College Player Classic

The tournament that blends the youth baseball world with college baseball players.

Why choose College Player Classic?

#1:  Current college players in each dugout during each game.

#2:  Opportunity for college players to give back to the youth baseball community.

#3:  Youth players & college players make memories that will last a lifetime.

We’re not reinventing the game; we’re just adding a unique element to bring more excitement into the dugouts during the game.  Each game will be assigned two current college players, one in each dugout.  Each game you play, you will be paired with a different college player.  Our tournaments provide a one-of-a-kind experience, one that your players won’t ever forget.

Thank you for choosing to play in our tournaments.
