2026 Team State Championship Invitees

The following is list of the K-8 invitees to the 2026 Georgia K-12 Team State Championship to be held on April 26th.

Please note that the school has qualified in each section, not the individual players. The results from the Qualifier shown below include the top scoring players on each team. However, the Team Championship roster is up to the coach and may include players not on the lists below and/or exclude players who attended Qualifiers.

Alternate teams will be notified if a qualifying team does not register by the deadline or cancels. Other schools from outside the greater Atlanta area may qualify as well. If you know your team can't make it, please be courteous and release your spot ASAP so that we can notify an alternate. Also note that any Georgia High School team can register (no qualifying needed).
