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!


Michael Quintero

This was the first year that we got to participate and we truly enjoyed the event. Thank You.


Nancy Casteel

My son loved this weekend. We play in tournaments all the time, but this one had such a fun atmosphere and he loved playing with his friends from school. Thank you!


Allyson Garagiola

Such a fun tournament! It was great to see kids and coaches from various schools cheering each other on. Such a positive , well organized and fun event! Well done!!


Alyssa Prescott

Awesome experience!


Josh Dey

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.


Christopher M Lee

Middle School Matchup is a wonderful experience for kids who do not play together and get a first chance to see what their high school future might hold. Such a fun treat. Lighthearted without the normal stress and energy of their own team environments. Truly recreational enjoyment.


Matt Feldman

Awesome event. Thank you.


Jett Andrews

I had the opportunity to coach the MSM the last two years and it truly is an experience like no other in youth baseball! My son is a high level player and has played in top events all over the country, but some of his best baseball memories are playing with his buddies from school in the MSM! It’s a must play event if you have a middle schooler!


Jose Rosales

This was all about the kids playing to have fun. While it was a competitive tournament, the boys really had fun playing with boys from their school and district. We will definitely do this again next year!


Russell Wilkins

We had a great time. The umpires did a great job. We will be back next year! TCA


Kirsten Walker

MSM was AWESOME! Such a great event for neighborhood friends to come together and play ball! Our son had a blast with his buddies from school and ready to play again in the next one!!!


Robert Bowers

Great time for the boys


Robby Deevers

I had one of the most gifted players I’ve ever seen at 12yrs old on my team that hit 3 home runs and struck out the side in 13 pitches this weekend...but to see him encouraging and rooting for some players that hadn’t played at the highest level of baseball, was refreshing and beautiful to see. Likewise, we had some very big hits and plays by some kids that may not play select or travel ball that only MSM affords classmates this opportunity. I think these boys will remember this weekend forever.


Amy Hill

Awesome weekend! My player had a blast playing with his friends from school! He made some lasting memories!


Travis Dodd

What a great experience for both myself and my son.


Kim Reid

What a great experience for these boys! Thank you for putting this program together!


Daniel Wollent

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!


Paul Schleifer

MSM is a great event that allows the kids to play baseball with their classmates. We always end up playing with and against former teammates and friends.


Michelle Killeen

What a great event! I highly recommend it!


Traci Phillips

Son had a great time. Thanks MSM


Cindy Hill

Absolutely love watching all our select team boys play against each other and also have a great time with their middle school buddies as well . Our favorite tourney of the year ! Thank you !


Antonio Cisneros

This event was phenomenal. It was well organized and well executed, and most of all, it's such a fun concept to be playing with kids from your neighborhood. Isaac told me "this is the most fun I have had playing baseball in a long time." As a parent, one cannot ask any more than that. Kudos, MSM.


Leigh Klotz

What an incredibly fun weekend of baseball!!! Now I see where #happybaseball came from because it’s the perfect way to describe it. Getting an opportunity to play with all of your school mates was the absolute best!!! So much joy coming from the dugout. The organization and communication was top notch and made the whole experience such fun. Thanks to all who put in all the hard work to make the tournament a huge success.


Darren Scott

My son had such a blast. Being a Majors player and being able to play all player levels gave him the opportunity to have so much fun that it reinvigorated him the Spring. It was so much fun, a great opportunity to meet parents from school that have kids playing baseball, but also the chance to make new friends.


Stacy Fletcher

I love middle school match up this was my son's 3rd year to do it and hes in 8th grade so we will not be able to do middle school match up next year or anymore but he knocked out a grand slam on his last night of middle school match up so he went out with a big Bang!


Chris Borchers

Our kids had such a great time playing together! We noticed the same with other teams, and had other coaches commenting to us how much fun our kids were having with each other. It didn't matter if we were winning or losing at the time - they just had an amazing time together!


Kim Uhlenhaker

Great experience for the kids to play with their school friends.

Brings out their sportsmanship, kindness and the spirit of baseball. I love it!


Trish Echaniz

MSM is the BEST 2 days of baseball, for kids who play select ball, this is just a fun time to play with friends that you usually dont get to play with. It can be challenging because everyone is at different levels but it really brings out their sportsmanship, kindness and the spirit of baseball. I love it!!!!


Adam Rivera

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


Derrick Hodnett

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.


Tracy Townsend

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!!


Carli Allen

I heard my player say, “I wish this was the team I got to play with all the time.” My son loved the opportunity to get to play with his school classmates. Such a great bonding activity for the boys. It’s such a bummer middle schools don’t offer baseball when there are this many boys who want to play!


Joel Stevens

After our last MSM tourney, our kids asked if they could make a select team and continue playing together.


Courtney Riley

Would highly recommend.


James Gaddy

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.


Nicole Chandler

Great idea and well run tournament!


Vanessa McMillen

This was our first year playing MSM and we are so glad we did. We had fun and made new and rekindled old friendship along the way. Our boys were inspired by the other kids they got to play with that it definitely reignited their love for the sport. Thank you MSM and all the volunteers and coaches. We appreciate all you do.


Lysa Bufford

This is our 2nd year of participation and our son’s school 2nd runner up status. While cold, it was a blast seeing him play with and against his friends. Select baseball is serious business, but MSM allows for fun, silly competition!


Heather Bordner-Ayyob

My children had an amazing time, thank you!


Adrian chavez

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


Andrea Hern

MSM is our favorite tournament of the year. The kids have a blast playing with their school friends, but also get to see and compete against many other friends they have played with over the years. It is a well run tournament that all of us look forward too!


Amber D.

Fun weekend of baseball for my son! Since most of the guys play select/club ball it was great to see them all wearing the same jersey on the field (instead of competing against one another!!) and get a glimpse into his future HS team.


Richard Whitman

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!


Wes Collier

Son loved the tournament and the opportunity to play baseball with his middle school friends. Can’t wait to play again.


Eric Talvy

Middle School Matchup was able to put together great talents for my son's team. My son was able to contribute his baseball skills to the team and won it all by getting the championship ring...His very first such accomplishments.. He was so proud of himself. He has participated with Middle School Matchup the last 3 years.(6th 7th and 8th grade.). I hope this fun experience he will treasure for the rest of his life...Thank You


David Stum

This tournament was very well organized and executed. The pace for the 2 days was fast and furious but I never saw a detail overlooked. I love the attention to detail prior to the event like the uniforms that match the colors of the players school and the excellent communication to the parents. Also, thanks for calling out parents who’s behavior was detracting from the overall purpose of the event. While I didn’t witness any of that personally, I appreciate the effort to keep the event fun. Well done!


Crystal Grant

My son had a blast during middle school matchup. Baseball was fun again, with no pressure and playing with buddies from school.


Nicole Hines

My son played MSM all three years of middle school. Great experience every year and wonderful memories made with classmates!


Cristina Ochoa

Our team had a blast regardless of only winning one game, alot of memories were made!


Melanie Healy

I am far from a “baseball mom”, but this tournament has been so much fun for both my son and myself! We would definitely recommend Middle School Matchup!!


Holly Stone

Fun, hope to participate again soon. Boys were very excited to play with their friends.


Allison Aring

My player really enjoyed being a free agent and the team of boys he played with. Coaching staff was excellent and the team welcoming. #happybaseball for sure


Jackson LINDSEY

My son is at Cobb. They had the opportunity to play Griffin. All the boys loved to take a sneak peak at the kids they would be playing with at Wakeland 2024 . Jackson said “I can’t wait to play with those kids again ! Wakeland is going to have a good squad and they seem like good teammates !”


Nancy Kile

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!!!


JP Kearney

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!


Eric Trauthwein

I saw my son be able to just play ball with his buddies as opposed to the unnecessary pressures and stress of select ball. It was refreshing and exciting!


Louis Bryant

My Son went into the tournament with an arm issue and told by Doctors to not throw for 2-3 weeks. Richard, the coach of the Roach team allowed him to participate and be a part of the team. Richard kept my Son involved by allowing him to bat but not take the Field. My Son was extremely pleased to be able to participate on a limited basis and learn from a strong coach.


David Koh

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.


Bettina Bassinger

A way for young men to play with new and old friends. Such a great community event!


Sue H

My son really enjoyed playing with his friends AND he says he learned some things from his coach. Great time all around


Austin Cranford

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


Nick Fluellen

What a great weekend of baseball! I really had no idea what to expect but since I coached a lot of these kids, who have since gone their separate ways with different baseball organizations, I thought it would be a lot of fun to get the group back together. We had a great time reuniting and added a number of new faces as well. Our goal was to have fun (and we did) but I was pleasantly surprised by the extremely high quality of baseball. Can't wait to do it again next year!


Hershell Barnes

Great tourney!!! Kids had a great time. well run, great kids, coaches and umps. Looking forward to next year!!!


Kimberly Cunningham

So impressed with how MSM is ran! My son had the best time ever. Learned a lot from major level players and helped other teammates push through their games. Highly recommend and will for sure signing my son up next year. Great job MSM


Sherice Rhoda

This was our first experience with MSM and it was amazing all around. Well planned and great communication from the organization. Our coach was amazing as well! My son loves the entire experience!!


Susan Quattrin

My son was able to play his 6th grade & 8th grade year and had a blast playing with friends from school.

One of the best tournaments we have ever played.


Aaron J Stalberger

One of the best tournaments we have ever played. Boys had a great time and took home the Championship win in the 7th grade upper bracket overall division. We will be back again.


Carol Kikuma-Lim

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!


Jeremiah Walker

A great experience and I would definitely recommend it.


Martin White

My twins had a great time playing with school teammates for the 1st time. Moving forward, I would however recommend that for the 8th grade you play this tournament at 60/90 vs 54/80 so it would be safer.


Becky Froehle

We are so thankful MSM was able to pull off this fantastic tourney with all of the weather challenges! This was our favorite year yet because we had 2 bots playing! Thank you MSM for a blast!


Jill Reagan

My 6th grade son, Cade, had a blast at both the summer & fall MSM tourneys! Thanks for putting together this awesome opportunity! I heard Cade say many times “This is so much fun!” There were smiles all around, evidence that it truly is #happybaseball!


Amy Peters

What I love most about MSM is that you have players from ALL levels playing together. It’s about school friends playing baseball together, who otherwise may never get the chance. Our coach never sits anyone, no matter what their skill level is, they ALL play, every game. It’s what MSM should be about!


Mathew Long

This was the 2nd year my son has played MSM, and my 2nd year to coach a team. This year was as much fun if not more fun than the last. All of the boys on our team smiled the entire time we were there. I am not sure which they enjoyed more, playing with their buddies from school or playing against the boys on the other school team that are normally their teammates. We plan to form an 8th-grade team to finish out our 3rd and final year with MSM. It is an event both you and your child will look forward to each season, trust me on that. Mathew Long - Keller ISD - Trinity Springs Middle School 7th


Ryan Hampton

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


Bryin Garofalo

My son had never played baseball and entered this tournament to see uf he liked it and wanted to play. The boys were amazing to him as well as the coach. They all welcomed him and helped him learn the ropes. He got his first hit and first run and he loved it. He is going to start playing in the fall.


Scott Schueler

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.


Michele Elwart

My son just finished playing in the Summer Smash. He had the best last two days playing the sport he loves with his friends. He is already asking when the next middle school match up is. Can’t wait!


Joel Stevens

Middle School Match-up was as much fun for the coaches as it was for the kids. We made a lot of great friendships and the kids were disappointed the fun only lasted for the weekend. I look forward to two more years of this tournament and hopefully we will play with the same kids and parents. #happybaseball


Jill Sentlingar

My son couldn't stop smiling last night as we drove home from our last game. He told me over and over again that he had a blast and can't wait to do this again!


Patsy Rowley

Our 8th grade team enjoyed playing together for the first time. Definitely gave them the exciting idea of playing together in high school. Thanks for organizing MSM!


Timothy Jones

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....


Bethany Golofit

This was so much playing with kids from my school who I don't play with on my Select Team!


sean m sharrer

One of the best tourneys


Ginger Anderson

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!


Joel Zeff

Absolutely awesome baseball tournament! The concept is brilliant. My son had an amazing time playing baseball with his school buddies who are all on different teams. Some of his friends he played with years ago, and some he never had a chance to play with until MSM. As a parent, it was inspiring to watch the players support each other, pick each other up during adversity, and succeed as a team. The whole concept of MSM is awesome. Thank you for the opportunity and promoting #happybaseball.


Clay E Johnson

My son was excited to meet new friends and play in a friendly atmosphere. The bantering back and forth with an opposing team was polite and refreshing to witness.


Clayton Greenberg

This was my son’s first time playing in MSM and my first time coaching. Being part of a combo/“skittles” team was by far the best experience! 12 boys who didn’t play together before, let alone half who never met before, came together and played selflessness baseball over 2 days. The most rewarding part of it was at the end - while we didn’t win it all on the field, the boys stuck around after the last game to exchange numbers. 12 kids made new friends. I highly encourage more “skittle” teams!


Tara Moore

My son has played baseball since he was 4 and he told me this weekend was his favorite weekend of baseball ever!


Brittany Woertendyke

He was so excited to see foul balls hit so that he could get Whataburger!!


Tina Sponsler

My 6th grader enjoyed playing with his classmates who are all one year older than him. He loved that his Social Studies teacher attended a game to cheer on the boys!


Sheryl McBryde

What an amazing day playing in Middle School Matchup. These boys played hard, had fun and took home the championship in their bracket. Aside from playing well as a team there were some pretty spectacular moments. Sunday Game 1 a perfect game was pitched and the team scored 17 runs. Game 2 a shut out was pitched and the team scored 11 runs. Game 3 pitchers held the opponent to 4 runs the hit a walk-off three-run in side the park home run for a 5-4 victory. To say the day was exciting is an understatement. Classmates from various teams came together as one and memories were made. Had an absolute blast.


Brandon Johnson

MSM was a great experience! My son had so much fun playing with his school friends!


Eric prince

It was great getting these boys together that will eventually play high school ball together! They had loads of fun.


Amy LeGate

Had a great time!!! Fun to meet new people and see old friends!


Brad Williams

Great to see kids of all levels coming together and having some friendly matchups!! Every kid I saw was enjoying the day!


christopher Fears

Great experience for everyone involved.


Yesika Strangfeld

I loved the fact that kids from same school were able to play a sport they love


Andrea Potiska

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!


Renee Fernandes

This was our first tournament with MSM and we had a great time! We got to play with friends and it was fun to watch. The MSM staff made the process easy, it was clear to understand and from out point of view, worked perfectly. We'll be back!


Ryan Horstman

What a great weekend of baseball. Very fun tournament that brought kids together that don’t play together. Camaraderie was great


Bob Gleason

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!


Chrissa Rabe

What a wonderful experience for both my boys! Can’t wait to do it again next year!


Russell Wilson

Son had a great time playing in this tournament. Well Organized.


Kelli Mau

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.


Tim Wright

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!


Karen Wydra

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.


Charlie Harmon

Very fun event for the kids.


Daniel Wollent

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"


Casey Bowers

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!


Jema K.H. Cook

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!


James from Frisco

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.


Janibel Delgado

It was a memorable weekend with new friends. Kids has the great experience representing their school playing baseball.


Randy Tamplen

No better way in the DFW area for middle school boys to play together than at the MSM tournament.


David Koh

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.


Kara Mason

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.


Jeffrey MacFarlane

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.


Sara Daun

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.


Scott Schueler

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.


Meno Rangel

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


Bill Lavrinovich

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.


Ryan Hampton

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


Dan Wollent

Great time awesome venue for the kids


Timothy Jones

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....


ERIC TALVY

"PLAYING WITH MY FRIENDS FEELS LIKE WE ARE WINNERS ALREADY "


Reggie Alexander

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!


Scott Stavenhagen

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!!!


Dee Fields

"That was fun!"


Kathy Waffen

Most fun my son has had playing baseball since starting!


Derrick Hodnett

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.


Nancy Kile

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!!!


Adrian chavez

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


Tara barton

My player bonded with other baseball players from school he may not have otherwise!


Becki Cordeiro

My son had so much fun playing with his friends. It was a great time by all. Looking forward to next year.


Kurt Liles

Great opportunity for schoolmates to interact and play together.


G. Scott Nazarenus

Great experience for my son. He made new friends and played alot of quality baseball. We're certainly all in for next year.


Gregg Walther

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 !!


erika luna

It was a blast! The kids had an amazing time.great experience for the middle school kids.


erika luna

It was a blast! The kids had an amazing time.great experience for the middle school kids.


James Gaddy

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.


Adam Rivera

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


Shalleen Shands

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!!


Jan Murphy

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.


Kimberly Hodnett

This was AWESOME!! Thanks so much! We wish it was next weekend too! Everyone had a blast! 🙂 Thank you!!!


Christy Smitherman

It's so much fun to see school buddies get the chance to play together! One of my favorite tourneys of the year.


Tracy Townsend

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!!


Jason Nelson

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!


Maria Olson

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!!


Dan Stillman

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.


Christina Hughes

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!


Chanda

Greg Burmeister

Great event and saw some wonderful softball this weekend. Would love to see it expand even more next year.

Paula Russ

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!


Traci Phillips

Son had a great time. Thanks MSM


Michele Tapp

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.
