Donation protected
The 12U Ponte Vedra Thunder baseball team has been selected to play at Cooperstown All-Star Park. The week of June 3, the Thunder will compete against more than 75 other 12U teams from across the country.

Cooperstown All Star Village is a world-class family baseball resort located near the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.  It marks the first time that a team from the Ponte Vedra Athletic Association has made the pilgrimage to the birthplace of baseball.

“This will be an opportunity to complete against teams from across the country in a setting that celebrates the game of baseball,” said Thunder head coach Terrance Freeman, who previously coached for USA Baseball.

The team will compete in pool games, for seating purposes, on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, with a single elimination tournament beginning Wednesday.

Aside from the game action, the Thunder will participate in various skills competitions. During other free time, the boys will enjoy pin trading and playing various pickup games in the open fields with the other 100-plus teams. They also will have the opportunity to visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

The 12u Thunder consist of players from Ponte Vedra and surrounding areas. 

Team fundraising efforts for this lifetime experience are ongoing, with proceeds aiding in players transportation to and home from New York, as well as registration fees.  The team appreciates any financial support from the community and sponsors.
