Over the course of history, America has been steamrolled and changed many times over, but one thing has stayed the same...BASEBALL. If you build it, they will come.

The Mississippi Valley NIT is a great early tournament with high competition to get your team ready for the 2008 season.  This year, the tournament is during the weekend of April 25th and 26th, 2009 for ages ranging from 8U to 14U. 

  The Mississippi Valley NIT gives every team entered a  chance to receive high USSSA points for state and national tournaments and earn a national USSSA tournament bid.  The top two teams that have not yet received a national tournament bid will receive a bid to the largest and most competitive national tournament (USSSA). 

The tournament is hosted at some of the best complexes in the Quad City area.   Sheridan Meadows Complex in Eldridge, Iowa (just minutes north of Davenport, Iowa), Park View Water Tower, and the Heat Facilties in Davenport, Iowa.   Sheridan Meadows has 7 baseball diamonds, 2 with lights.  The facilities are really nice and the diamonds are perfect size for youth competitive baseball.  The 9u and 10u diamonds are 200 feet to the fences and the 12u diamonds vary between 230 and 270 feet. Diamond 2 and Park View will be used for the 13u teams.  These diamonds are just seconds away from each other.  The 14u group will use Jefferson Ballpark, a really nice and unique diamond for 14u teams. The Heat Complex is going to be for the 11u teams.  These diamonds are the ones that can be seen on this website above.  They are the top of the line diamonds.  There are only 12 teams limited to each age so enter early. (8 for the 14u group unless we can find another field)

 

 The 12u - 14u age groups are going to be AA / A only while the 9u - 11u are going to be open divisions & organizations that enter more than 1 team from an organization, remove $25.00 off the teams fee. (first team is still the original fee)
