in April 2024 confirm the city’s position that the club’s current occupancy is no longer authorized under the expired agreement. Elite‑pro‑ball’s continued presence has drawn public attention, including community advocacy on behalf of the Naturals teams housed at the facility. The outcome of the legal proceedings remains pending as both sides await resolution.
