We completely lost College of Wooster tomorrow because the college team is now not leaving until Sunday and needs the field the whole day.

12u at Sportzone we moved your field to the Masserelli Complex.

14u at Wooster College we moved your games to Early morning at Sportzone. Everything is updated. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hey Everyone,

The City of Akron has informed us of some complex specific protocols and updates. Please see below.

1) The water has not been turned on and they have provided porta pots.

2) Hitting nets are NOT to be used on the field. They have batting cages beyond the outfield fences or set up hitting nets beyond the outfield fence.

3) ALL Pitchers should warm up in the bullpen area. Not in foul territory down the lines.

4) When warming up before games, make sure to do that in the outfield.

Thank you for following the complexes protocols.

A couple things have happened.

1. Lousiville HS had to schedule a jv game, all games are moved to the HS field at the Masserelli Complex.

2. College of Wooster, the college team was going to leave Friday they are leaving Saturday now. They need the field to practice in the morning, so we have later games at the College of Wooster because of that.

Thank you for your understanding.

We understand it is supposed to rain this weekend. We are on turf and have been through similar situations before. We are just going to have to show up and try to play the games. If you dont see a message on here about your field being canceled or delayed please do not text us. If there isn't a message on here your game will be on time. Thank you

Good Morning,

The Schedule will be released Tuesday evening. Everyone should expect to play Friday evening and some may even play both pool play games Friday. This event was in higher demand than normal years and to get everyone on turf, this was the best way to do it. Thank you.
