• Opening Ceremonies- Meet and greet families from across the United States who choose to share their holiday season building relationships and learning as much as possible in regards to the journey of a baseball player who aspires to play in college or professionally.
• Sports Testing- If You Are Not Testing...YOU ARE GUESSING!   Sports testing is critical to identifying where a player is and enabling the ability to influence the direction they are going.  Multiple tests will be administered and each player will know exactly where they stand and what they need to work on next.
• Professional Instruction- Professional Instructors who are experienced at taking Sports Testing data and applying sports conditioning solutions will assist in making sure proper progressive instruction is provided and enabled through the mobile applications so each player has the resources to reference in order to grow.  Individual and group settings targeting specific areas of need introduce the sequence and progressive application of instruction making sure each player does not miss a step that would be critical to their growth.
• Professional Speakers- Professional Speakers will elaborate on topics that are meaningful to players and families while being a part of the group accessible to all in order to really build bonds and relationships that yield trustworthy guidance.
• Team Building- Learning how to become a good teammate and learning competitive adaptability is essential to success and reaching full potential. This experience enforces team building activities and social aspects that create a positive environment for support.  This support carries over beyond this event and is leveraged for the future as families build lifelong bonds and become a part of the Stars and Stripes Sports family.
• Relaxation and Fun- It is mandatory to have fun as this is a very happy place and environment.  You will be required to "live a little"!  We will have activities such as playing Wiffle ball games but will allow the families to enjoy the resort to play some golf, tennis, volleyball, basketball, etc. or just hang out poolside.
• Draft- We will "draft" players onto teams based upon all in attendance so the players can begin to bond with their teammates and compete in games.  This process is pretty simple and is dependent upon how many people attend the event and what ages the players are. It could be possible that we ask a player to play up in age if necessary. We will put teams together in a manner that will be best for all parties asking each player to focus on being a good teammate.  The value of this event is to see how the players perform when "out of the norm".  This is not a typical tournament event and it is powerful to see the players apply skills and get out of their box.
• Games- Players will be placed on teams and will compete in games at the Sid Lickton Sports Complex and surrounding fields as necessary based upon the total number of players and teams attending.  Stars and Stripes Sports pioneered the process and has proven the ability to provide meaningful competition that brings the best out of each player focusing on the development aspect of the event. There will be a 4 game guarantee (weather permitting).  We have never been rained out of a tournament int he past 10 years and recognize bad weather could cause some changes that would have to be managed while at the event.
