Playing The Game The Right Way

Buddy Meyer created the first "Chain Baseball" team in 1985 through his company, Chain Reps LLC. Our current ownership played for Chain Baseball in 1993 and began coaching a Chain team in 2007 — the Chain name became the foundation for everything our organization has built since.

From San Diego, CA to Winston-Salem, NC, from Forest Park, GA to Tampa, FL, the growth of our organization has been remarkable. With that growth came growing pains — the original Chain Baseball infrastructure was never designed to scale to this magnitude.

Since Buddy's passing in 2014, we've recorded back-to-back 15U and 16U PG National Championships, ranked our freshman group #2 and our sophomore group #3 in the country, and sent 32 players to D1 programs in a single year — all firsts in the organization's history.

In the best interest of our players, coaches, and organization, we made the decision to retire the Chain name and move forward under a new brand capable of serving amateur players across the nation: Five Star National. Nothing has changed but the name.
