FAQs

Important - Stay-To-Play Policy

Our policy states that all teams outside of 90 miles are required to stay with our partnering hotels. This list can be found on the Youth World Series website under the hotels tab in the top right corner. As a Stay-To-Play event provider all teams AND individuals will complete the hotel lodging process through the event website, not directly with the hotel.

This policy requires teams to have at least 32 room nights through our hotels. If this cannot be met, then an alternate lodging fee will be added to the registration. Alternative lodging fees are $1100.00 per team and allow teams to stay wherever they want if paid.

Your team is guaranteed to play at least 5 games, weather permitting, but depending on your team’s success, you can play several more!

Every team can include up to 2 players who meet the grade eligibility criteria on their roster. If a team exceeds this limit, they must participate in the age group above their current one. Failure to comply with this rule, resulting in more than 2 players above the specified requirements, will lead to immediate disqualification from the tournament.

Our rules state that one player must be born after January 1st of the calendar year of the event they participate in, and another player must be born within 30 days of the age cutoff.

If you need to cancel your registration, please follow the steps below:

  1. Please notify us immediately by emailing Tyler Fitch at [email protected]
  2. If your team has already booked hotels, please log in to your online lodging portal to complete the necessary cancellation steps. If you’re unsure how to do this, contact [email protected] for assistance.
  3. Per our Terms of Service, if you cancel your registration at any time, Athletx Sports Group will issue you a credit valid through the end of the 2026 season.

This credit can be applied to any Athletx-hosted tournament, which you can find here:

TEAM EVENTS:
Youth World Series – (9U-16U)
Youth Baseball Nationals – (9U-16U)
Game Day USA – (8U-18U)

INDIVIDUAL EVENTS:
Baseball Youth All-American Games – (3rd-9th Grade)
Game Day USA Junior All-American Games – (2nd-10th Grade)
Game Day USA All-Star Weekend – (8U-16U)

The event insurance is different from your team’s limited liability policy required to play in the tournament.

For more information on team liability coverage, please visit chappellinsurance.com.

The event insurance offered during registration applies if Athletx Sports Group or the Youth World Series has to cancel your age group or the tournament for covered reasons. If this is the case, then if the event insurance is purchased, you will receive a refund instead of a future credit.

If the event insurance is not purchased, then teams will receive a credit toward a future Athletx Sports Group event that is valid for 24 months.

Teams are welcome to bring pins to exchange with other teams; however, there is no designated time set aside in the schedule specifically for pin trading. We recommend coordinating with other teams during Skills Competitions or downtime between games if you’d like to trade pins.

To better serve our teams and spectators, we will no longer collect gate fees from individuals on site. Instead, we will be auto-drafting your $750.00 per team (covers your athlete and all spectators in your party) gate fee pass on 6/8/26. This will also allow free flow of passage in and out of the complexes without having to worry about gate pass lines, cumbersome on site payments, and other inconveniences. This gate fee is required for all teams, regardless of the number of games played. All gate fees must be paid prior to the start of the event.

Yes! Tournament shirts will be available for pre-order, and you’ll receive both text and email communication when the pre-order process begins in the spring.

We strongly recommend pre-ordering, as shirts always sell out on-site.

  • Pre-Order Price: $30
  • On-Site Price: $35

Please note: All communication will be sent to the email and phone number of the person who registered the team. It is that individual’s responsibility to share pre-order information with parents and players.

Once your registration fee is paid, please note the following:

  • No cash, check, or credit card refunds will be issued for any reason, unless the event is canceled by the host due to low attendance or canceled due to inclement weather. 

  • This policy applies to all registrations, regardless of the reason for withdrawal.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, here’s what you need to know:

  • We will do everything reasonably possible to complete the event.

  • If an event is completely canceled due to weather or field conditions:

    • You will be given the option to transfer your registration to another Athletx Sports Group event in the upcoming season or the next season. Transfers are subject to event availability and registration deadlines.

    • OR if we cannot find an alternate event then we will issue a refund.

  • We are not responsible for travel, lodging, or any other expenses related to a canceled or relocated event.

Last-Minute Drops:
If you cancel or drop out within 2 weeks of your scheduled event, you will not receive a credit for a future event.

Can I transfer my registration to another event or brand?
Yes! If you’re unable to attend your originally scheduled event, you can transfer your registration to another Athletx Sports Group tournament — even if it’s under a different brand like Baseball Youth or Softball Youth.

We’re happy to help you make the switch. Just reach out to us, and we’ll assist you in finding a suitable event. Our brands work closely together, and we’re flexible when it comes to helping families make the most of their registration.
