If you missed the Tucson Winter Slugfest, you missed one of the most electric weekends of youth baseball to kick off 2026. 💥⚾

NCS Cafarelli brought the heat to Tucson for our first Tucson tournament of 2026, and it delivered in every possible way.

Twelve elite 13U teams showed up hungry, the competition was nonstop, and the energy never dipped. Crisp winter mornings gave way to perfect sunny afternoons, the fields were dialed in, and every game felt like a playoff matchup. From clutch hits to shutdown pitching, this was baseball done the right way.

Simply put: incredible facilities, top-tier competition, and a buzzing atmosphere made the Tucson Winter Slugfest a weekend nobody will forget.
