This year’s tournament date is Friday, July 11th, and we have 32 teams along with using Kennedy Park, Mount Greenwood Park, and Beverly Park. At 7PM all games will be played at Kennedy Park. Pack your coolers, bring your family and head on up to the park for a fun afternoon/night of 16” Softball. Papa Hops will be smiling once again to see our community come together to support a great cause.
