Thank you very much for your interest in USA Baseball and the 2010 USA Baseball 16U Championships! The name is different but the quality of the tournament experience remains intact. The Junior Olympic brand spoke for itself as the premier 16U tournament each year since its inception in 1996. Through these Championships, USA Baseball will continue to provide an opportunity for 144 teams to showcase their ability against teams from all across the country as well as provide the exclusive opportunity for players to be considered for the 16U National Team.

The 16U Championship - West will be held in Peoria and Surprise, Ariz. (72 teams), and Palm Beach County, Fla. (72 teams) will again be the host for the 16U Championship - East.

In Peoria and Surprise, games will take place at the Peoria Sports Complex (Mariners and Padres) and the Surprise Recreation Campus (Rangers and Royals), a total of 20 available fields. The games for the 16U Championship - East event will again be held at the Roger Dean Stadium Complex (Marlins and Cardinals) and the Santaluces Complex (former spring training site of the Expos), for a total of 15 fields in Palm Beach County. As you may know, top-notch facilities help make the USA Baseball Championships a fantastic tournament experience.

The 2009 USA Baseball 16U National Team will once again be selected exclusively from the pool of more than 2,400 participants in the USA Baseball 16U Championships. The 2009 USA Baseball 16U National Team pool of candidates (36 total between both tournaments) will be announced on June 26. The final team will be selected out of the 16U National Team Trials to compete in the IBAF 'AA' Youth World Championships in Taichung, Taiwan later in the summer.
