Plan for tomorrow is to find somewhere to fish and go watch the big boys Duke it out in the ship. Make sure you check the weather and pack clothes accordingly. I've bee cold all week! Lol Autum cafe has a solid breakfast, the depot has the best wings I've ever had, and Brooks BBQ is very decent as well. Hall of Fame is a must do and there is a little grill(backyard I think?) there with amazing hotdogs. While in Cooperstown bring the boy to Cooperstown Bat company and get him a customized wood bat. Sweet bats and great prices. If you go in with 3 other people the price per bat is really cheap. Be prepared to have a blast and this country is beautiful. Good luck to you guys!
Any tips for the boys/coaches in the barracks? We have a lot of parents concerned about what to bring and not bring.

Most of our parents bought cheap bedding at Walmart here so they didn't have to pack it. They'll need alittle spending money for snacks/arcade. Some of them will need phones so you can coordinate when you'll pick them up etc. Parents have NO access to the dorms after you drop them off. Lable EVERYTHING your kid brings. No food or drinks in the dorms, but we snuck them in and the kids kept them under one of the beds. Lol There will be times they won't be able to hit the cafeteria because of game times and they'll be starving. We just ordered pizza or brought burgers and they came up and ate. There is a pool, but our coaches did not allow swimming but yours may so bring swim suits. In the 50's here most of the week so wasn't an option to swim anyway. Other than that just bring normal toiletries. Off topic but talk the parents into buying the photo package offered by the park. They do a fantastic job and you'll have 2000-3000 pics of the players by the end.

I will be playing nations next year every tournament sick of the USSSA crap. They have gone down hill and play on junk fields the last couple years.
However, for the last few Baseball USA tournaments, we have been stuck at the West Little York fields which are total crap.

Our 7u team played on big field due to an 11u tournament that was there also with more teams. They didn’t want to move bases and mound constantly and it has lights. After every game they rake water re stripe everything. The fields are as nice as ranger stadium. Only problem with big field with 7/8u was if it got past outfielder it was a track meet and ended up with a home run almost every time. If we could play there every weekend we would
