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 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.

We really enjoyed the MSM! It was a relaxing and fun change from our regular tournament play .
Connor loved playing baseball with friends from Scoggins Middle School !
The excitement of Middle School Matchup has intensified from year to year and the boys can't wait to play one more time before they start High School. MSM is truly a #happybaseball event.
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.
This was so much playing with kids from my school who I don't play with on my Select Team!
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 !
A great weekend and my son was extremely excited to play baseball with friends from school.
So fun to watch these boys get to connect and play together as a team with current teammates, former teammates, and new teammates. It was a great weekend!
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!
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.
Been playing MSM all through middle school. You guy’s always put on a great tournament and our son loves playing baseball with all his friends. Thanks again for another great season.
My son really enjoyed playing with his friends AND he says he learned some things from his coach. Great time all around
It was great to see all of my sons friends come together to play the game they love. They all play competitive baseball with different organizations and this gave them the oppourtunity to play together. It was awesome!
Great experience for my son. He enjoyed playing with the kids he will eventually play High School ball with. Well ran event!
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!
No better way in the DFW area for middle school boys to play together than at the MSM tournament.
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
Great experience for the boys!
My son had a great time! Great competition and a good opportunity to play with classmates and friends/future teammates. Your field manager at Breckinridge was a polite young man and hustled hard. Looking forward to future MSM events-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!
What a fantastic weekend! This was such a great way to meet new players and try new positions! Thank you for all that you do!!
Coached the Frisco Wester Wildcats for the past few seasons. This years tournament was extremely well organized, directed and officiated. Our boys had a blast playing with their classmates and against their fellow team members and opposing schools. Not sure who had more fun the boys or the coaches. Pictures with fellow classmates and league team members before and after games is priceless. Great job MSM!
First time this year playing MSM and my son had a blast ! He got to play with friends and other players he wouldn’t normally had played or played with and it was a huge confidence booster for my son as he had a challenging Spring 2021 Season. Looking forward to the fall MSM!
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!
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.
Just wanted to share with you what an awesome experience we had this weekend. The time spent getting to know the boys that are new friends to my son In middle school was amazing! Although our Downing Diamondbacks came up short today, the memories that were made will last a lifetime. What a great way for us as parents to get to know one another as well! Kudos to everyone who put this tournament together. It’s a great concept and a well run event. Thanks again for a great time. We will be back for our 7th grade year for sure!
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!
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.
I like the idea of this event since boys that play baseball are not really able to play on a "school" team together until High School. This allows that opportunity and my son had a great experience.
MSM puts on great events that allow for awesome school pride and relationship building among players!
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!
I heard my son and other players say”this is the most fun I’ve had playing ball with my classmates “!
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!
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!
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!

My kid had a wonderful weekend of stress free baseball and hanging out with new and old friends! We had a blast!
My son loved playing with the kids from his school! Great event!
This is our second year at MSM and my son enjoys playing with his classmates, it is a unique and super exciting experience. Thanks to those who make this an unforgettable experience, very good job. See you next year. Let's Go MSM !!!!
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.
It is great to have all the boys get to play together on one team! Making memories!
It's so much fun to see school buddies get the chance to play together! One of my favorite tourneys of the year.
I heard my player said he loved playing with kids from his school and from different teams. Over the past two years he has made more friends and has started to look forward to playing in the tournement every year.
Fun experience! Great way to meet other middle schoolers who love baseball prior to the first day of school.
What a great camp! My son said he loved the time with college coaches. The recruiting info sessions were great. The coaches were so patient and made the players and parents feel valued.
My son had so much fun playing with and against his school and regular baseball team buddies. It was a great time!
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....
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.
I wish I could be on two baseball teams, Dalllas Patriots and MSM Davis.
Well run organization.
This was the first year that we got to participate and we truly enjoyed the event. Thank You.
Great concept and lots of fun!
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.
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!
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!!!
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.
My boy loved coming to the metroplex to take on big schools! Loved playing with all of his classmates!!💙⚾️💛 They all LOVED it!
My son just loves being able to play with school friends and making new friends he had not met yet at school.
Great experience for everyone involved.
Very fun atmosphere getting to play with his buddies from school. Thank you for helping my son make memories he won’t forget.
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.
Awesome experience!
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!
Great way to get the boys together to build chemistry before they get to highschool.
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.
It was a memorable weekend with new friends. Kids has the great experience representing their school playing baseball.
My son had a blast, the fields were nice. Only suggestion I have is to have working scoreboards.
We had a great time playing MSM matchup. It was great to see my son and school mates gather to play the sport they love and represent their school.
My son had such a great time and made some new friends along the way! The coaches we had were great, they were very professional and positive. They made the experience fun and exciting for the kids and parents too!
My son has been playing baseball for the last 7 years, and I've never seen him so confident on the field or with his teammates! Playing the with his friends from school brought out a whole new side of him that I'm looking forward to watching in the more competitive games in future seasons. The night before the MSM tournament, I heard my son say, "This is going to be the most fun tournament ever!" Even though our boys didn't walk away champions, I still believe he was right. It was so fun!
This was a fun, fantastic, beautiful weekend. The facilities were great, schedules were well done and the boys had a great time! Thank you Sarah
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!
It was great getting the boys at our school together to play. They aren't always on the same teams, but they could play together, form new bonds and represent their school!
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.
My player said that he's never had that much fun playing baseball and has been in the sport since he was 4. He was so happy to be able to play with all of his friends, we'll be signing up for the next one!!!
Great tourney!!! Kids had a great time. well run, great kids, coaches and umps. Looking forward to next year!!!
Great family fun for all! It's heartwarming to see all of our middle school boys bond and get to play together. It's very uplifting and positive.
My son had a great time playing with his schoolmates
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!
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.
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 opportunity for schoolmates to interact and play together.
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!
The 2-day Summer Smash Tourney was a blast!
The 2-day Summer Smash Tourney was a blast! The boys were smiling all day! When we got in the car, my son said, “That was awesome! I’ve never had that much fun playing baseball!” It was great seeing the boys meet new friends, connect with old friends & become teammates!
"PLAYING WITH MY FRIENDS FEELS LIKE WE ARE WINNERS ALREADY "
Great event. Kid had a great time playing with class mates he would normally play against. Can’t wait for next year
My son has played baseball since he was 4 and he told me this weekend was his favorite weekend of baseball ever!
My children had an amazing time, thank you!
MSM, is one of a kind. More emphasis put on the fun of the game and not just taking home a trophy or ring at any cost. Thanks MSM
My player was in heaven playing with his 6th grade buddies - 13 boys from 8 different select teams - all came together to play 6 games over a fantastic weekend and ending up Finalists!
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…
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!
Great job to all involved in planning and executing the MSM tournament. Competition was strong and it seemed each team was having a blast! I wish some of the tournament circuits for select baseball could learn some of your efficiencies and practices. Well done!
What a great weekend! It was great to play with classmates of all different levels and meet new people.
Very informative for parents concerning college recruitment and preparation for the application process. Also, great for teaching the boys the college coaches expectations. My 12 year old son, Noah, enjoyed the specialized instruction from the Oklahoma State and University of Houston coaches during camp and said it was his favorite one day camp ever! We appreciate all of the coaches and staff that helped make this a successful event.
What a great experience for both myself and my son.
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!
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 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!
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.
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.
