What to know
Southeast Spotlight is April 9 to 11, 2027, Friday to Sunday, and the page lists $550 per team for boys 10U-17U with 4 games guaranteed. The visible location is only Marietta, Georgia. The page's event data gives 3910 Canton Rd with no venue name, and that address is Next Play 360.
The hotel box reads: teams "can book their hotels through Prep Network's SaveAndPlay" and anyone traveling "more than 90+ miles will be required to book a minimum of 8 reservations for the weekend". No fee or deadline is stated on the page.
The policy document describes non-marquee events as optional for SaveAndPlay, with no distance rules. This event is not on the marquee list, so the two sources do not match and the status stays unclear.
A Friday-to-Sunday event means two nights for traveling teams. Eight rooms for 2 nights is 16 room-nights, our calculation. Hotels on our list are in Kennesaw and Woodstock, 8 to 10 minutes by car from the building.
