🎁⚾️ Toys for Tots High School Tournament Recap ⚾️🎁 📅 12/20–12/21/25 📍 Arizona Athletic Grounds What an incredible weekend of baseball and giving back! We had 26 teams compete across five divisions — 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, and Upperclass (17/18U) — all coming together for a great cause. The Toys for Tots Tournament delivered exactly what its name promised — a true kickoff to winter baseball, done the right way. Arizona Athletic Grounds provided the perfect backdrop for a fantastic weekend of baseball in the East Valley. From crisp winter mornings to sunny afternoons, the weather cooperated beautifully, and the fields at AAG were in outstanding condition all weekend. Great facilities, strong competition, and high energy made this event one to remember. Thanks to the generosity of our players, families, and coaches, hundreds of unwrapped toys, including several bicycles, were donated to help kids in need this holiday season. 🎄❤️👏 Special recognition goes to the Vail Lightning 15U, who led all teams with 32 toy donations. As a thank-you for their donations, they’ve earned 50% off a future NCS Cafarelli event (excluding Spring Training). We truly appreciate everyone who donated and helped make a positive impact in the community. This is what youth and high school baseball is all about — competition, character, and giving back. 🏆 DIVISION CHAMPIONS & FINALISTS 🏆 ⚾ 13U DIVISION: 🥇 Champion: Copa Chaos Copa Chaos went a perfect 4-0 on the weekend, defeating Xtreme Heat for the second time to claim the championship. 🥈 Finalist: Xtreme Heat Xtreme Heat went 2-0 on Saturday before dropping a tight 10–7 pool game to Copa Chaos, earning the #2 seed and a rematch in the finals. ⚾ 14U DIVISION: 🥇 Champion: AZ Outlaws The Outlaws dominated the division, finishing 4-0 and outscoring opponents 44–12, including two wins over Birdgang Baseball. 🥈 Finalist: Birdgang Baseball After splitting Saturday games, Birdgang earned a dramatic 9–8 comeback win over AZ Nitro to reach the championship. ⚾ 15U GOLD DIVISION: 🥇 Champion: Rebels Red Rebels Red battled through a tough weekend, highlighted by a 9-run final inning comeback to reach the finals before defeating Phoenix Phillies 5–2 for the title.
