We recommend planning to arrive on the day before the Opening Ceremonies so your team is ready to go first thing in the morning. Opening Ceremonies kick off your Nationals experience with check-in, team introductions, coaches’ meetings, and the Team Showcase.
On the final day of the tournament, the championship games are played, and closing ceremonies are held. However, each team’s closing experience is dependent on their last game; some may finish on Wednesday, while others could play through Thursday’s championships. Teams can usually plan to depart once their final game (and closing ceremony) is complete.
All pre-ordered Entertainment Passes will be available for pickup at the Opening Ceremonies at the Entertainment Pass station. After the Opening Ceremonies (Day 1), passes can be picked up at the FanShop (merchandise tent).
- Deadline: All pre-ordered passes must be picked up before the end of Pool Play.
- Important: Passes will not be available at the Entertainment Park itself. If you arrive at the park without your pass, you will need to purchase a ticket directly from the park at their posted price.
- Team Passes: Coaches will receive all player and coach passes at the Coaches Meeting during Opening Ceremonies.
- Refund Policy: All pre-ordered passes purchased through Youth Nationals are non-refundable.
Yes! Entertainment Passes can be purchased at our FanShop (merchandise tent) anytime before the end of Pool Play.
- Please note: Passes are not available for sale at the Entertainment Park at our special discounted rate. If you wait to buy them at the park, you’ll need to purchase tickets directly from them at their regular gate price.
Your coach will receive all pre-ordered tournament shirts for your team at the Coaches Meeting during Opening Ceremonies. Coaches are responsible for distributing shirts to their players and families.
- Please note: If your coach does not pick up your team’s shirts, they will be available for pickup at the FanShop (merchandise tent) until the end of Pool Play.

Your Team Portal must be 100% complete at least one month before the event, and any team whose portal is not complete by this deadline will not be placed on the schedule (released one week before the event).

Last-Minute Drops:
If you cancel or drop out within 2 weeks of your scheduled event, you will not receive a credit for a future event.
Can I transfer my registration to another event or brand?
Yes! If you’re unable to attend your originally scheduled event, you can transfer your registration to another Athletx Sports Group tournament — even if it’s under a different brand like Baseball Youth or Softball Youth.
We’re happy to help you make the switch. Just reach out to us, and we’ll assist you in finding a suitable event. Our brands work closely together, and we’re flexible when it comes to helping families make the most of their registration.
