2025 New York All-State Games. This will be the our 2nd year for the NY All State Games.  We will be offering two locations and two playing levels for each date.  Our first event will be Long Island, NY on Aug 9 or 10th 2025 ( exact fields TBD, its currently listed at the same location we used last year).   The Upstate NY event location is TBD ( looking around Albany to Lake George area) and will take place Aug 16 or 17th 2025.  There will be separate events each day.   One on Saturday and one on Sunday at each location.   B class players have a choice between Saturday or Sunday.  A and C class players do not have a choice.  They must play on their designated day.  

This celebration of softball and the best and brightest players and teammates in NY is much more than just on-field games. Off-field entertainment is also being lined up for the events and may include face painting, a DJ and other festival-like features. We will have skills challenges and a home run derby. 

We learned so many things from our 2024 inaugural event and think 2025 will be an amazing event.    Saturday’s will be for the A/B classification of play and Sunday’s will be for the B/C classification of play.   There will be ONE home run derby for the entire weekend which will take place Saturday evening.   You will need to sign up for the home run derby prior to the event on a first come first serve basis.   The home run derby will be limited number of participants and there will be a separate registration for that.   If you are interested in participating please check the HR Derby box on your registration.    That does not guarantee you will get to participate.  It will only help us gauge the interest so we can try to accommodate as many players as possible.

The games will showcase players nominated throughout the 2025  season, who were rostered in USSSA qualifiers. Players will be nominated for displaying great overall effort and tournament performance throughout the season and great sportsmanship. To be eligible, players must be rostered on USSSA teams and play in an event.   Teams earn how many players they can nominate by their placement in USSSA qualifiers.   If you win a USSSA tournament you can nominate 6 of your players.  2nd place gets to nominate 5, 3rd place nominated 4 players, etc.   All teams can nominate 2 players for participating in a USSSA qualifier.  If your team does not play in a USSSA event we will consider player applications to help fill out team rosters if needed.   With that said, your team must have tried to participate but the event/s were either rained out or failed for lack of participation (  ie a 10u tournament was canceled because only 2 teams entered ).  For player applications please email [email protected].  This will be replace by a google form application soon.   

Nominations from the Fall 2024 Events will be sent to sent out in January.     

Players will be placed on balanced teams with other players from other teams that represent the state or Region.  Each team will play two exhibition games against teams from the same age group.  You will most likely be separated from the players on your travel team roster.   This will ensure you get to meet other players from different teams and form new friendships.
