Mission Viejo Pony
Cooperstown Trip 2012
ABOUT THE TRIP
Mission Viejo Pony will be assembling a 12U team to play in the Cooperstown 2012
Summer Tournament the first week of August 2012. For those who have heard about
this week long event, it is the closest the boys will ever get to a “World Series” type of
championship tournament and it is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. The players
stay together in a dorm style room with two coaches to supervise. They play in a
minimum of 7 games and there is a finals championship at the end of the week. In
their off time, the boys get to hang out in the clubhouse, play games, go swimming
and take a train ride to tour the National Baseball Hall of Fame. All players are inducted
into the Youth Baseball Hall of Fame and become a part of history.
JOIN THE TEAM
Interested players should contact their team manager or league President, Rob Frias,
by October 1, 2011. Players will be invited to an evaluation day on Saturday,
October 8th at Oso Viejo Park (10am – 11am). We will be taking between 11 - 14
players on the trip to represent Mission Viejo Pony. We are looking for players who
enjoy playing baseball, have good attitudes and will contribute to our team.
The team will be formed by mutual agreement between the coaches, players and
parents by October 15th, 2011. If there is a high interest, we may send two teams.
FEES
The total fee for the week is $895 per player and includes room, board, uniforms, hats,
insurance, dedicated umpire, trading pins, bags and all tournament play. Flight is not
included but we will look for the best flight packages to book in the later part of spring.
A deposit of $450 will be due on November 1, 2012 and the final deposit will be due
on March 1, 2012 for the balance. We hope to get sponsors and earn fundraiser dollars
that will reduce the cost of each players trip.
PARENTS
We will have a travel agent putting a one week package together for parents or
families looking to make a vacation out of this trip. If you work for a company that
matches donations or has a sponsorship program, please contact Rob to discuss.
