Flying Pigs Sports and Gametime Prospects Announce Exciting New Partnership

Two respected North Carolina travel sports organizations join forces with a shared commitment to player development, positive experiences, and doing things the right way.

LEXINGTON, N.C. — November 9, 2026 — Flying Pigs Sports and Gametime Prospects are excited to announce a new partnership that will bring together two outstanding travel sports programs committed to developing young athletes, building character, and creating an environment where players can grow both on and off the field.

The partnership represents an exciting step forward for both organizations, combining their experience, leadership, and shared philosophies to create even greater opportunities for athletes and families throughout the region.

Both organizations believe in developing fundamentally sound athletes, teaching accountability and sportsmanship, and creating an atmosphere where players can compete at a high level while still enjoying the game they love.

Flying Pigs Sports Owner Danny Kirkman expressed his excitement about bringing the two organizations together.

"I've always believed that if you're going to do something, you need to do it the right way," said Kirkman. "Our philosophy with the Flying Pigs has always been centered around two things: player development and having fun. Winning is important, and we certainly want to compete, but developing good players and even better young people will always come first. Wayne and I share that same vision, and that's what makes this partnership so exciting. We're bringing together two quality organizations that genuinely care about kids and their families. I believe we can build something really special together."

Gametime Prospects Owner Wayne Turnage echoed that enthusiasm, emphasizing the importance of shared values and a commitment to the athletes.

"This partnership is about putting our players and families first," said Turnage. "We want to provide young athletes with the coaching, development, and opportunities they need to reach their potential, while making sure they enjoy the experience along the way. Danny and I see eye to eye on what youth sports should look like. By working together, we have an opportunity to strengthen both programs and create something that families can be proud to be part of."

The partnership will focus on building a strong foundation for long-term success through quality coaching, consistent player development, positive team cultures, the right resources, and an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way.

Rather than measuring success solely by trophies and tournament victories, Flying Pigs Sports and Gametime Prospects will emphasize each athlete's growth, the relationships built along the way, the lessons learned through competition, and ultimately helping players accomplish their goals on and off the field.

"At the end of the day, we want kids to look back on their time with our organizations and say they became better players, made lifelong friendships, and had an incredible experience," Kirkman added. "If we accomplish those things, we've done our job. And if we do those things the right way, the winning will take care of itself.  Additionally, if players desire to play collegiately we will guide them on that journey. 

Both organizations look forward to sharing additional information about the partnership and future opportunities for players, coaches, and families.

Two programs. One shared vision. Doing things the right way.
