Parents and Players Love MSM!
With it's unique format, it's really hard to beat a fun MSM weekend. Check out what parents and players have sent us. We have 100s and 100s of these. Just hit refresh to see more!
This was AWESOME!! Thanks so much! We wish it was next weekend too! Everyone had a blast! 🙂 Thank you!!!
It was such a fun weekend to watch these classmates have the opportunity to play together and come away as the MSM Champions!! MSM was well organized and the umps were great! We look forward to playing again!
Cool tournament!
MSM is such a cool tournament that gives classmates a chance to play with and against current teammates former teammates and other players they have played against.
Kids had a terrific time and wish it was more than one weekend during the fall.
My son had a terrific time at the camp. The question/answer session with the coaches was extremely beneficial. Knowing the information now, when my kid is 11, will be beneficial as he moves forward in his baseball endeavors.
Great fun all about baseball experience!
The level of competition was incredible. The event was very well run and the communication was also second to none. My son loved the school gear and having the opportunity to play baseball for his school (we'll never understand why baseball can't be a "school sport" in middle school). Our team ended up winning our division so that was a bonus but my son would have loved the experience almost as much if we'd only have played 3 games. My son was also thrilled that the booster club at his school had a social media post announcing it first thing this morning. Such a cool experience all the way around. Thank you for organizing this!
We have two season of 6th grade MSM. It is a blast to see all our baseball friends and school friends come together (and play baseball)
What a fun weekend orf bonding amongst classmates. Memories that will last a lifetime
Had an awesome time at Middle School Match up. It was lots of fun for the boys.
Both of my boys have played high-level baseball for years. MSM is ALWAYS the tournament they look forward to the most every year. My older son literally had tears coming down his face after his last MSM. last fall There's no pressure... just playing the game they know how to play, and doing it with their friends. And absolutely trying to compete for their school.
Very fun atmosphere getting to play with his buddies from school. Thank you for helping my son make memories he won’t forget.
Our kids had a blast. We had a combined team so they got to know other kids as well as play with their friends. It’s too bad this is just once a year! Will do again!
I signed my son up because he's entering middle school in the fall with hopes of him making new friends at his new school but noone else from his school actually signed up. So we got put on a team of random kids and the relationship evolved from acquaintances to best buddies over the course of the 3 days they were together. I highly recommend MSM since it was a fun memorable experience for my son and his teammates!
My son had so much fun playing baseball and running into old friends/teammates. Will definitely sign up again and help spread the word!
What a great tournament and a great time for the boys! Our MSM team was made up of players from about five different teams; so, for some of the boys this was their first chance to play together since they were much younger - if ever. I had more than one boy tell me how much fun it was playing with ALL of their friends together. Even better... they beat their cross-town rival, so they have some BRAGGING RIGHTS! I know they are all already talking about NEXT year! p.s. The rings are AWESOME! They all wore them to school the next day, and they are so proud. Great job to the entire team at MSM for making this such a memorable experience for players, coaches AND fans!
This is our first year and we were astonished on how well put together this was. (Don't even worry about the emails at the beginning 🙂 ) It was extremely smooth and I will recommend to anyone that will listen!
Great event, the first time my kid has been able to play and represent his school.
Best youth baseball experience we’ve had in years.
Had a great time and played competitive teams!
A way for young men to play with new and old friends. Such a great community event!
One of the best tourneys
Fun event for the kids
What a neat idea! AND our school won too! So thats a plus. If I can give some feedback. There were few of my kids friends that did not hear about it until it was too late. Several great baseball players. This was the same for last year when my kid did not participate because he had no idea this existed. This year he remembered! For next year, it would be great if there was a way to get the work out more other than word of mouth. Other than that, best idea ever!
Our team had a blast regardless of only winning one game, alot of memories were made!
We had such an amazing experience all around!! The boys had great chemistry and they enjoyed playing with their friends from school! MSM kudos to y’all for pulling off such a challenging and fantastic event!! Looking forward to the next one!!
What an amazing experience! MSM is run so well; so organized but with a great personal touch. The boys loved every minute of it! Thank you for a great weekend full of memories.
Went in as a free agent and put with a team. The kids were so open and nice to a new kid. The coaches were motivating and fun and the parents were so nice as well. It made baseball even more fun.
It’s so fun that kids get to play with their classmates and make new friends.
Great to see kids of all levels coming together and having some friendly matchups!! Every kid I saw was enjoying the day!
Awesome experience for the kids! Everyone is there to have fun, including umpires and coaches. Will play again next year
My son had so much fun playing with and against his school and regular baseball team buddies. It was a great time!
My son had a blast, the fields were nice. Only suggestion I have is to have working scoreboards.
No better way in the DFW area for middle school boys to play together than at the MSM tournament.
My son had a great experience with MSM. He had a few friends on the team and also made new friends all while getting to play a super fun tournament. It was fun to see the kids try new positions and just have a good time.
Great event for piers to have a chance to play together!
My son and teammates got to play in 6th, 7th & 8th grade, going to miss this tournament being a part of his middle school baseball journey! Thank you MSM for hosting and volunteering on having this great tournament! Class of 2001
My son really enjoyed playing with his friends AND he says he learned some things from his coach. Great time all around
My son had an amazing time playing MSM!! He was able to meet new teammates and have so much fun playing baseball! We all left with smiles and new friends!
It was a great event and my 7th grade son enjoyed all the great instruction. The parents Q&A was informative. I would highly recommend it and we look forward to attending again in the future.
What a fun tournament! My son loved playing with all his buddies from school, and playing against other friends he knew too. Was great experience playing with other kids that he normally wouldnt play with as they are on different teams.
My son has been playing baseball for 6 years. Even though the team did not win he never seemed happier after a series of games then this tournament. He enjoyed being with his friends to play the game he loves. Umpires all weekend were also very good.
Fantastic experience for our family, our son has played in this tournament two years in a row and this year was better than last year (which was great). I would highly recommend this tournament!!
My son had so much fun even as a “free agent.” He said he learned so much from our coach and the other boys.

My kid had a wonderful weekend of stress free baseball and hanging out with new and old friends! We had a blast!
What a great weekend!! Our team had so much fun playing on the field and making memories at the hotel. Every part of the tournament went so smoothly. Our boys won the championship and received championship T-shirts and they were so excited to wear them the next day to school to show all of their friends that they were MSM Champs!!
It was great getting these boys together that will eventually play high school ball together! They had loads of fun.
This was our 2nd MSM and we loved it just as much as the 1st! We love that it gives our boys who grew up together the opportunity to play together! The program is well organized, teaches team work and to be competitive while still having fun. Middle School Match-up fans for life!
My son had an absolute blast, and got to make some great new friends.
This is a great way to make new friends, reconnect with old through the same passion for baseball. My son looks forward to next year!
Our team and their parents team can't wait to do it again next year! Most of the boys have been hanging out on their free time ever since. I think that was the point. Well done MSM!
My son has played baseball since he was 4 and he told me this weekend was his favorite weekend of baseball ever!
My son had the best time playing with his friends from school this weekend. I heard my player say everyone was playing better because there wasn't any pressure- just fun.
What a great experience for these boys! Thank you for putting this program together!
What a well-run event! My son had a blast and, more importantly, met some new teammates/upcoming classmates that gave him a boost of confidence heading into middle school!
The boys had such a great experience at the Middle School Match Up! We can’t wait till next year! 😁
Everybody says that youth sports are supposed to be about fun…but we all know that the pressure to perform gets higher and higher the older these kids get. Especially playing on travel teams. This was an awesome experience where these kids just got to be kids and have fun without the pressure! We WILL be back for the next one for sure!!
Awesome event. Thank you.
Summer 2021 was my son's third time to play MSM with his pure school team. It's fully expected that these kids would have a fabulous time playing with their school buddies. What is unexpected is how fun it is to play AGAINST players on your regular team! From one of our base runners shaking off the pitcher contemplating a pickoff, to the opposing coach cuing up a couple of our players' walkup songs, this was truly #happybaseball!
A great experience and I would definitely recommend it.
Our Harwood JH boys were the first HEB kids to compete in MSM and they made the finals. We loved the format, the organization and the opportunity! Need more schools in the west side to join the fun!
MSM was great for us for a few reasons. It allowed boys who grew up together but have very different levels of baseball skill to compete in a real tournament. MSM also introduced boys to one another early who will likely end up on a highschool team together. Highly recommend MSM to any up and coming 6th, 7th, 8th grade players and families.
My son received some great feedback from the coaches. I got some great information on college recruitment, expectations and next steps for my son's baseball career.
This was our second time playing MSM and it won’t be the last. This is a great tournament. Well organized. The kids love getting a chance to play together.
MSM was a great experience for both our 6th & 8th grade sons to play in. They both play select baseball and have played against their classmates in many tournaments but haven't had the opportunity to play on the same team. This gives them the chance to know how great it will be if they play high school baseball with the kids they see and talk to everyday and help build that bond on and off the field. We highly recommend giving your player the opportunity to play MSM whether they are playing travel or Little League Baseball, it's an experience they will never forget.
This has been our third MSM. Our boys love it and we as a tight group of parents look forward to it every year. Thank you.
Really enjoyed it! Great staff and easy to chat with.
What an awesome weekend of baseball. My son had the time of his life. The coaches were fantastic and the boys had a blast. Can't wait to do it again next year.
It is great to have all the boys get to play together on one team! Making memories!
Great experience for my son. He made new friends and played alot of quality baseball. We're certainly all in for next year.
Our daughter attended the hitting camp and had a great time, learned a new drill and for first time had her power off the bat timed. She already knew she could hit the ball hard, but when she was able to attach a number to it her confidence was boosted even more. As parents, we really loved hearing directly from scouts. Hearing what they look for confirmed the things we are doing right and will help us avoid doing things in the future that may automatically disqualify our player. Loved the tips about what NOT to spend money on as we are trying to promote our players to colleges and universities.
It was a memorable weekend with new friends. Kids has the great experience representing their school playing baseball.
Great experience, My son Noah had a terrific time. First time we were able to play as a unit with kids we've known for years and made some new friends. Great event Great people couldn't be happier. Thanks MSM
Boys had a blast!!
This was ours son's 2nd time playing in the MSM and he has really enjoyed it. The boys have a lot of fun being able to play with and against their friends. A great experience!
The team building was excellent! It was great to see a group of kids who don’t know each other well come together and work hard, cheering for everyone. It was great that kids of all skill levels were able to come together, contribute, and have a great time.
Excellent tournament that enabled all of our school’s boys to play great ball together. What a fantastic bonding experience for the kids and parents!
Our coach has been coaching select bb for 6 years. My son is a single a player he was treated with the utmost respect by the coach and assistant as well as his son who I don’t know where he plays but a great player. Thanks for the smile our coaches put on my sons face!
Great time for the boys
This is my fifth year with boys in the MSM program and I have to say it’s been a blast for both of them. They each play baseball at a high level with their select teams but there’s nothing like playing with your classmates and friends at school, no matter the level of the team’s success on the ball diamond. Everyone has a great time and the anticipation of the tournament every year has been like a second Christmas for them.
MSM is such a great, relaxed environment for the boys to get out and play with their friends from school! Job well done MSM!! #happybaseball
He had the best weekend playing with his buds!!
My sons team of 7th graders did not place in tourney, but EVERY one of those boys came off the last game with smiles on their faces!! Who wants to loose, but this shows what the coaches main message was.....meet new boys, do your best, but have fun!!!! Great experience!!!
Great experience for the boys and their middle school. Fields, umpires, staff and vendors were great! My son had a blast and is excited for the next MSM tournament.
The boys really enjoy playing with their school friends and just going out and having fun. MSM is a great concept and seems to be enjoyed by all.
This was our first experience with MSM. It did not disappoint. My son had a blast playing with classmates that he only gets to talk to about baseball. It’s something that he will remember for a long time. He won’t remember if they won it all or not, since that is not the point. He just keeps talking about how much fun he had with his team and the jokes they kept telling each other. What a blast, and he is already asking when the next MSM is. Thank you MSM for a great baseball weekend.
What a wonderful experience for both my boys! Can’t wait to do it again next year!
My son loved getting the opportunity to play positions he doesn’t normally play on his usual team. It was a fun laid back chance to experiment!
This was the second year that we participated in Middle School Matchup. It was a great way for the boys to bond before they go into high school and play with their classmates. It was laid back and most importantly the boys had a great time playing without pressure. The whole environment was fantastic.
Great event!! My son had a great time playing baseball with his school friends. A couple suggestions......it would be great if each complex hosting the event had T-shirts for sale, the board with all the kids playing and food collection boxes as outlined in the email. Thanks!!
He was so excited to see foul balls hit so that he could get Whataburger!!
Well organized fun tournament! Thank you!
What a great weekend! It was great to play with classmates of all different levels and meet new people.
This was some of the best baseball I have seen since my son has been playing baseball. I really enjoyed seeing all levels of experience come together into one team.
This was an amazing experience
Great tourney!!! Kids had a great time. well run, great kids, coaches and umps. Looking forward to next year!!!
Kyle enjoyed getting to know some of the other baseball players at his middle school. As the parents commented, that is the core of our future high school team developing!!
Would highly recommend.
My son is not very outgoing and has only played on 2 different teams in 5 years, he does not come out of his bubble very often so I didn’t know how this would go! He opened right up to his Combo team and had a blast…
It was so much fun!!!
What a great weekend of baseball. Very fun tournament that brought kids together that don’t play together. Camaraderie was great
The 8th grade players on the Rogers Middle school in Prosper said they had a lot of fun but wish they had one more shot at a championship in the spring. Hopefully MSM can work it out and give all the 8th graders in the metroplex one more tournament. Personally I am thankful for allowing the kids an opportunity to play with their classmates before high school. They had a blast!
What a wonderful experience for both my boys! Can’t wait to do it again next year!
Son had a great time playing in this tournament. Well Organized.
This was my son's first year playing for MSM. He is a 6th grader in McKinney. The boys had a great time getting together with other students from their school that they may not normally play with. The coaches were also great and it was FUN FUN FUN.
I've coached youth baseball for 10 years. The MSM tournament was unlike any other tournament I've been a part of. My team was full of school pride playing for their middle school! I strongly recommend MSM!
What a fun weekend! Very well organized and boys got to play ball with classmates they might not normally get to play with. We had great parent and student support too! Wish we would have done this in 6th and 7th grade as well.
Very fun event for the kids.
The boys were huddled up before the first game I heard one say to the other" imagine our school having two teams if everyone signed up and what that would look like"
Our team and their parents team can't wait to do it again next year! Most of the boys have been hanging out on their free time ever since. I think that was the point. Well done MSM!
My son enjoyed being able to play with his classmates! He even made a few new friends. The facilities were great and very family friendly! Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
Would definitely recommend! Our son had never expressed an interest or played baseball until MSM. Coach Price worked with him and he and an awesome time and experience to the point where he will now play in the spring. Thanks to the staff and coach for making our son a success story.
It was a memorable weekend with new friends. Kids has the great experience representing their school playing baseball.
No better way in the DFW area for middle school boys to play together than at the MSM tournament.
My son, Dylan, had a great time playing high level baseball with his friends from Willow Springs Middle School. We are new to the North Texas area so it gave us a good glimpse that there is life outside of football in Texas sports! The talent level was amazing and the games were fun to watch. We are happy that we were part of the MSM experience.
This was the second year that we participated in Middle School Matchup. It was a great way for the boys to bond before they go into high school and play with their classmates. It was laid back and most importantly the boys had a great time playing without pressure. The whole environment was fantastic.
This is my fifth year with boys in the MSM program and I have to say it’s been a blast for both of them. They each play baseball at a high level with their select teams but there’s nothing like playing with your classmates and friends at school, no matter the level of the team’s success on the ball diamond. Everyone has a great time and the anticipation of the tournament every year has been like a second Christmas for them.
This was a fun a well organized tournament. I loved my son being able to play with his classmates. All these boys play in different clubs so it was fun to see them play with their future high school teammates.
My son had a great time and got to show his classmates what he was all about. We had several coaches come try to recruit my son after the games. It was a lot of fun and also competitive.
I would like to extend a Thank you to MSM staff for putting a great, fun tournament for the kids. We did not have many practices but the boys enjoyed every bit of playing together. When my son tells me I'm proud to play with my school friends for his middle school (GISD-Hudson) it speaks volumes about what the tournament is about. Its about having fun, team building, competing and proudly representing your middle school. Id like to Thank MSM for allowing me to coach a combined metro team, not only did our kids bond with other teammates I also had the opportunity to meet some great parents that enjoy the game of baseball. Thank you Meno
This was our second year playing in MSM and me coaching our MSM teams. Last year was great as it was a new experience. This year was even better as we kind of knew what to expect which allowed us to focus more on just having fun. We had great competition, fantastic fields and awesome umpires the entire weekend. Can't wait for MSM next year, although it will be our last I am sure it will be our best year of all.
My son had a blast playing baseball with his school mates which doesn't happen in middle school. Wish we could do it next year, unfortunately the kids have to pick one sport in High School
Great time awesome venue for the kids
My son plays on a nationally ranked select team. It was fun to see him play with the kids he goes to school with and friends with. I haven't seen him smile so much on the field. Plus he was able to show his friends his baseball skills which was nice for him....
"PLAYING WITH MY FRIENDS FEELS LIKE WE ARE WINNERS ALREADY "
Great job Middle School match up staff. I had my ninth player show up Saturday morning with a broken hand from the night prior. Was very impressed with the onsite tourney directors response to finding a last min sub player @ Bachus in Frisco. He even followed up to ensure we had no issues halfway through our first game!
This was our first experience with the MSM. My son had a great time. He got to meet so many players from other areas and the one common theme was baseball. I saw him between games talking and laughing with kids he had never met before. What a way to build fellowship between schools. Thanks to everyone who puts this tourney together!!!
"That was fun!"
Most fun my son has had playing baseball since starting!
This was the an outstanding weekend of family fun and some great baseball. My son plays AA and played for Staley Middle School and absolutely had the best time playing and representing the school. We talked for hours about he wonderful weekend and all of the talented teams. this is an event that should happen more often. Maybe a Spring Match Up. We would even be interested in a middle school mini season. The event was very well organized and well done. SUPER EXPERIENCE. THANK you so much. Please consider a Spring Match and a Mini Season.
My sons team of 7th graders did not place in tourney, but EVERY one of those boys came off the last game with smiles on their faces!! Who wants to loose, but this shows what the coaches main message was.....meet new boys, do your best, but have fun!!!! Great experience!!!
It was a great opportunity to play more baseball once the regular season it's over plus a positive way to interact with classmates from his middle schoo,..gran evento
My player bonded with other baseball players from school he may not have otherwise!
My son had so much fun playing with his friends. It was a great time by all. Looking forward to next year.
Great opportunity for schoolmates to interact and play together.
Great experience for my son. He made new friends and played alot of quality baseball. We're certainly all in for next year.
it is great for the kids that don't play on the same team but go to the same school to play together !! the only thing that is disappointing is stacking teams with all great talent !!
It was a blast! The kids had an amazing time.great experience for the middle school kids.
It was a blast! The kids had an amazing time.great experience for the middle school kids.
What an awesome weekend of baseball. My son had the time of his life. The coaches were fantastic and the boys had a blast. Can't wait to do it again next year.
My son and teammates got to play in 6th, 7th & 8th grade, going to miss this tournament being a part of his middle school baseball journey! Thank you MSM for hosting and volunteering on having this great tournament! Class of 2001
What a great weekend!! Our team had so much fun playing on the field and making memories at the hotel. Every part of the tournament went so smoothly. Our boys won the championship and received championship T-shirts and they were so excited to wear them the next day to school to show all of their friends that they were MSM Champs!!
What a great opportunity for kids to play with friends from school who they don't normally get to play with. My kids got the chance to play with kids they started playing baseball with years ago. Many kids take different paths in baseball but what a fun way to bring them back together for one weekend. Great memories for them.
This was AWESOME!! Thanks so much! We wish it was next weekend too! Everyone had a blast! 🙂 Thank you!!!
It's so much fun to see school buddies get the chance to play together! One of my favorite tourneys of the year.
Great event!! My son had a great time playing baseball with his school friends. A couple suggestions......it would be great if each complex hosting the event had T-shirts for sale, the board with all the kids playing and food collection boxes as outlined in the email. Thanks!!
I had the opportunity to coach a team this year. Not quite sure what we were getting into but ecstatic by the end of the weekend. This event is very well run. For the kids to have an opportunity to play with their classmates turned out to be very positive for all. We lost our 1st bracket game Sunday (3 extra innings) but the kids played hard and had a great time. The biggest thing they were fired up about was their Mannequin Challenge video that MSM put on the FB page. In 24 hours it had over 1000 views. The kids thought they were famous. Thank you again, we will see you next year!
Kyle enjoyed getting to know some of the other baseball players at his middle school. As the parents commented, that is the core of our future high school team developing!!
MSM was a great experience for both our 6th & 8th grade sons to play in. They both play select baseball and have played against their classmates in many tournaments but haven't had the opportunity to play on the same team. This gives them the chance to know how great it will be if they play high school baseball with the kids they see and talk to everyday and help build that bond on and off the field. We highly recommend giving your player the opportunity to play MSM whether they are playing travel or Little League Baseball, it's an experience they will never forget.
The boys had a blast playing on a team with all their middle school friends. We are looking forward to next year!
The boys really enjoy playing with their school friends and just going out and having fun. MSM is a great concept and seems to be enjoyed by all.
My son had a GREAT time at the MSM this weekend! It was fun to see the boys come together and play as a team representing their school for the first time. The event was very organized and a good time was had by all!
Fun event!
Great event and saw some wonderful softball this weekend. Would love to see it expand even more next year.
Great event! Lots of fun.
This was a great experience for my 8th grader. He has not played baseball for 2 years and he loved that he could play in a tournament with all his friends. He had a blast!
Son had a great time. Thanks MSM
This is my son's second year to participate in MSM! Once again it was an absolute blast. Logan said to me after the second game, "There is nothing more fun than looking up and seeing all my best friends playing our favorite sport all together". We can't wait til next year. Go Gators!
I loved coaching the kids and them getting to represent their school. My son had a blast and can't wait until next year and I hope to get the opportunity to coach the boys again. The boys had a lot of fun playing together.
