Over the course of this high-energy 4th of July weekend, 64 incredible teams battled it out across six age divisions (9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, and 14U) at Settler’s Park, Willow Lane, and Capital High School. We had 53 teams compete in 2024.

🔥 The competition was fierce and fun as we crowned 12 champions and finalists, awarding custom team rings and medals to recognize their outstanding efforts. We also honored 142 "Player of the Game" winners, many of whom were treated to a free personal pizza from our amazing sponsor, Uncle Bob’s Pizza—because nothing says "MVP" like a victory slice!

🎆 In celebration of Independence Day, we offered discounted tickets to the Boise Hawks game on July 4th, making it the perfect fit to a weekend full of home runs, hustle, and heart.

👕 And for those wanting to remember the weekend, we had exclusive Firecracker Classic apparel on sale, helping players and fans take home a piece of the action.

This tournament was more than just baseball—it was about team spirit, community, and creating lasting memories. A huge thank you goes out to all the players, coaches, families, volunteers, sponsors, and venue staff who helped make this event such a success. Your energy, sportsmanship, and support made the Firecracker Classic shine brighter than ever.
