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!
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.
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!
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 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.
It was a great experience to play this tournament and see my son playing with his friends from school.
Great event for the kids and thank the coaches for all there work with the boys
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
The boys had so much fun! What an amazing experience
Rylan had so much fun. Playing against class mates in a fun setting was relaxing. Coach Pitts was excellent with his relationship to the team. Helped them enjoy the game even more.
Our kids had a blast. We had a combined team so they got to know other kids as well as play with their friends. It’s too bad this is just once a year! Will do again!
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.
Our son had a great time at MSM! He met new friends that he will know when he starts middle school in the fall. I heard my player say, "I can't wait to play in the fall!" Thank you MSM for making this a fun experience!!!
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!
Best youth baseball experience we’ve had in years.
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.
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 !”
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!
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.

This was AWESOME!! Thanks so much! We wish it was next weekend too! Everyone had a blast! 🙂 Thank you!!!
I loved the fact that kids from same school were able to play a sport they love
My son really enjoyed this tournament, it was so fun to play with his friends from school
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.
The boys had a blast playing and loved sporting their game shirts and hoodies at school!
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!
It was so much fun!!!
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 way to get the boys together to build chemistry before they get to highschool.
My son loved playing with the kids from his school! Great event!
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"
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!!!
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!
My son had a blast, the fields were nice. Only suggestion I have is to have working scoreboards.
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!
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!
Great experience for my son. He enjoyed playing with the kids he will eventually play High School ball with. Well ran event!
This was our first year playing MSM. It was a great experience & we will continue playing thru out middle school.
Great time awesome venue for the kids
Great experience for the boys!
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!
The kids really enjoyed this event, hope to participate again!
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!
My boy had fun the two days of the tournament. It was fantastic.
Great time!
Fun to see the middle schoolers play
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!!!!
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.
Phenomenal event. What a great idea.
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.
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!!
Our son was so happy to enjoy playing a weekend of baseball with his friends from school! The tournament was very well planned and we can’t wait for next year.
MSM does an amazing job. Boys had a ton of fun! We are looking forward to the winter tournament.
There are several benefits from playing in middle school match up. First, there is much more natural chemistry in the dugout than one that is forced when playing with kids from their school. The relationships between the kids are strengthening and those of the parents within the team and community. Typically our boys have played with select teams, and over the years, we have unfortunately switch teams for one reason or the other. It's so great that they can talk about these games at school. The only suggestion I would give is to have these matchups more often.
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.
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.
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.
This was such a great experience not just for our son but for us as parents as well. It was great to be able to play with kids we dont normally get a chance to play baseball with. The coaches were amazing and let the boys have fun, play different positions and enjoy the moment.
Great time for the boys
One of the best tournaments all season! Can’t wait for next year
My son had so much fun even as a “free agent.” He said he learned so much from our coach and the other boys.
We have two season of 6th grade MSM. It is a blast to see all our baseball friends and school friends come together (and play baseball)
My son had a great experience with MSM. He had a few friends on the team and also made new friends all while getting to play a super fun tournament. It was fun to see the kids try new positions and just have a good time.
MSM was a great experience! My son had so much fun playing with his school friends!
I heard several boys day they had lots of fun and really enjoyed playing with various kids at various levels of baseball. It also opened the door for our son to see what other opportunities are out there with regards to playing with kids from different organizations, although they'll be going to the same middle school. Thanks!!
Son loved the tournament and the opportunity to play baseball with his middle school friends. Can’t wait to play again.
This tournament is creating some of the best memories for these boys. They approach the weekend and the plate with a huge smile on their faces.
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!
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 and our family look forward to this tournament. It is so fun for him to get to play with his classmates. The atmosphere is fun for the whole family! The memories made are priceless!
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!
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!!!
Very good tournament
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!
Cool tournament!
MSM is such a cool tournament that gives classmates a chance to play with and against current teammates former teammates and other players they have played against.
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!!
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!
Everybody says that youth sports are supposed to be about fun…but we all know that the pressure to perform gets higher and higher the older these kids get. Especially playing on travel teams. This was an awesome experience where these kids just got to be kids and have fun without the pressure! We WILL be back for the next one for sure!!
This experience is just what my kid needed. We just moved here end of February from Cali. My kids had 5 days of school with their new school and then covid hit. They don’t know anybody. Plus my oldest (cayden who played MSM) just started JR high (6th grade) and it’s just been so difficult making friends. So playing on a team that consists of kids from his school was just what he needed. He had a great time and met some pretty amazing kids and parents. Plus the coach was absolutely amazing. My son did mention that he wished it was a longer event. Great job with everything and again thank you for the great memories!
All the reviews are correct- this was the best weekend of baseball!!
"That was fun!"
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 really enjoyed playing with his friends AND he says he learned some things from his coach. Great time all around
Great fun all about baseball 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!
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 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
I heard my son say it was so fun to play with his friends from school. I saw more smiles from him over the 2 days than I have in a while on the field, playing with school friends and against regular teammates.
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.
Had a great time!!! Fun to meet new people and see old friends!
My son had a great time playing with his schoolmates
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.
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!
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!
Son had a great time. Thanks MSM
What a great experience! Our junior high was the first ever from our district to participate in MSM. It was worth it! The boys bonded quickly like they'd played with each other for years. As the tourney went along they grew closer together. What great lasting memories for the boys and the parents!!!
My son just loves being able to play with school friends and making new friends he had not met yet at school.
The boys had a blast playing together with their school mates. I watched the boys bond closer together as each game went on. They all wore their jerseys to school on Monday and were high-fiveing each other in the hallway. Great experience for the players, coaches, and parents throughout the weekend. We can't wait to do it again next year!
This was our second time playing first time was last fall. The experience is great.It's so fun and it's nice that the boys get to interact with their schoolmates.
Awesome experience!
Middle School Matchup is a great event!!!!!!! My son’s 6th grade team won their bracket championship! This will be something my son and his classmates will always remember!!! We will definitely be back to play next year!
My boy loved coming to the metroplex to take on big schools! Loved playing with all of his classmates!!💙⚾️💛 They all LOVED it!
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.
