MAVS BALLPARK DOWNTOWN DIAMOND DUEL 11U D2

                                        Thank You for choosing to play Mavs Ballpark!

                                                    We are 100% all Turf :) Which means we rarely rain out!

All Mavs Ballpark Tournaments are FIRST PAY/FIRST PLAY Your entry into an event is not complete until you have paid the entry fee and the gate fee, regardless of whether you have registered for the tournament. The tournament may sell out (and oftentimes does) prior to the payment deadline. 

                                 Payment is made on our website www.heroesbb.com                                          

We are one field and we only take 8 teams per tournament. Once we sell out payment is due to hold spot.                                                                        

All Mavs Ballpark Tournaments are $610 

$485 registration fee + $125 gate fee paid together at registration

Schedule Requests:

SCHEDULE REQUESTS MUST BE COMPLETED NO LATER THAN THE MONDAY PRIOR TO THE TOURNAMENT DATE.

Please submit all schedule requests using the Schedule Request tab on the event menu. 

We will take schedule requests until Monday 5:00pm prior to the event.

You can only block out a 4-hour block on Friday or Saturday that you cannot play!

Schedule requests that are more restrictive than a 4-hour "no play" block will be difficult to accommodate but we will do our best!

The schedule request is a request, not a guarantee.

If the Schedule Request tab is not showing on the event menu, that means we have begun scheduling the event already. 

When do schedules post?

Typically we post schedules on the Tuesday preceding the tournament weekend. (We do reserve the right to post on Wednesday's during the Fall Tournament Season when "Special Requests" are exceedingly high, and during the Spring Season when waiting on NCS Ranking Updates.)

Cooler Policy:

Outside food and drinks are not allowed, with the exception of team cooler for the dugouts. 

*Exceptions are made during extremely hot weather

We have a full concession stand (credit/debit accepted)

No alcohol (per city ordinance)

*We use evaporative coolers in the dugouts during excessive heat

Parking:

We have the row of parking closest to the field located on the Ballpark grounds. We also have access to the Lexus Parking Garage right beside the field. (If there is a Mavs Game or big concert they do sometimes charge to park there) See our website for map www.heroesbb.com 

Sportsmanship:

Each Head Coach is responsible for the sportsmanship of his entire team, both players and parents and also his assistant coaches (and fans). Please always make sure to demonstrate GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP so that these young athletes see a good example presented to them. Please remember, only Head Coaches talk with the umpires regarding questions, etc. (The two Head Coaches and the two Umpires only, no assistant coaches.) Assistant coaches must refrain from this and allow the Head Coach and the Umpire to work through any issues that may arise. 

Behavior at Events:

Mavs Ballpark has a Zero Tolerance policy towards disrespectful and adverse behavior. Any fan, parent, player or coach will be ejected from the event for adverse behavior towards a tournament official or umpire or another team or within teams.                                                              

 Anyone ejected must immediately leave the facility. 

We look forward to having you play with us at Mavs Ballpark!
