Headed there today with my 12 year old. I truly don’t know what to expect except bankruptcy.

Kids will have a blast
Coaches are stuck with the kids 24/7
Parents get to hang out, explore the area when games aren't being played
Parents have to sit in the designated areas down the foul lines in the outfield, away from the players, coaches, and umpires
Games may be played at any time 1AM is not unheard of
Make time to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
Kids will have at least 1 free day from pool play

The year we went, Carrolton out of New Orleans won the championship. The winning pitcher, Kade Anderson

Do kids still stay with host families during these trips?

When my nephew was playing Babe Ruth ball with JPRD East, their 13 y/o season tournament was up in Little Rock, one of the host families mom they stayed with was hot AF. All the dads wanted their kid to stay with them..

“Parent dugouts” suck. Terrible angle. You cannot see anyone else’s game without entering their parent dugout. 10 foot fence engulfs the entire field. Outfield is perfect homerun distance for 12 year olds.

Summer weather in Cooperstown is awesome. The pizza place outside the ballpark is not good. Evening Cookouts at someone’s rental house makes for great memories.

The whole baseball experience is awesome. They are experts at running this tournament.

It was quite a while ago, but just a cool arse place. My advice, don’t let cost ruin something really cool for you and your boy. Money is just a tool, no more important than a hammer. Use it accordingly, and this is one of those times.

Enjoy the entire little town. Get a burger or a dog, check out the little shops, buy something for you and your kid, be blown away by the HOF, and have fun.

One of our team dads went twice with his oldest. Said it's an awesome experience. We're planning to go there in 2 years.

Yea 200 yard fences. Lots of kids hit their first home runs there.

I like the idea of renting houses next to other parents and being able to enjoy the evenings without the kids.

If you take all baseball related things away from Cooperstown, it is still a truly amazing small town to visit. Surrounded by hills/mountains and the finger lakes. It's like a small town out of a movie. It's awesome.
