For the 10th consecutive year, we will be offering the CPYBL Preseason Shootout on November 16th and 17th in local area gyms for 3rd-6th grade boys and girls teams of all skill levels. This is a round-robin format (3 games) with no single elimination or bracket play. Cost is $60 per team + ref fees ($35 per game). Registration deadline is November 5th. We are looking for gyms to host this event so if you are interested, please email us and/or add gym time to your availability calendar on our website for that weekend.
In addition, we will also be offering the Amerileagues Preseason Athletic Tournament which is a 3 game guarantee single elimination tournament (2 pool play games followed by single elimination) on November 22nd-24th. We added this option in 2023 for 3rd-6th grade boys and girls athletic teams only. We will offer an A and B division for all grades (athletic C teams are welcome to register and play in the B division. Cost is $60 per team + ref fees ($35 per game). Registration deadline is November 12th. All games will be played at Elite Athletic Sports Complex and other area gyms.
Coordinators may sign up their teams when registering them for regular season play. We also have a registration page (linked pages earlier in this message) for non-CPYBL teams to register (or CPYBL teams whose organization is not handling their preseason tournament registration). If eligible, teams can play in both tournaments if they'd like.
