The McHenry County Youth Sports Association has been hosting an international baseball tournament in Crystal Lake since 1993. The tournament first came to our area as the CABA (Continental Amateur Baseball Association) 15-Year Old World Series.

Our 25th annual event, which was held in July, 2017, included over 162 teams in six age categories, including several international teams. Our tournament field regularly includes teams from Japan, Brazil, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. In addition, teams from New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Canada, Russia, Lithuania and Aruba have participated.
