For the past three years, we have been the largest tournament in the metro area the weekend before Memorial Day. Last year we hosted 119 teams! We use 17 high quality fields at the Lac Lavon complex in Burnsville, the Johnny Cake and Quarry Point 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 $500, with all of the balls provided.
We offer full divisions of 16 teams featuring individual competition at the A, B and C levels for both 10U and 12U. Our goal is to make every game 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 January 31! How it works: if your association participated and sent X teams last year, your association is guaranteed up to X spots this year through January 31; note that 2026 teams do not have to be in the same divisions as the previous years. See below for current list of guaranteed spots by association and how many have been used. To use a guaranteed spot, sign up for the waitlist and we will move you fully into the division if you have guaranteed spots remaining to use.
For those that don't have guaranteed spots. Please use the waitlist to secure your spot in line for when the general registration opens on Feb 1.
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!
