In August our teams will be making a once in a lifetime trip to Cooperstown Dreams Park in Cooperstown, NY.

Our boys will be competing in a week long tournament of baseball that they will be sure to remember for the rest of lives! They will be playing competitive baseball with over 100 other teams from all over the United States. In addition, they will also have the opportunity to go to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and each player will be inducted in the Youth Baseball Hall of Fame. It's an opportunity that will only come once in a lifetime and it is ONLY offered at the 12 year old level, which is why they need your help!

In the next few months, these teams will be participating in various fundraising events to help offset their costs to participate in this prestigious tournament.

Please come out and support our teams!
