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!
It was great to see the boys come together and play hard and create great memories
Would highly recommend.
Rylan had so much fun. Playing against class mates in a fun setting was relaxing. Coach Pitts was excellent with his relationship to the team. Helped them enjoy the game even more.
This event was phenomenal. It was well organized and well executed, and most of all, it's such a fun concept to be playing with kids from your neighborhood. Isaac told me "this is the most fun I have had playing baseball in a long time." As a parent, one cannot ask any more than that. Kudos, MSM.
This is a special event. Our boys had a wonderful time and could not recommend this enough.
Kids had a terrific time and wish it was more than one weekend during the fall.
MSM was a great experience! My son had so much fun playing with his school friends!
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!
This was such a great experience not just for our son but for us as parents as well. It was great to be able to play with kids we dont normally get a chance to play baseball with. The coaches were amazing and let the boys have fun, play different positions and enjoy the moment.
Great tourney!!! Kids had a great time. well run, great kids, coaches and umps. Looking forward to next year!!!
The boys had a blast playing and loved sporting their game shirts and hoodies at school!
I like the idea of this event since boys that play baseball are not really able to play on a "school" team together until High School. This allows that opportunity and my son had a great experience.
It was a blast! The kids had an amazing time.great experience for the middle school kids.
What a great weekend! The weather could not have been more perfect and the boys had a great time! All the fields were in great condition and everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy baseball! Thank you for all the hard work put into having such a great weekend of baseball.
MSM is our favorite tournament of the year. The kids have a blast playing with their school friends, but also get to see and compete against many other friends they have played with over the years. It is a well run tournament that all of us look forward too!
Great opportunity for schoolmates to interact and play together.
Very informative for parents concerning college recruitment and preparation for the application process. Also, great for teaching the boys the college coaches expectations. My 12 year old son, Noah, enjoyed the specialized instruction from the Oklahoma State and University of Houston coaches during camp and said it was his favorite one day camp ever! We appreciate all of the coaches and staff that helped make this a successful event.
My Son went into the tournament with an arm issue and told by Doctors to not throw for 2-3 weeks. Richard, the coach of the Roach team allowed him to participate and be a part of the team. Richard kept my Son involved by allowing him to bat but not take the Field. My Son was extremely pleased to be able to participate on a limited basis and learn from a strong coach.
My children had an amazing time, thank you!
My son had a blast at the Middle School Matchup 2018. It was our first, but not last time to participate. My son loved the change up from his normal league and really enjoyed the mix up of kids in his grade. Great time! Highly recommend
This was a great opportunity for my son to meet and play with his future HS teammates. All the boys had a ball. It was great watching them having fun playing the game all of them love.
This was some of the best baseball I have seen since my son has been playing baseball. I really enjoyed seeing all levels of experience come together into one team.
The team building was excellent! It was great to see a group of kids who don’t know each other well come together and work hard, cheering for everyone. It was great that kids of all skill levels were able to come together, contribute, and have a great time.
My 6th grader enjoyed playing with his classmates who are all one year older than him. He loved that his Social Studies teacher attended a game to cheer on the boys!
We enjoyed watching our team play...we sustained an injury during practice so weren't able to compete but we enjoyed cheering our team on nonetheless. Great time...I'd recommend it to any middle schoolers wishing they could play baseball next year in middle school.
I heard my son and other players say”this is the most fun I’ve had playing ball with my classmates “!
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!
My son had so much fun playing with and against his school and regular baseball team buddies. It was a great time!
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!
We had such an amazing experience all around!! The boys had great chemistry and they enjoyed playing with their friends from school! MSM kudos to y’all for pulling off such a challenging and fantastic event!! Looking forward to the next one!!
My son had a great experience with MSM. He had a few friends on the team and also made new friends all while getting to play a super fun tournament. It was fun to see the kids try new positions and just have a good time.
It was great getting the boys at our school together to play. They aren't always on the same teams, but they could play together, form new bonds and represent their school!
MSM brought kids and families together that have rarely been able to play together, let alone baseball. And even though some of our players had never played baseball competitively and we were blown away by both of our opponents, our boys still had a lot of fun just being together.
What a great platform for all of the young baseball players to come together and play with and against each other. We had a great time, my son had a great time! Looking forward to the next one!
This was our first year playing MSM and we are so glad we did. We had fun and made new and rekindled old friendship along the way. Our boys were inspired by the other kids they got to play with that it definitely reignited their love for the sport. Thank you MSM and all the volunteers and coaches. We appreciate all you do.
This experience is just what my kid needed. We just moved here end of February from Cali. My kids had 5 days of school with their new school and then covid hit. They don’t know anybody. Plus my oldest (cayden who played MSM) just started JR high (6th grade) and it’s just been so difficult making friends. So playing on a team that consists of kids from his school was just what he needed. He had a great time and met some pretty amazing kids and parents. Plus the coach was absolutely amazing. My son did mention that he wished it was a longer event. Great job with everything and again thank you for the great memories!
Our daughter attended the hitting camp and had a great time, learned a new drill and for first time had her power off the bat timed. She already knew she could hit the ball hard, but when she was able to attach a number to it her confidence was boosted even more. As parents, we really loved hearing directly from scouts. Hearing what they look for confirmed the things we are doing right and will help us avoid doing things in the future that may automatically disqualify our player. Loved the tips about what NOT to spend money on as we are trying to promote our players to colleges and universities.
What an amazing experience! MSM is run so well; so organized but with a great personal touch. The boys loved every minute of it! Thank you for a great weekend full of memories.
My son 100% loved this tournament. He was only able to participate in it 2x because he had an injury in 7th grade and wasn't able to participate. But being around all these different players from different schools in a relaxed atmosphere helped him play really well in the tournament. I saw smiles on all the kids faces and the most memorable thing i saw was when the pitcher on the opposing team was warming up, ALL the boys gathered and were laughing and talking to each other because they all knew each other. Wonderful tournament
This is our 2Nd year to do this tournament. It has been great both years. Well organized and good competitive teams.
Great experience all around! We had so much rain in the forecast but the MSM team made it all work and the boys did not lose any games. My son said it was the most fun he’s ever had at a baseball tournament since he got to play with all of his middle school friends and can’t wait for next year!
Fantastic experience for our family, our son has played in this tournament two years in a row and this year was better than last year (which was great). I would highly recommend this tournament!!
Such a fun tournament! It was great to see kids and coaches from various schools cheering each other on. Such a positive , well organized and fun event! Well done!!
I saw my son be able to just play ball with his buddies as opposed to the unnecessary pressures and stress of select ball. It was refreshing and exciting!
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.
The 2-day Summer Smash Tourney was a blast!
The 2-day Summer Smash Tourney was a blast! The boys were smiling all day! When we got in the car, my son said, “That was awesome! I’ve never had that much fun playing baseball!” It was great seeing the boys meet new friends, connect with old friends & become teammates!
What a great weekend of baseball. Very fun tournament that brought kids together that don’t play together. Camaraderie was great
My son really enjoyed playing with his friends AND he says he learned some things from his coach. Great time all around
It was a great event and my 7th grade son enjoyed all the great instruction. The parents Q&A was informative. I would highly recommend it and we look forward to attending again in the future.
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.
Had a great time playing on a team with guys I typically play against!
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.
Middle School Matchup was a wonderful experience for my 6th grader. I am so thankful he got the opportunity to participate in this event. He got the opportunity to play with other kids from his middle school that he has not played with before and he loved it. MSM does an outstanding job making this event fun, competitive, and memorable! #happybaseball
Great way to get the boys together to build chemistry before they get to highschool.
Summer 2021 was my son's third time to play MSM with his pure school team. It's fully expected that these kids would have a fabulous time playing with their school buddies. What is unexpected is how fun it is to play AGAINST players on your regular team! From one of our base runners shaking off the pitcher contemplating a pickoff, to the opposing coach cuing up a couple of our players' walkup songs, this was truly #happybaseball!
Very good tournament
This tournament was so much fun and relaxing!! Smiles in all the players faces!! It was great to see the kids razz (joke) with their friends from other schools as they came around the bases. Can’t wait for the fall one!
My player bonded with other baseball players from school he may not have otherwise!
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 is at Cobb. They had the opportunity to play Griffin. All the boys loved to take a sneak peak at the kids they would be playing with at Wakeland 2024 . Jackson said “I can’t wait to play with those kids again ! Wakeland is going to have a good squad and they seem like good teammates !”
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.
MSM puts on great events that allow for awesome school pride and relationship building among players!
Great job to all involved in planning and executing the MSM tournament. Competition was strong and it seemed each team was having a blast! I wish some of the tournament circuits for select baseball could learn some of your efficiencies and practices. Well done!
Been playing MSM all through middle school. You guy’s always put on a great tournament and our son loves playing baseball with all his friends. Thanks again for another great season.
This was our first experience with MSM and we loved every part of it from the ease of signing up, the great communication before and during the tournament, and the experience our son got to play with his school friends and compete at a high level.
It was great to see the kids laughing and having fun with classmates. It's more than a game and we look forward to next year's MSM!
My son was excited to meet new friends and play in a friendly atmosphere. The bantering back and forth with an opposing team was polite and refreshing to witness.
"PLAYING WITH MY FRIENDS FEELS LIKE WE ARE WINNERS ALREADY "
What a great idea and a lot of Fun. Maybe need another one in the Spring also???
My son couldn't stop smiling last night as we drove home from our last game. He told me over and over again that he had a blast and can't wait to do this again!
This has been our third MSM. Our boys love it and we as a tight group of parents look forward to it every year. Thank you.
Son had a great time playing in this tournament. Well Organized.
In one world, It's AMAZING. THANKS.
My boys look forward to this every year. Win or lose it’s the most fun weekend of baseball at this age.
Our kiddos had the best time. They played against friends so of course that was the best! Our 6th graders that represented EMS-Creekview School took the Championship! Can’t wait for next year..
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!
Cool tournament!
MSM is such a cool tournament that gives classmates a chance to play with and against current teammates former teammates and other players they have played against.
What a great weekend! It was great to play with classmates of all different levels and meet new people.
Great experience for our rising 6th grade 11u champions!
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!
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.
Loved it!
My son has been playing baseball for the last 7 years, and I've never seen him so confident on the field or with his teammates! Playing the with his friends from school brought out a whole new side of him that I'm looking forward to watching in the more competitive games in future seasons. The night before the MSM tournament, I heard my son say, "This is going to be the most fun tournament ever!" Even though our boys didn't walk away champions, I still believe he was right. It was so fun!
One of the best tourneys
As always...Frankford Middle School had an awesome time.
My son had so much fun playing with his friends. It was a great time by all. Looking forward to next year.
Fun experience! Great way to meet other middle schoolers who love baseball prior to the first day of school.
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!
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 AWESOME!! Thanks so much! We wish it was next weekend too! Everyone had a blast! 🙂 Thank you!!!
My son absolutely loved playing with all his school friends! He wishes middle school had baseball! Thank you for a fantastic weekend!!
A great experience and I would definitely recommend it.
This is such a great tournament! Such a great environment for the kids to play ball with their classmates! Nothing but fun!! Thanks so much for all of your hard work that goes into this.
Well run tournament from top to bottom
Not sure who had more fun me or the boys. The priceless moment for me was when I witnessed boys who play baseball all the time embrace and encourage all their teammates some of which hadn’t played baseball in years. Wasn’t about winning or loosing it was about fun , representing their school and having a blast with their classmates.
Great event and saw some wonderful softball this weekend. Would love to see it expand even more next year.
The boys had such a great experience at the Middle School Match Up! We can’t wait till next year! 😁
My boy loved coming to the metroplex to take on big schools! Loved playing with all of his classmates!!💙⚾️💛 They all LOVED it!
MSM brought the boys together to get to know each other better and have great memories and so much fun!
The boys had so much fun! What an amazing experience
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.
