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!
Our team had a blast regardless of only winning one game, alot of memories were made!
This was our first experience with MSM and we loved every part of it from the ease of signing up, the great communication before and during the tournament, and the experience our son got to play with his school friends and compete at a high level.
What a great idea and a lot of Fun. Maybe need another one in the Spring also???
My son had an absolute blast at MSM! What a great way for these kids to get together and just have fun! We will definitely participate again in the future.
Very good tournament
MSM does an amazing job. Boys had a ton of fun! We are looking forward to the winter tournament.
It was a blast! The kids had an amazing time.great experience for the middle school kids.
Great event for piers to have a chance to play together!
What a great platform for all of the young baseball players to come together and play with and against each other. We had a great time, my son had a great time! Looking forward to the next one!
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.

Our kiddos had the best time. They played against friends so of course that was the best! Our 6th graders that represented EMS-Creekview School took the Championship! Can’t wait for next year..
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!
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.
Awesome weekend! My player had a blast playing with his friends from school! He made some lasting memories!
We didn’t win, but our group of guys, that represented almost as many teams as players, had so much fun together! Kicking off Middle School right! We’ll definitely try to play again!
Fun event for the kids
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!
Had a great time playing on a team with guys I typically play against!
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.
The boys had a blast playing and loved sporting their game shirts and hoodies at school!
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.
This was our first year playing MSM. It was a great experience & we will continue playing thru out middle school.
Great experience all around! We had so much rain in the forecast but the MSM team made it all work and the boys did not lose any games. My son said it was the most fun he’s ever had at a baseball tournament since he got to play with all of his middle school friends and can’t wait for next year!
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.
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!
So much laughing and excitement!
I loved how my son had fun with his team. I heard so much laughing and excitement from the duggout
Awesime
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!
Fun, hope to participate again soon. Boys were very excited to play with their friends.
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!
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!
Highly recommend MSM! Just 1 weekend a year to play with your buddies and multi-level players, all while representing your school! Reinforces the meaning of teamwork and helps develop relationships.
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.
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
Both our boys had a great time playing. It was a great event and they love playing with their school. Thank you.
Middle School Matchup was a wonderful experience for my 6th grader. I am so thankful he got the opportunity to participate in this event. He got the opportunity to play with other kids from his middle school that he has not played with before and he loved it. MSM does an outstanding job making this event fun, competitive, and memorable! #happybaseball
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!!!
This was the most fun tournament we have been in because it’s schools all around the area where kids represent their actual current school. We can wait to do this again.
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.
Very fun atmosphere getting to play with his buddies from school. Thank you for helping my son make memories he won’t forget.
My son had a blast, the fields were nice. Only suggestion I have is to have working scoreboards.
My boys look forward to this every year. Win or lose it’s the most fun weekend of baseball at this age.
It was great experience to represent your area and school. The boys really enjoyed it and I wish every kid gets a opportunity to play the best game for there favorite school. I can’t wait for the next tournament.
A way for young men to play with new and old friends. Such a great community event!
My son has played baseball since he was 4 and he told me this weekend was his favorite weekend of baseball ever!
Thank you all for organizing his event! My son had a great time and I learned a ton of valuable information. As a parent of a young athlete there are so many aspect of the progression of this sport that I simply don’t know how to navigate, especially going into High School and College. It’s such a relief to have this time to ask face to face real questions from those who know the best answers, even to the questions I hadn’t thought of. Thank you again for being the light on our path.
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.
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.
We love to see these talented kids come together to play baseball and represent their school.
After our last MSM tourney, our kids asked if they could make a select team and continue playing together.
What a great weekend! The weather could not have been more perfect and the boys had a great time! All the fields were in great condition and everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy baseball! Thank you for all the hard work put into having such a great weekend of baseball.
The MSM tournament was a great way for my son to make some new friends in advance of the first day of school. It was also a good opportunity to get acquainted with some of the new parents. Highly recommend!
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 boy had fun the two days of the tournament. It was fantastic.
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!
Middle School Matchup was an amazing event. Seeing the boys bond was fantastic. Although they are all so competitive, it was a great time for them to relax and just enjoy playing the game they all love with friends. The officiating was truly the best we have had and we have seen a lot of officials. Thank you MSM for a terrific weekend.
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.
I have a 6th grader and a 7th grader that both played in MSM this past weekend and they had a blast! When I asked them if they'd like to play in this tournament again it was a resounding "YES"!!!!! Thanks for all the hard work you all put into organizing this event!
He had the best weekend playing with his buds!!
My son had a great time playing with his schoolmates
It was great to see the boys come together and play hard and create great memories
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.
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 my son. He made new friends and played alot of quality baseball. We're certainly all in for next year.
I wish I could be on two baseball teams, Dalllas Patriots and MSM Davis.
Great event and saw some wonderful softball this weekend. Would love to see it expand even more 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 !!
My son had so much fun playing baseball and running into old friends/teammates. Will definitely sign up again and help spread the word!
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!
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!
Brings out their sportsmanship, kindness and the spirit of baseball. I love it!
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!!!!
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!
Middle School Matchup weekend was an awesome experience for my 6th grader. It gave him a chance to play baseball with all of his friends who are on different teams and he had a great time. We will be back next year for sure!
My children had an amazing time, thank you!
MSM brought the boys together to get to know each other better and have great memories and so much fun!
Awesome experience for the kids! Everyone is there to have fun, including umpires and coaches. Will play again next year
This was so much playing with kids from my school who I don't play with on my Select Team!
Great experience for our rising 6th grade 11u champions!
Connor loved playing baseball with friends from Scoggins Middle School !
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!
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!
My son and his friends had the time of their life getting to play together on a team! So fun - thanks for a great tournament!
Great experience for my son. He enjoyed playing with the kids he will eventually play High School ball with. Well ran event!
This is a special event. Our boys had a wonderful time and could not recommend this enough.
Fun event!
Great fun all about baseball experience!
Many of the boys on my son’s middle school team are kids that he had played against in rec ball. It was nice to finally meet some of them and their parents that we had sat across from for many years.
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 played MSM all three years of middle school. Great experience every year and wonderful memories made with classmates!
The coaching was great, the competition level was adequate and overall we had a great weekend of baseball. I look forward to participating this coming school year.
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!
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 is in 6th grade and younger then his school classmates. Most of them play a year older then he does in local baseball. He loved being able to finally be able to play on a real team with his buddies and had a blast.
Really enjoyed it! Great staff and easy to chat with.
The boys had such a great experience at the Middle School Match Up! We can’t wait till next year! 😁
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
My son had a great time meeting new boys from his school & playing with some buddies he doesn’t usually get to play with! He is already looking forward to next year!
This is our 2Nd year to do this tournament. It has been great both years. Well organized and good competitive teams.
Very fun event for the kids.
Our son has played in 2 tourney's now and has a great time! We enjoy seeing old friends from old teams! The MSM group is really great, and it's awesome to know some of this benefits others! The local schools need to do a better job of promoting though, we only learned about it from our regular team coach and had to scramble some at the school by word of mouth through the kids- This is a GREAT opportunity for the kids to make school friends for years to come that they otherwise wouldn't be able too! looking forward to continuing!
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.

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.

"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.

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.
