🌎 Veteran’s Day Classic Tournament Recap
November 1–2, 2025 ⚾️
Copper Sky Park (Maricopa)/Valley Vista HS (Surprise)

What an amazing weekend of baseball! Our Veteran’s Day Classic was held at Copper Sky Park in Maricopa and Valley Vista High School in Surprise, featuring 34 teams across five age divisions.

This year’s event brought together 19 teams playing NCS for the first time this season — and even included an all-female 12u team, showing that baseball truly is for everyone! 👏💪

The weather was perfect all weekend long, the fields were in outstanding condition, and the food trucks in Maricopa kept everyone fueled up with great food and good vibes. The energy around the ballparks was incredible, with competitive games, great sportsmanship, and the true spirit of youth baseball on full display.
