SEAA Showdown June 7-8
The tourney will be played at two locations. Play begins with the boys teams Friday at the Jaycees Complex at the Fairgrounds.
A feature of the opening night will be an home run hitting contest, sponsored by Gregory’s Promotional Pro-ducts.
The contest will be open to all youth softball players regardless of whether they have a team in the tournament or not.
Age divisions for boys or girls teams will be 8-under coach pitch, 10-under,12-under,14-under,16-under, and 19-under.
“We want all the Warren County area youth softball teams to play this tournament,” said Mike Mason, SEAA director of youth softball. “We have several teams traveling to play here and we would encourage all area teams to participate.”
After Friday’s opening at the fairgrounds, the girls’ teams begin play Saturday at the Civic Center with the boys continuing play at the fairgrounds.
All girls play will be Saturday at the Civic Center fields, with all boys games scheduled for the fairgrounds.
“This is my fourth year to do a youth softball tournament in Warren County, and this year we acquired additional field space to accommodate a larger field of teams,” Mason added. “I invite all coach-pitch teams, league softball teams, and anyone interested in putting together a team for the Showdown to contact me in Sparta. With the Elementary School Tournament just completed we want those teams to play this tournament and compete against some out of the area teams.”
Entry fee is $125 per team and sanction fees and softballs are included in that fee. There is a three-game guarantee, with teams earning berths to play in the SEAA State Tournament to be held later in June at Cookeville.
