INAUGURAL TUCSON TOYS FOR TOTS (TUCSON, AZ) - NCS CAFARELLI - 12/6-12/7/25

🎄⚾ INAUGURAL TUCSON TOYS FOR TOTS TOURNAMENT RECAP ⚾🎄
📍 Mike Jacobs Sports Park | Tucson, AZ
📅 December 6–7, 2025

The Inaugural Tucson Toys for Tots Tournament was a huge success, bringing together competitive baseball and a powerful community mission at Mike Jacobs Sports Park. Over the weekend, 19 teams across the 12U, 13U, and 14U divisions took the field, competing with intensity, sportsmanship, and purpose.

Teams battled through a full slate of games, delivering exciting matchups, clutch performances, and championship-level effort throughout the event. From dominant pitching to timely hitting, the level of play reflected the hard work these athletes and coaches have put into their seasons.

Beyond the competition, the tournament showcased what youth baseball is all about—bringing families, teams, and the Tucson baseball community together for something bigger than the game - and the opportunity to donate presents to those less fortunate during the Holiday Season. The energy around the complex was outstanding, and the support from players, coaches, and families helped make the inaugural event one to remember.

We would like to thank all 19 teams, coaches, players, families, and our staff for helping set the standard for what we expect to be a growing annual tradition in Tucson. With strong competition and a great atmosphere at Mike Jacobs Sports Park, the Tucson Toys for Tots Tournament is off to an incredible start.
