"From the whole tournament staff to the community support, an awesome experience for all of the players, coaches and families. The level of competition was outstanding and the hosts were very accommodating. Plus, they also have planned off field activities for the teams. It’s very clear to see why this tournament has been around for many years.

A huge shout out to Tournament Director Dan Malone, and MCYSA President John Streit. Keep up the good work for all of these young athletes and families. I highly recommend this tournament to all of our baseball friends, and have let many International team contacts know about this event."

"This was my third year at the MCYSA International Championship and it was by far the best tournament experience I have ever had. This was my first time attending the “Opening Ceremony” and won’t be my last. The players and parents thought it was cool to march into Lippold in front of the crowd, and the celebrations and recognitions were great, but the Anthems of the different countries put it over the top. The players and parents are still talking about how awesome it was to be a part of it!

The competitiveness of this tournament was another great quality. No game time limits meant most games went the whole seven innings. No games stopped short in the middle of an inning because of the tick of the clock and coaches were challenged to manage their pitchers’ innings. WOW! It was like playing real baseball!"
