Round up your team of 4-5 players for our second annual Wilkinson Jr. High Baseball fundraiser on Saturday, February 8 starting at 1:30 pm (located on the Baseball field at Wilkinson Jr. High School). All teams are guaranteed a three-game minimum (3 innings/game) or nine innings total. Tournaments usually last 2 - 3 hours and all bats/balls are provided. Teams should arrive at least 30 minutes before start time and also bring their own tents, chairs, and a cooler with drinks. This tournament has limited space. First come, first serve! Online registration is required and all players must sign a waiver prior to participating (any players under 18 years must have a parent/guardian sign for them).

Proceeds benefit the baseball program at Wilkinson Jr. High out of Middleburg, FL. See photos from our previous fundraisers below and keep scrolling for rules and additional info about this one-of-a-kind upcoming tournament experience!

Our rules are similar to Baseball, just miniature! We play with the official Wiffle bat and ball, which is made of lightweight plastic.

Thanks so much for reading and we hope to see you there! For additional information about this event or others please email:

FAQ:

What are the rules?

Basically, we are playing miniature Baseball. Only 4 players on defense, pitch speed is limited, and fielders can throw grounders to the pitcher for the force play at 1B. We run bases and play pegs.

What should we bring?

The only think you NEED to bring is a team of 4 ballplayers. We provide all bats, balls and equipment. It is good idea for teams/players bring their own chairs, cooler and a tent. You are welcome to bring your own bat if you want, but it must be an official Wiffle bat (skinny yellow), and there can be no modifications to the bat other than grip tape. Molded cleats are ok, but no metal. Most people wear gym shoes.

What do the winners get?

Prizes include (but are not limited to) shirts, hats, apparel, merchandise, highlight videos and most of all… bragging rights. There is no cash prize.

Do we need to wear uniforms?

No, but they sure do look good. Players can dress as casually or as done up as they please.

How long does a tournament last?

Tournaments last just 2 - 3 hours. Depending of weather and, whether hitters are swinging or taking :)

How early can we arrive?

30 minutes prior to the start time for BP/check-in. If you want some swings, get there a little early.

How old do you have to be to play?

All ages are welcome with parental consent. Please indicate the ages of any players under 18.
