Complete information is below in a press release from Ballparks of America:
With the summer baseball season ending and the school year ramping up, a brand-new family event will take the fields at Ballparks of America on 
two beautiful August weekends. With the goal of passing  on the love of baseball, Ballparks invites athletes and 
one of their biggest fans to spend a weekend at “The Tradition” eating, sleeping, and living baseball in an entirely new way. 

The Tradition is the first of its kind to be offered at Ballparks. Over three days on campus, the athletes will play on assigned teams for competitive games, be able to compete in skills competitions and a Home Run Derby while still getting the chance to spend one-on-one time with their role model. 

While The Tradition is held as a father-son event, Ballparks of America will welcome any combination of  athlete-adult to the experience. Moms, uncles, cousins, coaches, neighbors, mentors – The Tradition of baseball comes in all different forms and lives on in the bonds made over a game of catch. 

“Imagine playing catch with Dad or wiffle ball with Mom and at the same time sizing up competition from players all around the country,” says Ballparks of America General Manager Scott Bailes. “Tying in relationpships with baseball is what this sport is all about, and we can’t wait to see it happening on our campus.” 

The Tradition will be held two different weekends in August on the 19th-21st and the 26th-28th. Participants will be able to stay in the Team Suites, eat in the Club House and experience the Ballparks of America campus to its fullest – from Operation Laser Tag to the new ice cream parlor, The Sweet Spot. In the evening, kids and adults will have the chance for a competitive game or two of wiffle ball under the lights. Both weekends 
will offer memories that will last a lifetime – for the athlete and the one who loves to watch them play.  For more information about specific age groups, pricing and more visit the Ballparks of America website at ballparksofamerica.com.
