Description

The parade starts Saturday, March 1st at 12 PM.  City of Tempe, TSLL, and other VIPs will all be participating. TSLL recommends you arrive by 11AM as parking fills up quickly and to check out Silent Auction and vendors before the ceremony.  There is overflow parking just north of Carver road by the dog park.   Players are to line up with their teams behind field 7 at 1145am. 

 At 12pm, each team/coaches will be announced and “run” around the outside of the bases (on the grass) starting with T-Ball first, AA, AAA, Minors, Majors, Juniors, and Umpires. Teams will be seated on the grass, not on the dirt!    

After the parade, but before the first game, which starts at 1:30PM, all ballplayers can get a FREE hot dog, chips, and a drink! (Looking for Sponsor for food for all the 400 youth athletes)

Team fundraisers will be going on - a dozen baseballs can be donated to your player’s team - team with the most balls donated gets preferred reservations for practice fields.  

There will be games all day and evening long.  There will be food trucks on site all day.

Bring chair and tents.

 We will be having used gear for sale (bring items to donate or shop for that belt you still need), t-shirts for sale, pre-order t-shirt pick up, home run derby, silent auction, vendors, and league games will start at 1:30pm

Dress in full uniform, no cleats.

Bring team banner with carabiner clips to clip to back of fence; remove and run out with them when team name is called. Clip throughout season on your dugout side!

Play Ball!
