Seventh Annual Spring Training Goodwill Tournament

Wooden Bat: January 15-18, 2009

Metal Bat: January 22-25, 2009

Ed Smith Stadium Complex

Sarasota, Florida

    Imagine having your own spring training at a different major league spring training baseball complex each year.  Playing on the same fields as the Pros a few weeks before they arrive, daily doubleheaders to tune your skills, catered lunches by the same people used by the Pros, and sunny 80 degrees days.  Beats the frozen north in January!

    We are proud to announce our Eighth Annual Baseball International Spring Training Goodwill Tournament is now open for registration.  Our Thursday through Sunday tournament will consist of players from all over the country (and hopefully a few from around the world) traveling to a major league spring training complex stadium for a long weekend of games, sun, and family fun. And in 2009, we will once again be offering both a metal bat and a wooden bat tournament.

    Come as a player or as a group wanting to experience international baseball camaraderie.  The tournament championship game will be held in the main stadium where you will enter baseball immortality by leading your team to victory!  Or at least that's what you will tell your friends.

              In 2009,  we'll be playing at the Ed Smith Stadium complex in Sarasota, the spring training home of the Cincinnati Reds.  We'll play games in the main stadium and side fields leading up to the championship game on Sunday morning.  Our Spring Training Tournaments  use international goodwill rules (no passed balls or stolen bases), but Metal Bat Tournament  teams have the option of playing full rules baseball.

     What's included in the tournament registration?

    Teams will be dressed in an all star format with each player bringing  his favorite uniform from his home country.  Each team will consist of around 12/13 players mixed to achieve a competitive balance. Players are responsible for bringing their own uniforms, gloves, and  bats.  Our tournament schedules will be as follows:

Spring Training Wooden Bat Tournament

 All of the Spring Wooden Bat Tournament games are goodwill games with no stealing or stolen bases.

Spring Training Metal Bat Tournament

    For the Spring Training Metal Bat Tournament, games may be full rules of baseball as long as both managers agree before the game starts else goodwill rules will apply.
