For the past two years, we have been the largest tournament in the metro area the weekend before Memorial Day. Last year we hosted 76 teams! We use 15 high quality fields at the Lac Lavon complex in Burnsville, the Johnny Cake complex in Apple Valley as well as the JV and Varsity fields at Eastview and Apple Valley High Schools. We are a great value with 5 guaranteed games at $450, with all of the balls provided.
New for 2025
Our registration numbers now allow us to offer full individual cometition at the A, B and C levels for both 10U and 12U. We will start at 8 for each group and add in increments of 4. We will reassess availability if any competition level gets to 16 teams. Our goal with this change is to make every game is as competitive as possible, limiting the number of lopsided group games where neither team gets much development out of it.
Returning associations are guaranteed a spot through March 31! We get it, everyone keeps filling these tournaments up earlier and earlier each year, many times before associations even have their teams formed. We want to help with that and have the capacity to do so. How it works: if your association participated and sent X teams last year, your association is guaranteed up to X spots this year through March 31. Please reach out to the tournament director if you would like to exercise this option and at what levels so we can plan ahead. Due to heavy demand, this reservation option is good through Jan 23.
We will be offering two levels of competition for 8U: A and B/C. 8U A will have 5 guaranteed games and play both Saturday and Sunday. 8U B/C will be a one day tournament on Saturday with 3 guaranteed games.
We look forward to seeing you in 2025!
