JOIN US FOR PLAY BALL WEEKEND AT SPORTSCORE ONE IN ROCKFORD THE WEEKEND OF APRIL 26TH-27TH.

Sportscore One in Rockford offers 8 well-maintained, lighted fields in a great setting.  Located along the banks of the Rock River, with a large bass pond sitting between the 2 quads, makes for a great place to spend a weekend.  Be sure to bring your fishing pole.  Full concessions, great staff, and a great setting for a baseball tournament, make this location a must each summer.

All teams play 2 pool play games on Saturday with Championship Bracket play beginning on Sunday.  We try to avoid consolation games whenever possible, but some age levels for some tournaments may have consolation games.  Teams can play up to 5 games total in this tournament.

2025 is our 20th year offering the best youth baseball tournament experience in the Midwest.  Between Wisconsin and Illinois, nearly 1,300 teams played in our tournaments in 2024 and we are expecting 1,600 in 2025. 

In advance of each tournament, our customer service department will be here to assist you as needed.  During your tournament, our on-site Tournament Director will be happy to answer any questions you may have. 

We do not charge admission fees or gate fees, no additional or hidden costs to play in any of our tournaments.  We have no special bat requirements or additional affiliation fees required.  All of this makes us a great value! 

Our best in business website makes following our tournaments easy.  All insurance and waiver/roster requirements are done online, to make that process as convenient as possible. 

We have high-quality umpires, with over 800 potential umpires that officiate our tournament games, no inexperienced or unqualified volunteers calling balls and strikes at our tournaments.

Coming from far away and need a place to stay, check out our Discount Lodging section.  We have worked with local hotels/motels in the areas we offer tournaments to provide our teams discounted pricing.

We take the vetting process very seriously, creating competitive, well-balanced tournaments that win or lose, make for a great experience.  Learn more about our vetting process and how we stand out on our home page.

You also do not need to worry about any of our tournaments being canceled last minute due to lack of teams.  The great overall experience we provide, along with very reasonably priced tournaments, make us a great value.  Most of our tournaments sell out, often before the snow melts.  So don’t delay, register today!

Check out all the great feedback we have received regarding our tournaments on our home page.  See why we are the Midwest’s Premier Provider of Youth Baseball Tournaments.

THIS IS A B LEVEL TOURNAMENT.

The top 20%-40% of all teams at each age level would be considered B teams

Teams that most would describe as above average, good, solid, competitive teams would be considered B level teams. Some examples would be: A good but not elite tournament-only team. Most teams that play in the B or second level of their league. Most academy's third best team, sometimes their second or even their fourth.  Little League All Star teams would also generally be considered B level teams. In general, the top team or two from a good, but not elite organization that holds tryouts and promotes competitive play.

Hope you decide to join, and you will see what thousands of teams already know, we offer the best youth baseball tournament experience in the Midwest.
