Awesime
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 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.
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.
As always...Frankford Middle School had an awesome time.
Everyone was all about fun. The kids just had fun. There was no pressure from anyone, and it was fun to have the school pride aspect. We need more things like this for both the parents and the kids.
"PLAYING WITH MY FRIENDS FEELS LIKE WE ARE WINNERS ALREADY "
My children had an amazing time, thank you!
It was great to see all of my sons friends come together to play the game they love. They all play competitive baseball with different organizations and this gave them the oppourtunity to play together. It was awesome!
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.
Well run organization.
This was our second time playing MSM and it won’t be the last. This is a great tournament. Well organized. The kids love getting a chance to play together.
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 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 event! Lots of fun.
My son had a great time playing with his schoolmates
We didn’t win, but our group of guys, that represented almost as many teams as players, had so much fun together! Kicking off Middle School right! We’ll definitely try to play again!
"That was fun!"
Great opportunity for schoolmates to interact and play together.
My son played MSM all three years of middle school. Great experience every year and wonderful memories made with classmates!
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.
Great experience, My son Noah had a terrific time. First time we were able to play as a unit with kids we've known for years and made some new friends. Great event Great people couldn't be happier. Thanks MSM
My son had a blast, the fields were nice. Only suggestion I have is to have working scoreboards.
This was the first year that we got to participate and we truly enjoyed the event. Thank You.
One of the best tourneys
This was our first experience with MSM and it was amazing all around. Well planned and great communication from the organization. Our coach was amazing as well! My son loves the entire experience!!
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 son had so much fun even as a “free agent.” He said he learned so much from our coach and the other boys.
Had an awesome time at Middle School Match up. It was lots of fun for the boys.
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.
We have played in this tournament for at least 3 years. All our kids have a blast!! It's fun and different for the kiddos. Thank you for putting this on!
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
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!
My player really enjoyed being a free agent and the team of boys he played with. Coaching staff was excellent and the team welcoming. #happybaseball for sure
Great way to get the boys together to build chemistry before they get to highschool.
Great experience for my son. He enjoyed playing with the kids he will eventually play High School ball with. Well ran event!
My son really enjoyed this tournament, it was so fun to play with his friends from school
Our kids had a blast. We had a combined team so they got to know other kids as well as play with their friends. It’s too bad this is just once a year! Will do again!
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 !!!!
What an amazing day playing in Middle School Matchup. These boys played hard, had fun and took home the championship in their bracket. Aside from playing well as a team there were some pretty spectacular moments. Sunday Game 1 a perfect game was pitched and the team scored 17 runs. Game 2 a shut out was pitched and the team scored 11 runs. Game 3 pitchers held the opponent to 4 runs the hit a walk-off three-run in side the park home run for a 5-4 victory. To say the day was exciting is an understatement. Classmates from various teams came together as one and memories were made. Had an absolute blast.
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!
This was an amazing experience
Great family fun for all! It's heartwarming to see all of our middle school boys bond and get to play together. It's very uplifting and positive.
I have twin 6th grade boys and they had a blast!!!!! This was such a great opportunity to get friends together to play as they usually are spread out on all different teams. So much fun!!!
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.
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.
What a great event! I highly recommend it!
This is our 2Nd year to do this tournament. It has been great both years. Well organized and good competitive teams.
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.
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.
Great fun all about baseball experience!
Both our boys had a great time playing. It was a great event and they love playing with their school. Thank you.
Great event, the first time my kid has been able to play and represent his school.
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.
This was my son’s first time playing in MSM and my first time coaching. Being part of a combo/“skittles” team was by far the best experience! 12 boys who didn’t play together before, let alone half who never met before, came together and played selflessness baseball over 2 days. The most rewarding part of it was at the end - while we didn’t win it all on the field, the boys stuck around after the last game to exchange numbers. 12 kids made new friends. I highly encourage more “skittle” teams!
Great event for the kids and thank the coaches for all there work with the boys
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!
My son and our family look forward to this tournament. It is so fun for him to get to play with his classmates. The atmosphere is fun for the whole family! The memories made are priceless!
Awesome weekend! My player had a blast playing with his friends from school! He made some lasting memories!
This is our 2nd year of participation and our son’s school 2nd runner up status. While cold, it was a blast seeing him play with and against his friends. Select baseball is serious business, but MSM allows for fun, silly competition!
Fun event for the kids
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!
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!
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!
We love to see these talented kids come together to play baseball and represent their school.
Great weekend of baseball, made some new friends too!
He was so excited to see foul balls hit so that he could get Whataburger!!
In one world, It's AMAZING. THANKS.
It was so much fun!!!
This was our 2nd MSM and we loved it just as much as the 1st! We love that it gives our boys who grew up together the opportunity to play together! The program is well organized, teaches team work and to be competitive while still having fun. Middle School Match-up fans for life!
A great weekend and my son was extremely excited to play baseball with friends from school.
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!
It is great to have all the boys get to play together on one team! Making memories!
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!!
Son loved the tournament and the opportunity to play baseball with his middle school friends. Can’t wait to play again.
It was a memorable weekend with new friends. Kids has the great experience representing their school playing baseball.
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!
Very fun atmosphere getting to play with his buddies from school. Thank you for helping my son make memories he won’t forget.
The excitement of Middle School Matchup has intensified from year to year and the boys can't wait to play one more time before they start High School. MSM is truly a #happybaseball event.
MSM does an amazing job. Boys had a ton of fun! We are looking forward to the winter tournament.
One of the best tournaments all season! Can’t wait for next year
The coaching was great, the competition level was adequate and overall we had a great weekend of baseball. I look forward to participating this coming school year.
What I love most about MSM is that you have players from ALL levels playing together. It’s about school friends playing baseball together, who otherwise may never get the chance. Our coach never sits anyone, no matter what their skill level is, they ALL play, every game. It’s what MSM should be about!
What a great weekend of baseball. Very fun tournament that brought kids together that don’t play together. Camaraderie was great
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.
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 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.
Highly recommend MSM! Just 1 weekend a year to play with your buddies and multi-level players, all while representing your school! Reinforces the meaning of teamwork and helps develop relationships.
Best youth baseball experience we’ve had in years.
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!
Would highly recommend.
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 player bonded with other baseball players from school he may not have otherwise!
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!!
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 time for the boys
Absolutely love watching all our select team boys play against each other and also have a great time with their middle school buddies as well . Our favorite tourney of the year ! Thank you !
Great experience for everyone involved.
Professionally run and perfect weather for it!
My son had a great time. Even though he played with several boys he had never met before, he enjoyed the match up! Professionally run and perfect weather for it! We would definitely do it again!
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 !!
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.
