— All are welcome

It doesn't have to be father and son.

We welcome all kinds of arrangements — a coach bringing three or four players, an uncle and his nephew, a mother and son, a father and daughter who plays baseball. We've had several multi-generational families register together: grandpa, father, and son. All are welcome.

The players play three games

Age-appropriate baseball on an age-appropriate team — three games across the weekend on our MLB replica fields.

The adults play one

The Dads' Game, Saturday night — with the kids coaching. It's the part people talk about on the drive home.

Everyone stays on campus

Lodging in our world-class dormitories, 5 meals, and a campus full of things to do between games.
