Upper Makefield Youth Baseball League

Tournament Dates: Saturday, April 30, 2011-Sunday, April 3, 2011

Location: Ripken Baseball Academy - Aberdeen, MD - 873 Long Dr., Aberdeen MD 21001

Imagine hitting a ball over the Green Monster at Fenway, or digging a ball out of the ivy at Wrigley, or hitting a towering homer off the warehouse at Camden Yards. This can be turned into reality when your tournament team plays a weekend at our beautiful Ripken Baseball Academy. All fields at the academy are scaled down versions of these timeless classics, including Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, Camden Yards (Cal Sr.'s Yard), and Old Memorial Stadium. With the addition of Citizens Bank and Nationals Park, both which include FieldTurf infields and natural grass outfields, the total now comes to 6 signature youth fields. The Academy is complete with numerous batting cages, two FieldTurf training areas, and many other amenities that make it a first class tournament destination for teams across the nation.

All games for the tournament will be played at the Academy. Tournament format may vary, but in most cases this includes three pool play games, semifinals, and championship games. Teams will have two pool play games Saturday and one pool play game on Sunday. All Semifinals and Championships will be held on Sunday following the remaining pool play games.

Many restaurants and activities surround the complex, including Ripken Stadium where you can enjoy a great night of minor league baseball for an even better price. Also, Aberdeen is a 30 minute drive from Baltimore where you can take in all the sights and sounds that the Charm City has to offer.
