In analyzing the landscape of youth baseball, we’ve discovered opportunities currently afforded 14U players are lacking and we’re providing the solution.

We’re bringing the excitement and opportunity of the little diamond along with the players as they transition to the big. For years, the road to the national stage has run from Williamsport, Pennsylvania and the Little League World Series to Omaha, Nebraska and the College World Series. However, as 13 and 14-year-olds transition to longer base paths and distant fences, they lose the opportunity to enjoy the thrill afforded by those two venues. We’re making Las Vegas, Nevada the next stop for those players.

America’s Junior World Series will fill the void. For players seeking the glory of national competition and the chance to showcase their talent against the country’s best, we’re offering a way.

No other current tournament seeks to identify each state’s top individual players and assemble them on one team. While national tournaments recognize towns and their teams, our players will play for state pride, determining once-and-for-all, which state possesses baseball’s top talent. All the while, players will establish themselves not just as one of their town’s, but as one of their state’s best.

Ever-conscious of the financial restrictions facing parents and teams today, we realize that the opportunity to travel for tournaments is not available to all families. All current opportunities for 14U players to shine on a national stage come with substantial financial commitments. The tryout fee is the only participation-related cost incurred with our tournament. Should you be selected to your state’s team, your travel to, and accommodations in Las Vegas for America’s Junior World Series will be provided.
