Spring/Summer 13U/14U Tournaments at Marauder Park

[GTWHITECAPS]

With the Spring/Summer seasons just around the corner, I just want to remind everyone invloved with 13 Under and 14 Under baseball that Marauder Park in Lumberton will be hosting several tournaments throughout the season for 13 and 14 year old teams.  There are currently eight 13U tournaments listed and seven 14U tournaments listed starting in February and running until June.  Marauder Park is all the way down at the VERY end of Keith Rd. (Just take the Keith Rd. exit off Eastex Fwy headed toward Lumberton, turn left on Keith Rd. and continue down until the end) The men who run Marauder Park do an AMAZING job maintaining the facility and fields.  Both fields there have artificial grass infields (just like Vincent Beck at Lamar University) so rainouts are VERY unlikely.  But the best thing Marauder Park has to offer is the atmosphere.  After traveling around to several parks and complexes, there is not one place that compares to the atmosphere at Marauder Park.  The players and parents enjoy the feeling there that "Select Baseball" is not about making money but instead about giving youg atheletes an opportunity to play and develop at a high level in a good "baseball" environment.  If you do much traveling for baseball, there is nothing more frustrating than paying $500 to enter an out of town tournament and finding out that the field you have paid to play on does not have a working scoreboard, has an ant hill for a pitcher's mound, and when the field needs to be managed between games there is no Tournament Director to be found.  I assure this is not how things are handled at Marauder Park.  Whether it be the fully working scoreboard and well kept field/facilities, the hardworking people who run the park, the announcer and music being played over the loudspeakers during the game, or just the good family environment Marauder Park will remind you why baseball is America's Pastime.  All the tournaments are Nations sanctioned and can be found on their website: nations-baseball.com

Not to mention that the tournaments at Maraduer Park are only $338 per team compared to $500 per team at most other Nations tournaments.

Still need 2 13U teams for the Feb 6-7th tournament at Lumberton field to make. I know its super bowl weekend. The Tournament will be over with plenty of time to get home for the super bowl. It would be great warm up tournament. Go to the Nations Baseball site to register. The 13U tournaments are listed under Morgan Walkers tournaments at setxbaseballacademy
