Comments:
A lot to organize, but seeing so many great teams from all over
the East Coast (even from as far as Alaska) make it worth the effort!
. In the past we've had a number of PONY national champs in attendance.
We took about 200 girls for the college showcase camp and had over
40 schools register to attend. Most schools stayed for the tournament,
an added bonus. The camp helps bolster an already strong tournament.
A showcase following a traditional tournament format, teams will
enjoy 8 games minimum. The Showcase Camp will be on Thursday, June
25th and is limited to 16 and 18&U players with teams that are
participating in the tournament. Players can register on the showcase
website. We’ve also provided a list of college coaches
that have been invited, and contacts for those coaches. We encourage
players to invite schools they are interested in. Players in the
showcase have a profile sheet made and inserted in the college recruiting
book given to the college coaches. They receive a showcase shirt
with their showcase number, and there will also be an informational
session on the recruiting process. All are encouraged to attend.
Pre-registration is necessary. Due to a limited # of spots, players
on teams not in the tournament will not be able to participate.
Our stiffest competition of the year, teams have come from 15+ states
and Canada for the weekend tourny that you surely won't want to
miss out on. One of the highlights of our summer every summer, last
year we had 3 days of perfect weather and great teams and superb
softball. Already nearly full, this is a great tournament to get
your team ready for nationals. Game MVP’s and the best trophies.
Same format as Memorial Day, with the 8 games minimum! Local hotels,
forests/parks, malls, and entertainment (Hersheypark) makes for
a great extended family vacation. This is a great chance for all
the age groups to come to a tournament together and get a lot of
playing time in. Bring all age groups in your organization to a
tournament! Because the event is a PONY qualifier, you will have
to be a PONY registered team. You can register at www.pony.org.
