hit as many homeruns as they can..
Drakes Creek Park will be open on July 4th at 9AM and this will be the start of opening ceremonies. During the day we will have food trucks, vendors, games, inflatables, skills competitions, music etc.
There is not a set time teams pin trade, teams can do it whenever this wish. Also, if you are signed up to participate in the skills competitions you can come as early as 9AM, they will be shut down at 2:30 PM regardless if there is a line waiting to participate or not. We have to stay on schedule so everything else is on time. The winners of the skills competitions will be announced at the Parade Of Teams.
At 3PM the Homerun finals will be held on field 3. At 4:30 PM the coaches meeting will be held at Taylor Swift auditorium at Hendersonville HS.
Teams need to arrive at the HS no later than 5:00PM, once there you will be instructed where your team needs to go. At 5:30 PM teams will start lining up for the parade of teams. Teams will walk around the football field, have their name called out and their picture will be shown on a video board.

SKILLS COMPETITIONS
Skills competitions will take place throughout the day. Once again, we will be having the Home Run Derby! Please start thinking of players (2) on your team who will want to participate. We will also have the team running relay (8 players/2 teams of four players) so be thinking about those players as well. We want these events to go as smoothly as possible so everyone will need to register prior to opening ceremonies (we will advise of the deadline date). We will make a "roster" of players competing with start times so the players will not have to wait in LONG lines! Keep checking for updates and emails for these events.....
PIN TRADING
Teams are encouraged to pin trade with other teams during opening ceremonies. We do not have a scheduled time for teams to pin trade, so teams are asked to trade with other teams on their own throughout the day.
PARADE OF TEAMS & THEME!
The Parade of Teams will be on July 4th at time at Hendersonville High School (which is walking distance from Drake's Creek Park. After careful consideration, we have decided to make the theme of this year's parade to be AMERICA! We felt that since the parade is on July 4th we would love to see a lot of RED, WHITE and BLUE! This is not mandatory but we are excited to see those of you who wish to participate!
GIFT BAG EXCHANGE
We recently reached out to all of the teams to determine which teams will participate in the gift bag exchange. Thanks to all of you that have responded! We have made this a "non-mandatory" event so we will need to know if your team is participating to make sure we match you with other teams that are. So, please let us know as soon as possible so we can make the gift exchange go smoothly! Go to the itinerary page for some ideas for your gift bags.
