Need advise about Jupiter

If he has the chance to go...............GO. It is the premier event in HS baseball hands down IMHO. The atmosphere, great games, great players, and just the fun of the tournament are worth it. My son and I went there for 2 years while he played, and I went two years after that because of the event. You always hear the negative comments of a few, but, the postitives that the majority experience are what counts.

You have a PM

Clint Taylor, send me a pm, are you going with him? Is he traveling with a team or playing on a PG team?
I'll help you with some recommendations according to your reply.

The best players in the country are there. Scouts bounce between 12 fields on a fleet of 100 golf carts. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a D-whatever coach. The Fords and their folks are very nice. Go if possible.

I went two years before my son went. I went twice with him. And I will be going back this year. If you love baseball and you get the chance to go you need to go. It is simply awesome. Tremendous players , teams and atmosphere. Last year we lost in the round of 8 when my son hit a high fly ball to left field. Everyone in the stadium thought it was more than deep enough to score the winning run from third. The lf for the Tri State Arsenal throws an absolute missile to the plate nailing our runner on a bang bang play. We lost in extra innings. Awesome memories win or lose. And its a fact every coach from every school you can imagine will be there. Not to mention the professional scouts are there in droves. It simply is the best.

You need to go.....

I'll be there, My sons going with the Tidewater Orioles. I could use some info as well

ok so why doesn't everyone post the info they want or need here so we can answer.

What kind of info do you need? There are a ton of nice places to stay. A ton of nice places to eat especially right around the complex you will be playing at.

i live literally no lie 1000 feet from the fields this is hosted at Roger Dean Stadium backfields i love going and watching also they put the tourtment together so well and there is a ton of coaches and scouts and I will defiently go when it comes around late this month

Thanks for all the great feedback and pm's.
I was able to get a hotel and we are excited about the opportunity.
My son will be playing with his home team, Chain Baseball Savannah / Columbus Ga., he is a lefty pitcher and outfielder, Number 32 (Matt). Please say hello if ya' see him.
I would really like to meet other posters if you are going to the tournament. Let me know what team and how I might be able to ID you and I'll try to make as many of those games as possible.

Quite simply...

Jupiter is to HS baseball as Augusta is to championship golf.

If just doesn't get any better!

Sounds like fun if people go to watch other boys play. I turned down a PG invite for my l_ _ _ son.
For those of you with son's that really want to play, my hats off to you. Enjoy what little time is left.

I am thankful you did not ask for advice about Uranus.



(sorry folks...he teed it up and I laugh out loud every time Korheiser uses it on PTI...now back to your regularly scheduled serious thread.)

Congrats to your son and good luck to him.

Best place to eat is the Crab House in Jupiter right on Jupiter Inlet by the lighthouse. Make sure you stay sharp with lots of BP before you go, pitchers will have the upper hand. Don't park in a no parking zone you will get a ticket. Be sure to check the rosters for future stars to see play. We saw Tim Beckham lat year and it's no surprise he was the #1 pick. Dad04 has is right about swinging dead cats and hitting a coach or scout. I think a lot of coaches were there to make sure their verbal commits didn't make any last minute changes.

There is nothing else that compares to this event. My son is an '09 and he pitched on opening day last year when everybody is around 1 four spoke set of fields. In an area thats the size of an infield between the fields there were 150 pro and college scouts. If your kid has the chance to play its a must.

Couple of things, buy the unlimited pass and schedule. When your son has time off, bring him back to watch the top teams and players, this gives them a great idea of why they are top prospects. It's an eye opener. The back fields tend to get muddy if there is rain, so don't wear your best shoes AND bring an umbrella.
I am hoping that this year, with all the rain that we have had, PG gets a break and blessed with great weather.
There is a possibility that son may be coaching or scouting with a team, so I will be there everyday if he does. Hoping to meet up with some of the websters.

No apologies for the plagarism.

Ain't that the place just due east on the road at the south of the complex. Sit's right in with a bunch of boat slips, with a big glass west window?
