ITS HUMPDAY North Florida fam!!!
AND THAT IS REASON ENOUGH TO CELEBRATE๐
We need to take a moment to shoutout our Outstanding Player Award winner from our 2026 MEMORIAL SALUTE tournament this past weekend.
Our OPA process is simple. Each team gets 2 pool play games on Saturday, and every coach is asked at the end of pool play games to chose an athlete from the opposing roster to be nominated for this award. Coaches CANNOT vote for their own players. It keeps the voting unbiased๐โโ๏ธ
We then take all of the names, put them in a hat, โmix emโ up real goodโ (like Chris likes to say), and draw a random winner to take home a BRAND NEW WILSON A2000 GLOVE!๐คฏ
This is something we get to do for our community as a way of giving back, and investing in their development in the game they love to play.
This award means a lot to our team and mission as tournament directors. And we always want these young athletes to know that every aspect of their game matters: physically, mentally, and emotionally!
Last weekโs tournament OPA WINNER wasโฆ๐ฅ

PATTON PITTS๐ฅณ๐๐ผ๐๐ช๐ผ
Congratulations to Patton and all of our nominees for their hard work, grit, performance and sportsmanship.
While the way they play the game typically wins them this award, the way an athlete carries themselves through the game matters just as much: showing good sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership, rally and grit, and respect for the game, their coaches, officials and opponents. ๐ซก
We give this award at every single tournament we host, and one of your athletes could be next! ๐
Join us on the weekend of May 30-31st for our STARS AND STRIPES๐บ๐ธ๐ ring tourney and see if one of your athletes get nominated and maybe take home a brand new Wilson A2000 Glove! ๐คฉ
