12u Cooperstown Payments
Each year we send a team(s) to Cooperstown, New York for an exciting week long baseball tournament. As is typical for most travel programs in our area, 12u teams participate in the Cooperstown event. Teams from around the nation come together for a unique experience near the iconic Baseball Hall of Fame. Players and coaches stay on campus ,in dorms with other teams and share meals and activities together. Each team is guaranteed a minimum of 7 games during their time at Cooperstown. There is also a skills competition, a trip to the Hall of Fame, and a number of other exciting opportunities for players and parents to participate in.
This year, our 12u Ewald / Kaplan team will travel to Cooperstown during the week of July 13th - 19th. The significant financial cost of this trip has always been outside the bounds of the typical annual team fees. As such we ask that parents offset the cost. Parents can make payments towards their child's trip directly through our website. We ask that players commit up or down to participating in the Cooperstown trip by 2/1/2024. We will have a follow up meeting Saturday Jan. 20th, 2024 to discuss the specific details for our trip.
