Welcome to the Trout Park Invitational Tournament being hosted by the Trout Park Baseball program. Please consult the tournament bracket for exact dates and times. While we want and enjoy a competitive tournament it is important to remember that we are preparing these young men for high school, college or professional baseball in conjunction with life's future challenges. It is very important that coaches, umpires, tournament officials, parents and adult spectators all work in unison to send a positive message to the players. Please keep this in mind during the course of our tournament. All information is posted on our website at http://www.troutparkbaseball.org. If you have any other questions please contact me either by email at the website or at my phone number listed below. Trout Park will be the host field and most games will be played at this location. Games may be scheduled at other fields. Please refer to the tournament bracket for field locations and the website for directions. Admission to the baseball park is free. No batting practice is allowed at the Trout Park Baseball field during the Tournament. The Fox Valley Sports Academy has indoor batting cages and pitching tunnels if you wish to utilize their facility. They are located one block north of I-90 on the east side of Rt. 25. You can contact the FVSA at 847-622-8700. Special pricing is offered to those teams participating in our tournament. Infield warm-up is only allowed if a tournament director deems time is available. Once again, this is being done in order to complete the Tournament within the specified time allowed. No hard balls are allowed to be soft tossed against any of the fences but whiffle balls can be utilized. There are soft toss hitting stations in the corners of the park and can be used for warmup. If you have any questions or concerns prior to or during the Tournament, you can contact me on my cell phone number at 847/919-0831 or at Trout Park at 847/697-0540. In the event of rain or inclement weather, please contact me regarding field conditions. On behalf of Elgin Babe Ruth and Trout Park Baseball, we want to thank all the participants and we look forward to an enjoyable weekend of baseball. Let's hope the weather cooperates.
