IMPORTANT NEW GATE FEE INFORMATION
To better serve our players and spectators we will no longer collect gate fees from individuals on site. Instead, we will be auto-drafting your $40.00 per player (covers your athlete and all spectators in your party) gate fee pass on 6/30/26. This will also allow free flow of passage in and out of the complexes without having to worry about gate pass lines, cumbersome on site payments, and other inconveniences. This gate fee is required for all players, regardless of number of games played. All gate fees must be paid prior to the start of the event.
For game play, we will follow NFHS (National Federation of State High School) rules with the exception of any specific in-house rules stated below

Play With your best friend
Buddy request
What’s a buddy request?
We offer an opportunity for all All-Americans to request placement on the same #TeamAAG team as a friend from home or previous teammate they met at an early All-American Games event, that is also attending that same event, in the same age group.
This requires our #TeammAAG staff to play a little roster Tetris when it comes time to building out the teams. Our goal is to ensure that every player has a true All-American experience, by playing on teams with athletes from across the US, while also honoring your wishes to play with a best friend or teammate from home.
Buddy Requests can be made during registration or inside your personal registration portal at https://register.athletx.com/login
IMPORTANT! You do not need to request a player that has already requested to be on your player’s team or vise versa.

STAY-TO-PLAY
Hotel information
All Baseball Youth events are STAY-TO-PLAY. In order to participate in the tournaments, all athletes are required to book their lodging through Athletx Travel. Athletx Travel has secured specially discounted rates with the top properties in the area. If you choose not to book your lodging through Athletx Travel, you will be required to pay an alternative lodging fee. Contact [email protected] for alternative lodging inquiries. If you are considered local to an event (within 90 miles) please let us know so we can verify and get you noted as compliant. If within 2 weeks of the event, Athletx Travel will not be an option and the alternative lodging fee will automatically apply unless the team or player is considered local.
PUBLIX SPORTS PARK

The complex features 13 total fields, including nine all-synthetic turf fields designed with AstroTurf and Z-Cap Cooling Technology to keep surface temperatures lower and provide consistent play all year long. The turf allows for excellent drainage and quick turnaround after rain, minimizing weather delays and ensuring smooth tournament operations. Two of the fields are built as championship fields with stadium-style seating for up to 1,500 fans, giving championship games a true big-league atmosphere. Field layouts are flexible to accommodate a range of age divisions and tournament formats, and ongoing upgrades continue to expand the park’s all-turf capacity.
