(Reading, PA) - Rip It Baseballtown Charities will host weekend showcases to be played at the Double-A ballpark of the Philadelphia Phillies, FirstEnergy Stadium. Teams that enter will play two games versus an opponent of similar skill level on the professional field. The showcase is open to all teams within the age classification. Space is limited!

14U: July 31st-August 2nd

16U: August 7th - August 9th

18U&19U: August 14th - August 16th

A showcase format allows a schedule to be set in advance and the opportunity to make sure the games are evenly matched. Feedback will be requested from the coaches to make sure the type and ability of teams are appropriately matched.

All games will be played on the weekends at FirstEnergy Stadium. Space will be limited. Rip It Baseballtown Charities will provide umpires. Each team will please provide two game balls per game (Baseballtown Charities will supplement with additional game balls as necessary). Select food and drink concessions stands will be open for purchase. There will be no admission fee and, as always, parking will be free.
