Dome Ball Tournaments
Winter Development players will have first priority in joining our Dome Teams winter tournaments. Each team will compete in 2 S&C Winter Tournaments. These tournaments are all 1 day tournaments with 3 or 4 game guarantees. Locations are typically in the southern half of the metro. Teams will be coached by our BPFA winter development coaches. Tournaments are NOT required, however they are included in the winter development cost. Winter tournaments are a great part of the development in the offseason!
