There’s a first time for everything

We are sad to announce that the 20th Diamond Classic has been washed out this year. Players-please check in with your coaches.

We would like to note the cooperation of the coaches and patience of the participants while information was being analyzed starting on Wednesday. While we won’t be playing baseball this year, we are already looking forward to next year’s tournament.

21st Diamond Classic is Fast Approaching

Wow! How time flies and things grow! What started as a small 3 team invitational tournament in the late 1990’s has evolved to be recognized as one of the premier women’s baseball tournaments in the country. Over the decades we have seen more than 30 teams be a part of our event, showcasing some of the best in women’s baseball. This year’s event is shaping up to be extra special — with 8 teams and more than 100 players. This year’s tournament features more than a dozen players drafted into the newly formed Women’s Professional Baseball League as well as a Special Guest appearance by Jeneane Lesko, a member of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (1953-56). Join us May 23-25 at Fireman’s Field and Franklin Park in Purcellville, Virginia to catch all the action. Admission is FREE! Tournament details, including a schedule can be found on our website.
