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!
Fantastic experience for our family, our son has played in this tournament two years in a row and this year was better than last year (which was great). I would highly recommend this tournament!!
My son has played baseball since he was 4 and he told me this weekend was his favorite weekend of baseball ever!
My boy loved coming to the metroplex to take on big schools! Loved playing with all of his classmates!!💙⚾️💛 They all LOVED it!
It was great to see the boys come together and play hard and create great memories
I signed my son up because he's entering middle school in the fall with hopes of him making new friends at his new school but noone else from his school actually signed up. So we got put on a team of random kids and the relationship evolved from acquaintances to best buddies over the course of the 3 days they were together. I highly recommend MSM since it was a fun memorable experience for my son and his teammates!
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.
One of the best tournaments all season! Can’t wait for next year
As always...Frankford Middle School had an awesome time.
What an amazing day playing in Middle School Matchup. These boys played hard, had fun and took home the championship in their bracket. Aside from playing well as a team there were some pretty spectacular moments. Sunday Game 1 a perfect game was pitched and the team scored 17 runs. Game 2 a shut out was pitched and the team scored 11 runs. Game 3 pitchers held the opponent to 4 runs the hit a walk-off three-run in side the park home run for a 5-4 victory. To say the day was exciting is an understatement. Classmates from various teams came together as one and memories were made. Had an absolute blast.
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.
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!
Very good tournament
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.
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 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.
Fun time for all! Grandson had the opportunity to meet and see friends that has teamed and played with in the past that attends schools different from him!
Very fun atmosphere getting to play with his buddies from school. Thank you for helping my son make memories he won’t forget.
I wish I could be on two baseball teams, Dalllas Patriots and MSM Davis.
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.
Son loved the tournament and the opportunity to play baseball with his middle school friends. Can’t wait to play again.
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.
Fun event!
What a great experience for both myself and my son.
A way for young men to play with new and old friends. Such a great community event!
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.
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!
Great experience, My son Noah had a terrific time. First time we were able to play as a unit with kids we've known for years and made some new friends. Great event Great people couldn't be happier. Thanks MSM
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Such a fun tournament! It was great to see kids and coaches from various schools cheering each other on. Such a positive , well organized and fun event! Well done!!
Great event for piers to have a chance to play together!
My son really enjoyed playing with his friends AND he says he learned some things from his coach. Great time all around
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 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!
Had an awesome time at Middle School Match up. It was lots of fun for the boys.
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!
No better way in the DFW area for middle school boys to play together than at the MSM tournament.
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.
Connor loved playing baseball with friends from Scoggins Middle School !
What a fun weekend orf bonding amongst classmates. Memories that will last a lifetime
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.
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.
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.
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.
We enjoyed watching our team play...we sustained an injury during practice so weren't able to compete but we enjoyed cheering our team on nonetheless. Great time...I'd recommend it to any middle schoolers wishing they could play baseball next year in middle school.
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!
Great to see kids of all levels coming together and having some friendly matchups!! Every kid I saw was enjoying the day!
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.
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!! 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!!
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!
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!
We love to see these talented kids come together to play baseball and represent their school.
Well run organization.
It was a great event and my 7th grade son enjoyed all the great instruction. The parents Q&A was informative. I would highly recommend it and we look forward to attending again in the future.
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.
I've had the pleasure of coaching the 6,7,and 8th grade Hudson GISD team the last 3 years. My son and his friends had an absolute blast and made some everlasting memories. This year was especially good because we won our bracket. Thank you again for putting on a great event for the kids. I will miss it next year for sure but we are on to High School baseball. Congratulations to MSM and their entire staff for another great season. Cheers!
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!
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!
Phenomenal event. What a great idea.
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!!!
What an amazing experience! MSM is run so well; so organized but with a great personal touch. The boys loved every minute of it! Thank you for a great weekend full of memories.
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!
Great experience for my son. He enjoyed playing with the kids he will eventually play High School ball with. Well ran event!
My son played MSM all three years of middle school. Great experience every year and wonderful memories made with classmates!
Great time for the boys
One of the best tourneys
My son had an amazing time playing MSM!! He was able to meet new teammates and have so much fun playing baseball! We all left with smiles and new friends!
It's just a great experience to see the boys get to play with their school buddies. There is no pressure and it is so much fun for them that I know they love it, and the memories they create will stick with them more than even the tourneys they play with their select teams. One suggestion, and no idea how feasible it would be, but I would love to see this more times throughout the year. I know all the select players have busy schedules, but I think you could do this kind of tourney a couple of times a year if you did it during the week. You can have the teams opt in from this weekend and play with the same roster and uni's, and you could do a couple of midweek tourneys throughout the spring. I know my boys would love it.
MSM is a great way to build community within school feeder patterns...and it’s a whole lot of fun too!
Had a great time and played competitive teams!
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!
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!!
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 son had so much fun even as a “free agent.” He said he learned so much from our coach and the other boys.
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.
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
My son said he had more fun this one weekend than he had all of his regular season combined! Thank you, Middle School Matchup!
My boy had fun the two days of the tournament. It was fantastic.
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.
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
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!!!
It was a memorable weekend with new friends. Kids has the great experience representing their school playing baseball.
Would highly recommend.
Awesome experience!
My son had so much fun playing with and against his school and regular baseball team buddies. It was a great time!
MSM is such a great, relaxed environment for the boys to get out and play with their friends from school! Job well done MSM!! #happybaseball
In one world, It's AMAZING. THANKS.
Fun weekend of baseball for my son! Since most of the guys play select/club ball it was great to see them all wearing the same jersey on the field (instead of competing against one another!!) and get a glimpse into his future HS team.
Fun experience! Great way to meet other middle schoolers who love baseball prior to the first day of school.
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 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.
I had one of the most gifted players I’ve ever seen at 12yrs old on my team that hit 3 home runs and struck out the side in 13 pitches this weekend...but to see him encouraging and rooting for some players that hadn’t played at the highest level of baseball, was refreshing and beautiful to see. Likewise, we had some very big hits and plays by some kids that may not play select or travel ball that only MSM affords classmates this opportunity. I think these boys will remember this weekend forever.
Great concept and lots of fun!
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!
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.
My Son went into the tournament with an arm issue and told by Doctors to not throw for 2-3 weeks. Richard, the coach of the Roach team allowed him to participate and be a part of the team. Richard kept my Son involved by allowing him to bat but not take the Field. My Son was extremely pleased to be able to participate on a limited basis and learn from a strong coach.
Great tourney!!! Kids had a great time. well run, great kids, coaches and umps. Looking forward to next year!!!
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.
