Anyone have any recommendations where the 18u elite tournaments are (we are only looking to play the best - hopefully with good scout/college exposure). We will travel anywhere.

Go to the Illinois section of this website and look under Summer Travel Teams - Who's playing for whom? Many names and contacts for you to consider.

Check out the Michigan USSSA Great Lakes Challenge - Major Tournament June 23-25, 2006. College fields used (University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, Madonna University, and Concordia University), 4GG. NCAA umpires for all games. Highly scouted. Limited to 20 teams. Usuallu have teams from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Canada. Check it out at http://www.michusssa.com

Go to PG in GA July 10 -16 and B.E.S.T Baseball in Ft Meyers, FL. You'll get what you are looking for and more. No good 18U teams play USSSA at 18. Come south my friend there are tons of elite tournaments.

Great Black Swamp Bowling Green Ohio
Midland Tournament
Kentucky Colonel

There are events at U Kentucky and Purdue U this summer also..

U Michigan field will not be available for summer events due to construction, so any Ann Arbor events will be on other fields.

The NABF affiliated tournament is good also. Regional qualifiers/winners get to Jackson Miss for their world series.

Oldslugger8,

I sent you a PM.

Thanks for the info.
