Parents and Players Love MSM!
With it's unique format, it's really hard to beat a fun MSM weekend. Check out what parents and players have sent us. We have 100s and 100s of these. Just hit refresh to see more!
What a great weekend of baseball! I really had no idea what to expect but since I coached a lot of these kids, who have since gone their separate ways with different baseball organizations, I thought it would be a lot of fun to get the group back together. We had a great time reuniting and added a number of new faces as well. Our goal was to have fun (and we did) but I was pleasantly surprised by the extremely high quality of baseball. Can't wait to do it again next year!
It was great experience to represent your area and school. The boys really enjoyed it and I wish every kid gets a opportunity to play the best game for there favorite school. I can’t wait for the next tournament.
Both our boys had a great time playing. It was a great event and they love playing with their school. Thank you.
My boys look forward to this every year. Win or lose it’s the most fun weekend of baseball at this age.
Fun time for all! Grandson had the opportunity to meet and see friends that has teamed and played with in the past that attends schools different from him!
Son loved the tournament and the opportunity to play baseball with his middle school friends. Can’t wait to play again.
This tournament was awesome! My son Micah made new friends and got a renewEd love for the game. We are now looking for a more competitive team to be on after getting feedback from other coaches on his talent level. He also got to play some different positions and is now in love with first base. Thank you - you guys did an amazing job and look forward to next year!
My player said that he's never had that much fun playing baseball and has been in the sport since he was 4. He was so happy to be able to play with all of his friends, we'll be signing up for the next one!!!
it is great for the kids that don't play on the same team but go to the same school to play together !! the only thing that is disappointing is stacking teams with all great talent !!
Awesome event. Thank you.
Middle School Matchup is a great event!!!!!!! My son’s 6th grade team won their bracket championship! This will be something my son and his classmates will always remember!!! We will definitely be back to play next year!
I've coached youth baseball for 10 years. The MSM tournament was unlike any other tournament I've been a part of. My team was full of school pride playing for their middle school! I strongly recommend MSM!
I heard my player say, “I wish this was the team I got to play with all the time.” My son loved the opportunity to get to play with his school classmates. Such a great bonding activity for the boys. It’s such a bummer middle schools don’t offer baseball when there are this many boys who want to play!
My player was in heaven playing with his 6th grade buddies - 13 boys from 8 different select teams - all came together to play 6 games over a fantastic weekend and ending up Finalists!
All the reviews are correct- this was the best weekend of baseball!!
MSM does an amazing job. Boys had a ton of fun! We are looking forward to the winter tournament.
Great event! Lots of fun.
Our son was so happy to enjoy playing a weekend of baseball with his friends from school! The tournament was very well planned and we can’t wait for next year.
On the drive home I asked my son if he enjoyed playing with his future classmates. He responded “This is the most fun I’ve ever had playing in a tournament.” He also told his grandmother the same thing later. He had six of his select baseball teammates playing for their respective middle schools and it was a fun and wonderful experience to cheer on our current teammates and get to know our future classmates/teammates.
It's just a great experience to see the boys get to play with their school buddies. There is no pressure and it is so much fun for them that I know they love it, and the memories they create will stick with them more than even the tourneys they play with their select teams. One suggestion, and no idea how feasible it would be, but I would love to see this more times throughout the year. I know all the select players have busy schedules, but I think you could do this kind of tourney a couple of times a year if you did it during the week. You can have the teams opt in from this weekend and play with the same roster and uni's, and you could do a couple of midweek tourneys throughout the spring. I know my boys would love it.
The level of competition was incredible. The event was very well run and the communication was also second to none. My son loved the school gear and having the opportunity to play baseball for his school (we'll never understand why baseball can't be a "school sport" in middle school). Our team ended up winning our division so that was a bonus but my son would have loved the experience almost as much if we'd only have played 3 games. My son was also thrilled that the booster club at his school had a social media post announcing it first thing this morning. Such a cool experience all the way around. Thank you for organizing this!
I have a 6th grader and a 7th grader that both played in MSM this past weekend and they had a blast! When I asked them if they'd like to play in this tournament again it was a resounding "YES"!!!!! Thanks for all the hard work you all put into organizing this event!
Would definitely recommend! Our son had never expressed an interest or played baseball until MSM. Coach Price worked with him and he and an awesome time and experience to the point where he will now play in the spring. Thanks to the staff and coach for making our son a success story.
My son, Dylan, had a great time playing high level baseball with his friends from Willow Springs Middle School. We are new to the North Texas area so it gave us a good glimpse that there is life outside of football in Texas sports! The talent level was amazing and the games were fun to watch. We are happy that we were part of the MSM experience.
My son had a terrific time at the camp. The question/answer session with the coaches was extremely beneficial. Knowing the information now, when my kid is 11, will be beneficial as he moves forward in his baseball endeavors.
MSM was AWESOME! Such a great event for neighborhood friends to come together and play ball! Our son had a blast with his buddies from school and ready to play again in the next one!!!
My is in 6th grade and younger then his school classmates. Most of them play a year older then he does in local baseball. He loved being able to finally be able to play on a real team with his buddies and had a blast.
One of the best tourneys
The MSM tournament was a great way for my son to make some new friends in advance of the first day of school. It was also a good opportunity to get acquainted with some of the new parents. Highly recommend!
Very good tournament
Had a great time and played competitive teams!
My son, Bryson, played in his first MSM tournament and had a great time playing with his classmates who, for the most part, play on separate teams. He even played against some of his Club teammates. Looking forward to next year!
Boys had a blast!!
I loved the fact that kids from same school were able to play a sport they love
This was our first experience with the MSM. My son had a great time. He got to meet so many players from other areas and the one common theme was baseball. I saw him between games talking and laughing with kids he had never met before. What a way to build fellowship between schools. Thanks to everyone who puts this tourney together!!!
The kids really enjoyed this event, hope to participate again!
Great event. Kid had a great time playing with class mates he would normally play against. Can’t wait for next year
Great event for the kids and thank the coaches for all there work with the boys
My son received some great feedback from the coaches. I got some great information on college recruitment, expectations and next steps for my son's baseball career.
MSM brought the boys together to get to know each other better and have great memories and so much fun!
Great experience for my son. He enjoyed playing with the kids he will eventually play High School ball with. Well ran event!
My boy had fun the two days of the tournament. It was fantastic.
We love to see these talented kids come together to play baseball and represent their school.
I've had the pleasure of coaching the 6,7,and 8th grade Hudson GISD team the last 3 years. My son and his friends had an absolute blast and made some everlasting memories. This year was especially good because we won our bracket. Thank you again for putting on a great event for the kids. I will miss it next year for sure but we are on to High School baseball. Congratulations to MSM and their entire staff for another great season. Cheers!
My twins had a great time playing with school teammates for the 1st time. Moving forward, I would however recommend that for the 8th grade you play this tournament at 60/90 vs 54/80 so it would be safer.
I loved coaching the kids and them getting to represent their school. My son had a blast and can't wait until next year and I hope to get the opportunity to coach the boys again. The boys had a lot of fun playing together.
My player bonded with other baseball players from school he may not have otherwise!
Our Harwood JH boys were the first HEB kids to compete in MSM and they made the finals. We loved the format, the organization and the opportunity! Need more schools in the west side to join the fun!
This was the second year that we participated in Middle School Matchup. It was a great way for the boys to bond before they go into high school and play with their classmates. It was laid back and most importantly the boys had a great time playing without pressure. The whole environment was fantastic.
My son just loves being able to play with school friends and making new friends he had not met yet at school.
Son had a great time playing in this tournament. Well Organized.
We are so thankful MSM was able to pull off this fantastic tourney with all of the weather challenges! This was our favorite year yet because we had 2 bots playing! Thank you MSM for a blast!
My son had the best time playing with his friends from school this weekend. I heard my player say everyone was playing better because there wasn't any pressure- just fun.
What a great experience! Our junior high was the first ever from our district to participate in MSM. It was worth it! The boys bonded quickly like they'd played with each other for years. As the tourney went along they grew closer together. What great lasting memories for the boys and the parents!!!
My son has played baseball since he was 4 and he told me this weekend was his favorite weekend of baseball ever!
Fun weekend of baseball for my son! Since most of the guys play select/club ball it was great to see them all wearing the same jersey on the field (instead of competing against one another!!) and get a glimpse into his future HS team.
My son had a great time playing with his schoolmates
My son said he had more fun this one weekend than he had all of his regular season combined! Thank you, Middle School Matchup!
My son had a blast during middle school matchup. Baseball was fun again, with no pressure and playing with buddies from school.
I heard several boys day they had lots of fun and really enjoyed playing with various kids at various levels of baseball. It also opened the door for our son to see what other opportunities are out there with regards to playing with kids from different organizations, although they'll be going to the same middle school. Thanks!!
I wish I could be on two baseball teams, Dalllas Patriots and MSM Davis.
Middle School Match-up was as much fun for the coaches as it was for the kids. We made a lot of great friendships and the kids were disappointed the fun only lasted for the weekend. I look forward to two more years of this tournament and hopefully we will play with the same kids and parents. #happybaseball
MSM, is one of a kind. More emphasis put on the fun of the game and not just taking home a trophy or ring at any cost. Thanks MSM
My son played MSM all three years of middle school. Great experience every year and wonderful memories made with classmates!
MSM puts on great events that allow for awesome school pride and relationship building among players!
Middle School Matchup weekend was an awesome experience for my 6th grader. It gave him a chance to play baseball with all of his friends who are on different teams and he had a great time. We will be back next year for sure!
My son had never played baseball and entered this tournament to see uf he liked it and wanted to play. The boys were amazing to him as well as the coach. They all welcomed him and helped him learn the ropes. He got his first hit and first run and he loved it. He is going to start playing in the fall.
I heard my son say it was so fun to play with his friends from school. I saw more smiles from him over the 2 days than I have in a while on the field, playing with school friends and against regular teammates.
My 6th grade son, Cade, had a blast at both the summer & fall MSM tourneys! Thanks for putting together this awesome opportunity! I heard Cade say many times “This is so much fun!” There were smiles all around, evidence that it truly is #happybaseball!
My son absolutely loved playing with all his school friends! He wishes middle school had baseball! Thank you for a fantastic weekend!!
My son just finished playing in the Summer Smash. He had the best last two days playing the sport he loves with his friends. He is already asking when the next middle school match up is. Can’t wait!
My son really enjoyed playing with his friends AND he says he learned some things from his coach. Great time all around
Great concept and lots of fun!
Great experience for our rising 6th grade 11u champions!
This is our second year at MSM and my son enjoys playing with his classmates, it is a unique and super exciting experience. Thanks to those who make this an unforgettable experience, very good job. See you next year. Let's Go MSM !!!!
So much laughing and excitement!
I loved how my son had fun with his team. I heard so much laughing and excitement from the duggout
Went in as a free agent and put with a team. The kids were so open and nice to a new kid. The coaches were motivating and fun and the parents were so nice as well. It made baseball even more fun.
Great tournament
My son really enjoyed this tournament, it was so fun to play with his friends from school
My son and teammates got to play in 6th, 7th & 8th grade, going to miss this tournament being a part of his middle school baseball journey! Thank you MSM for hosting and volunteering on having this great tournament! Class of 2001
MSM was a blast for the kids.
This is a great way to make new friends, reconnect with old through the same passion for baseball. My son looks forward to next year!
Middle School Matchup was a fantastic experience for our son! He had such a great time playing with his friends from school and playing against friends from other schools. We can't wait until the next MSM tournament!
I love middle school match up this was my son's 3rd year to do it and hes in 8th grade so we will not be able to do middle school match up next year or anymore but he knocked out a grand slam on his last night of middle school match up so he went out with a big Bang!
My son, Michael, had the best two days of playing ball with his new friends from school! This is a great way for the kids to know new people and socialize, especially in this strange time. Parents had a great time, too!
Great event for piers to have a chance to play together!
Both of my boys have played high-level baseball for years. MSM is ALWAYS the tournament they look forward to the most every year. My older son literally had tears coming down his face after his last MSM. last fall There's no pressure... just playing the game they know how to play, and doing it with their friends. And absolutely trying to compete for their school.
My son had such a great time and made some new friends along the way! The coaches we had were great, they were very professional and positive. They made the experience fun and exciting for the kids and parents too!
Great to see kids of all levels coming together and having some friendly matchups!! Every kid I saw was enjoying the day!
This was my son's first year playing for MSM. He is a 6th grader in McKinney. The boys had a great time getting together with other students from their school that they may not normally play with. The coaches were also great and it was FUN FUN FUN.
It is so fun to see the boys get to play baseball and represent their school in this way.
It’s so fun that kids get to play with their classmates and make new friends.
Great time!
This was AWESOME!! Thanks so much! We wish it was next weekend too! Everyone had a blast! 🙂 Thank you!!!
Great time awesome venue for the kids
Heard my player say how much fun it was meeting kids going to his school that he didnt know from other Elementary's and getting to play with them.
Well run tournament from top to bottom
So fun to watch these boys get to connect and play together as a team with current teammates, former teammates, and new teammates. It was a great weekend!
What an incredibly fun weekend of baseball!!! Now I see where #happybaseball came from because it’s the perfect way to describe it. Getting an opportunity to play with all of your school mates was the absolute best!!! So much joy coming from the dugout. The organization and communication was top notch and made the whole experience such fun. Thanks to all who put in all the hard work to make the tournament a huge success.
This was the 2nd year my son has played MSM, and my 2nd year to coach a team. This year was as much fun if not more fun than the last. All of the boys on our team smiled the entire time we were there. I am not sure which they enjoyed more, playing with their buddies from school or playing against the boys on the other school team that are normally their teammates. We plan to form an 8th-grade team to finish out our 3rd and final year with MSM. It is an event both you and your child will look forward to each season, trust me on that. Mathew Long - Keller ISD - Trinity Springs Middle School 7th
What a great weekend of baseball. Very fun tournament that brought kids together that don’t play together. Camaraderie was great
The 8th grade players on the Rogers Middle school in Prosper said they had a lot of fun but wish they had one more shot at a championship in the spring. Hopefully MSM can work it out and give all the 8th graders in the metroplex one more tournament. Personally I am thankful for allowing the kids an opportunity to play with their classmates before high school. They had a blast!
What a wonderful experience for both my boys! Can’t wait to do it again next year!
Son had a great time playing in this tournament. Well Organized.
This was my son's first year playing for MSM. He is a 6th grader in McKinney. The boys had a great time getting together with other students from their school that they may not normally play with. The coaches were also great and it was FUN FUN FUN.
I've coached youth baseball for 10 years. The MSM tournament was unlike any other tournament I've been a part of. My team was full of school pride playing for their middle school! I strongly recommend MSM!
What a fun weekend! Very well organized and boys got to play ball with classmates they might not normally get to play with. We had great parent and student support too! Wish we would have done this in 6th and 7th grade as well.
Very fun event for the kids.
The boys were huddled up before the first game I heard one say to the other" imagine our school having two teams if everyone signed up and what that would look like"
Our team and their parents team can't wait to do it again next year! Most of the boys have been hanging out on their free time ever since. I think that was the point. Well done MSM!
My son enjoyed being able to play with his classmates! He even made a few new friends. The facilities were great and very family friendly! Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
Would definitely recommend! Our son had never expressed an interest or played baseball until MSM. Coach Price worked with him and he and an awesome time and experience to the point where he will now play in the spring. Thanks to the staff and coach for making our son a success story.
It was a memorable weekend with new friends. Kids has the great experience representing their school playing baseball.
No better way in the DFW area for middle school boys to play together than at the MSM tournament.
My son, Dylan, had a great time playing high level baseball with his friends from Willow Springs Middle School. We are new to the North Texas area so it gave us a good glimpse that there is life outside of football in Texas sports! The talent level was amazing and the games were fun to watch. We are happy that we were part of the MSM experience.
This was the second year that we participated in Middle School Matchup. It was a great way for the boys to bond before they go into high school and play with their classmates. It was laid back and most importantly the boys had a great time playing without pressure. The whole environment was fantastic.
This is my fifth year with boys in the MSM program and I have to say it’s been a blast for both of them. They each play baseball at a high level with their select teams but there’s nothing like playing with your classmates and friends at school, no matter the level of the team’s success on the ball diamond. Everyone has a great time and the anticipation of the tournament every year has been like a second Christmas for them.
This was a fun a well organized tournament. I loved my son being able to play with his classmates. All these boys play in different clubs so it was fun to see them play with their future high school teammates.
My son had a great time and got to show his classmates what he was all about. We had several coaches come try to recruit my son after the games. It was a lot of fun and also competitive.
I would like to extend a Thank you to MSM staff for putting a great, fun tournament for the kids. We did not have many practices but the boys enjoyed every bit of playing together. When my son tells me I'm proud to play with my school friends for his middle school (GISD-Hudson) it speaks volumes about what the tournament is about. Its about having fun, team building, competing and proudly representing your middle school. Id like to Thank MSM for allowing me to coach a combined metro team, not only did our kids bond with other teammates I also had the opportunity to meet some great parents that enjoy the game of baseball. Thank you Meno
This was our second year playing in MSM and me coaching our MSM teams. Last year was great as it was a new experience. This year was even better as we kind of knew what to expect which allowed us to focus more on just having fun. We had great competition, fantastic fields and awesome umpires the entire weekend. Can't wait for MSM next year, although it will be our last I am sure it will be our best year of all.
My son had a blast playing baseball with his school mates which doesn't happen in middle school. Wish we could do it next year, unfortunately the kids have to pick one sport in High School
Great time awesome venue for the kids
My son plays on a nationally ranked select team. It was fun to see him play with the kids he goes to school with and friends with. I haven't seen him smile so much on the field. Plus he was able to show his friends his baseball skills which was nice for him....
"PLAYING WITH MY FRIENDS FEELS LIKE WE ARE WINNERS ALREADY "
Great job Middle School match up staff. I had my ninth player show up Saturday morning with a broken hand from the night prior. Was very impressed with the onsite tourney directors response to finding a last min sub player @ Bachus in Frisco. He even followed up to ensure we had no issues halfway through our first game!
This was our first experience with the MSM. My son had a great time. He got to meet so many players from other areas and the one common theme was baseball. I saw him between games talking and laughing with kids he had never met before. What a way to build fellowship between schools. Thanks to everyone who puts this tourney together!!!
"That was fun!"
Most fun my son has had playing baseball since starting!
This was the an outstanding weekend of family fun and some great baseball. My son plays AA and played for Staley Middle School and absolutely had the best time playing and representing the school. We talked for hours about he wonderful weekend and all of the talented teams. this is an event that should happen more often. Maybe a Spring Match Up. We would even be interested in a middle school mini season. The event was very well organized and well done. SUPER EXPERIENCE. THANK you so much. Please consider a Spring Match and a Mini Season.
My sons team of 7th graders did not place in tourney, but EVERY one of those boys came off the last game with smiles on their faces!! Who wants to loose, but this shows what the coaches main message was.....meet new boys, do your best, but have fun!!!! Great experience!!!
It was a great opportunity to play more baseball once the regular season it's over plus a positive way to interact with classmates from his middle schoo,..gran evento
My player bonded with other baseball players from school he may not have otherwise!
My son had so much fun playing with his friends. It was a great time by all. Looking forward to next year.
Great opportunity for schoolmates to interact and play together.
Great experience for my son. He made new friends and played alot of quality baseball. We're certainly all in for next year.
it is great for the kids that don't play on the same team but go to the same school to play together !! the only thing that is disappointing is stacking teams with all great talent !!
It was a blast! The kids had an amazing time.great experience for the middle school kids.
It was a blast! The kids had an amazing time.great experience for the middle school kids.
What an awesome weekend of baseball. My son had the time of his life. The coaches were fantastic and the boys had a blast. Can't wait to do it again next year.
My son and teammates got to play in 6th, 7th & 8th grade, going to miss this tournament being a part of his middle school baseball journey! Thank you MSM for hosting and volunteering on having this great tournament! Class of 2001
What a great weekend!! Our team had so much fun playing on the field and making memories at the hotel. Every part of the tournament went so smoothly. Our boys won the championship and received championship T-shirts and they were so excited to wear them the next day to school to show all of their friends that they were MSM Champs!!
What a great opportunity for kids to play with friends from school who they don't normally get to play with. My kids got the chance to play with kids they started playing baseball with years ago. Many kids take different paths in baseball but what a fun way to bring them back together for one weekend. Great memories for them.
This was AWESOME!! Thanks so much! We wish it was next weekend too! Everyone had a blast! 🙂 Thank you!!!
It's so much fun to see school buddies get the chance to play together! One of my favorite tourneys of the year.
Great event!! My son had a great time playing baseball with his school friends. A couple suggestions......it would be great if each complex hosting the event had T-shirts for sale, the board with all the kids playing and food collection boxes as outlined in the email. Thanks!!
I had the opportunity to coach a team this year. Not quite sure what we were getting into but ecstatic by the end of the weekend. This event is very well run. For the kids to have an opportunity to play with their classmates turned out to be very positive for all. We lost our 1st bracket game Sunday (3 extra innings) but the kids played hard and had a great time. The biggest thing they were fired up about was their Mannequin Challenge video that MSM put on the FB page. In 24 hours it had over 1000 views. The kids thought they were famous. Thank you again, we will see you next year!
Kyle enjoyed getting to know some of the other baseball players at his middle school. As the parents commented, that is the core of our future high school team developing!!
MSM was a great experience for both our 6th & 8th grade sons to play in. They both play select baseball and have played against their classmates in many tournaments but haven't had the opportunity to play on the same team. This gives them the chance to know how great it will be if they play high school baseball with the kids they see and talk to everyday and help build that bond on and off the field. We highly recommend giving your player the opportunity to play MSM whether they are playing travel or Little League Baseball, it's an experience they will never forget.
The boys had a blast playing on a team with all their middle school friends. We are looking forward to next year!
The boys really enjoy playing with their school friends and just going out and having fun. MSM is a great concept and seems to be enjoyed by all.
My son had a GREAT time at the MSM this weekend! It was fun to see the boys come together and play as a team representing their school for the first time. The event was very organized and a good time was had by all!
Fun event!
Great event and saw some wonderful softball this weekend. Would love to see it expand even more next year.
Great event! Lots of fun.
This was a great experience for my 8th grader. He has not played baseball for 2 years and he loved that he could play in a tournament with all his friends. He had a blast!
Son had a great time. Thanks MSM
This is my son's second year to participate in MSM! Once again it was an absolute blast. Logan said to me after the second game, "There is nothing more fun than looking up and seeing all my best friends playing our favorite sport all together". We can't wait til next year. Go Gators!
I loved coaching the kids and them getting to represent their school. My son had a blast and can't wait until next year and I hope to get the opportunity to coach the boys again. The boys had a lot of fun playing together.
