Dear All:

I am in search of a tournament for players 18 and over (wood bat) for the 2010 season. We've done USBC World Series and tournaments in Cooperstown, Minnesota and Arizona.

Looking for something new -- but only seeing 18 under stuff. My kids are 18-23 collegiate players...any ideas?

Coach,

I do not know what your timeframe is, but look at the NABF website. You would have to join the league, but it's no different than playing a tournament entry fee. You would then play in a Regional Tournament in New York for a chance at the NABF World Series in Ohio. There are two leagues that might be of interest to you: 22U or the Unlimited Age Group.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately there is a competing NABF league in the area and they kind of build a fence around us joining any of their events.

Maybe a one-off tournament. Thanks!

i am working or trying to put together one here in GA for next year I will keep you posted

That would be great. We were actually trying to go to Georgia and play at East Cobb. They only host 18U to my knowledge.

I'd definitely be interested. What part of GA? Atlanta, Marietta?

Thanks!

Tides-

I don't know of too many tournaments that are 18+, but perhaps you can try to connect with a collegiate summer league in another region of the country and travel to play some teams in their league. There are tons of leagues and I'm sure some of them play some sort of non-league schedule.
