Dear Coaches:

 

This is an invitation to our 9th Annual Pittsville Small Town Invitational Baseball Tournament.  For the past seven years we have ran a very successful and competitive tournament for teams from small towns around Wisconsin.  It is open to all school districts with a High School (9-12) population of 650 or less, which includes all division 3 and 4 and most of division 2 high Schools in the state. 

 

Our main emphasis is that we offer a tournament that is competitive to all teams that enter.  All players must be from the same school district that they represent in the tournament.  The roster must consist of players that are currently in the 8th grade (2007-2008) or younger. No High School Players.  We have two excellent full size baseball fields in Pittsville, plus, if needed a third field in Babcock.  All have bathrooms and concession stands.  At Pittsville, there are full playgrounds for children located near the fields.

 

The dates will be June 14 and 15th, 2008 and our cost is $75.00 plus one Babe Ruth baseball or better grade.

 

Pittsville is located in the exact center of Wisconsin, 15 miles from both Marshfield and Wisconsin Rapids.  For the out of town teams, both cities have numerous hotels.  We also have two county parks with full facilities (showers, camping, swimming etc.) both six miles from town.  For camping reservations call 715-421-8422 M-F 9AM – 3PM.
