We plan to hold a Parent Information Zoom for families interested in tournament opportunities the evening of March 3.
We'll review the tournament schedule, share details on the tournament experience, talk about how we build our rosters and how you can work with our coaches to evaluate your player’s readiness for tournament play, provide information on registration, cost, travel and other logistics, and offer families a chance to ask any questions.
Are Tournaments Right for Me?
DC Girls Baseball welcomes members with a range of skill and experience levels.
For our members who have a strong skills foundation and regular in-game experience, the tournament circuit - from local and regional events to Baseball for All's national tournament - offers our players the chance to compete consistently together as a team, to challenge themselves with high-level play, and to connect with the broader girls baseball community. BFA Nationals is typically the event with the most competitive level of play across the tournament season.
For our members who are newer to the game, still developing fundamental skills, and/or not playing games regularly, local events (Skylar Kaplan in August and our DMV Series in October) are accessible introductions to the tournament experience. Their timing allows coaches to work with players on skills development across the spring and summer. Our Arlington Senior Babe Ruth rec team for ages 13 and older is another local opportunity for in-game experience with regular instruction by DCGB coaches.
We do not hold tryouts for tournament teams but our coaches do work with players and families to evaluate readiness. Our goal is to ensure that players feel prepared and have a positive experience when they join us for tournament play.
Tournament Fees, Deposits, & Scholarships
DCGB sets a specific tournament fee for each event we attend. The tournament fee is intended to cover the team registration fee that DCGB pays to the tournament organizer, a portion of DCGB's coaching costs (travel and time) for each team, team expenses such as ice and snacks, etc.
The tournament fee is in ADDITION to our annual membership fee.
-
In 2025, tournament fees will be due one month before the tournament date.
BFA Nationals: For our largest event of the year, Baseball for All Nationals, we will require a non-refundable deposit of $150 by June 21.
-
We plan to set tournament fees for 2025 events by early March.
Fees from this past year (2024) are listed below for reference:
Slaterettes Classic = $255
BFA Nationals = $650
Skylar Kaplan Pioneer Series = $195
NY Girls Baseball Tournament = $255

It is important to us that cost is not an obstacle for players to participate in tournament opportunities. We accept financial assistance requests for all tournaments that we attend. Requests are reviewed by our Financial Assistance Committee and are confidential.
We will circulate our scholarship request form by early March. Scholarship requests will be due by April 1.
