The 2029 Mojo team led by Head Coach Barry Collier is comprised of players born in 2011 or later  and, until recently, the squad was called the 2029 Marucci Patriots National squad.

Now under the Mojo banner, this team is one to watch from the Gulf Coast—which stretches from Texas through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.

Here’s a closer look at this team including a unique fundraiser that takes advantage of its proximity to the water!
