Open Rules

Parking is free and please be mindful of your time. Our park is very large and it will take time getting from where you park to your field. We do have 7 fields and 10 batting cages for your use.

Please be courteous with the use of the cages, as we will have up to 7 tournaments running at once. Please have your players get their swings and move along promptly so all our teams have the same great experience you will have.

We will be charging a $5.00 cash per person fee per day. Please make sure you tell your parents and coaches!! No pets allowed at the park.  Our whole park and concession stand is cash only. Three coaches per day allowed in for free.

Please send payments made out to All American Baseball, 429 Duquesne Ave, Trafford PA 15085. OR pay on our website. Also, your rosters will need to be emailed to [email protected].

We love youth baseball and all it offers!!  All American reserves the right to ask people to leave based on their actions and/or verbal abuse of any All American colleague, fan, umpire, coach, and most importantly the players.  IF A FAN, COACH OR PLAYER ARE ASKED TO LEAVE BECAUSE OF THEIR BEHAVIOR, THE HEAD COACH WILL BE CONFINED TO THEIR BENCH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THAT GAME.  IF THERE IS A SECOND INCIDENT DURING THE TOURNAMENT THE HEAD COACH WILL ALSO BE ASKED TO LEAVE, NO SECOND CHANCES!!  This is a no tolerance policy.  

Any ejection of a coach results in that coach being eligible, although not required, for a one game suspension to full tournament ban at the discretion of the tournament director.

There will be no alcohol permitted.

We are using April 30th as our age cutoff date per age group.

On championship day if the game is tied at either time limit or game completion, extra inning will go to California Rules to complete. Each team will the start the inning with their last batted out on 2nd base and the batters will have a 0-0 count. Each inning will start this way until the tie is broken.

Official Games are complete after the completion of the 1st Inning. If a game is called due to darkness, weather, etc., and it is in the middle of an inning, then the game will revert back to the score from the previous inning.

If you would like to officially protest the game, please have the umpire contact the Tournament Director or on-site Manager prior to play resuming.  Please have a $100.00 deposit ready for your protest.  IF the ruling is overturned, you will get your deposit back.  IF it is a protest on a judgment call or you lose your protest, your deposit will be donated to a local charity of All American’s choice.
