Let's get this started.

Patriot Son will be playing with NCTB Stars. We are driving with another family. Packing all our gear. Let's hear from others that will be there. BTW any locals or veterans with good info on watering holes and BBQ near the fields your input would be appreciated.

Patriot we will see you there. Parking lot is huge and you can grill anytime except it is going to be really hot! Lots of establishments and hotels around the area complex so lot's of choices depending on your hunger. A favorite of mine is the Elephant Bar, There is a chick Fila for healthy fast food, Also a Cheesecake Factory and the 'Ol Hooters to get some of them wings!

Good luck to Patriot son..is he 1993/1994?
RR23Jr is a 1993 so this would be his last year doing this. Had a good time last year.

I also sent you a PM!

Patriot,

Plan for a great week of baseball. It is going to be hot. This will be our 9th year attend and the heat never seems let up. Plan on 105 to 112 heat. There is plenty around the fields in Peoria to eat and do. We stay in Glendale about 15 minutes away near the football stadium. Plenty to do there like the movies and eat. No outside activities only late in evening when it cools to chilly 95. Start the hydrating before you leave on the trip.

We will be there. Dman JR is playing with NorCal. He is a '94. He will be playing one of 5 positions on the field. Don't know yet which one or three. For eating, there are several places close to the fields. Typical chain restaurants. If your hotel is somewhere else, PM me, I can probably give you a few choices for food. The general rule is that there are tons of places to eat on Bell road. Go north from the field and then go east(right) on Bell. Tons of places. Desert Ridge is at 101 north and Tatum. Open air mall with some good choices.

There is a new water park that is close. Go up 101 to I-17N, exit Pinnacle Peak Road(west or left), go about 2 miles, it will be on your left. Fun way to cool down. If your kid is pitching against NorCal, I recommend going before the game. Big Grin

After a relatively easy 12 1/2 hour drive, we pulled in last night to our regular hotel down here. The weather is supposed to be relatively decent this year, expected highs in the 103-105 range till Wednesday when it is supposed to rise to 108 for the balance of the week. That's not too bad for Peoria.

We're looking forward to another great week of baseball. This is always one of our favorite tournaments of the summer.
O6 Catcher Dad,

So what team is your son playing with ? I know SGV Baseball,Patriot and Doughnutman's team. RR23Jr will be playing for SABA 520 ELite. Had a chance to play for Angels Amateur Program but circumstance did not allow it. I can only watch thru the weekend as I have some work. Hopefully meet you guys around the diamond. It's all good baseball pretty soon once we get to know the schedules tonight!

Like 06catchersdad we had a pleasant 12 hour drive to sunny AZ. Opening ceremonies were very special as Patriot Son and Warningtrack Son received their rings for '09 14u team USA. I got all of it on video. Soon to be on YouTube. Contratualtions to all the fine young men that represented us in Ecuador.

This is our first trip to the 16u Championships. What a great baseball venue. Seeing lots of guys that we have meet through the years and looking forward to meeting as many hsbbweb members as we can.

We are staying with a teammates family in Buckeye. Not too far and all the comforts of home.

What a display by the team anderson player winning the homerun derby with 4 BOMBS. I think he should get some respect at the plate this week.

Our first game went very well. 13-0 combined no hitter. Our guys threw strikes and put the ball in play at the plate. Our second game didn't go as well. We couldn't hold a 2-1 lead in the 6th.
