    Son's Review = 4 (The Ugly - the bathrooms by the end; the Bad - the food; the Good - everything…read moreelse. My Review = 4 - The Ugly: Exiting Dreams Park after the Opening Ceremony and skills competition. This is the one time where everybody is there at the same time, and all leaving basically at the same time. Dreams Park should either bring in off-duty officers for traffic control and/or open up service entrances to exit. - The Bad: Concession pricing. It is all overpriced ($3 for a banana), to expansive for how much you get, or just tastes bad. No Drinking Fountains. The dugouts have them but the water flow is so low you basically have to kiss the dispenser to drink the water. Also, there are no drinking fountains anywhere that I saw for spectators. - The Good: Everything else. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The fields are in great condition. Also, since you are basically enclosed in the field there are great echos--and when a kid hits a home run it sounds awesome. Most fields are surrounded by hill so you can watch them from the outfield if you don't want to stay in the parent "dugout". The cost of the team photo package (approx. $104/player on our team) was well worth it. The cost to engrave balls & bats was also fair. Overall the facility has a great nostalgia vibe. Sponsor signage is limited to one small outside sign per field. Coaching Tips - Home Runs: probably a combination of 200' fields, minimal pitchers mounds, and Dreams Park supplies their own balls, Home Runs are the norm. You need at least a 5 run lead to feel a little comfortable - Defense: You do not want runners on base. When a home run comes you want the damage to be limited to just one run and not 3. Encourage you players to chase foul balls; practice double plays and baseball IQ scenarios, have your outfield 5-10' off the back wall--if it goes over their heads it's either a home run or bouncing off the wall and coming back to them - Offense: If it is not a home run it's a single unless the hit hugs the foul line. For the most part passed balls and wild pitches bounce back to the catcher so it is very difficult to steal home w/ a runner on 3rd. Remind your big hitters not to be a hero, and swing like normal--the home run(s) will come. Your players that are almost there in getting a home run in regular little league or tournament play will most likely get home runs here. - Know the Cooperstown specific rules. Something weird happened w/ a catcher interference call and balk call at the same time which after a rules review overturned a run scored by the opposing team. On the flip side at a later game the opposing coach forgot a team is allowed one "mulligan" balk call per game and our runners advanced on a first balk call. Parent Tips - Have the parents doing the play book, GameChanger, and highlights sheet sit next to each other because they will need each other's help - We made a swag bag of a lot of the checklist item that a few of the parents who drove up brought with them (i.e. towels, bed sheets, pillow covers, deodorant, games, etc.) - One of the dads volunteered to be a dugout dad and he took care of getting the ice, laundry service, and misc. small things for the coaches so the coaches could focus on the kids. The dugout dad did not spend the night. - The larger restaurants in the area can handle a party of 50 or 70. We met together for lunch before registration in order to all come into together. - We setup a sign-up genie to volunteer supply water, sport drinks, etc. for the boys and coaches. There are two Wal-Marts nearby and I picked up my items on the way into town. - Bring water and food for yourself and family. Though you see many signs saying you cannot bring outside food & drink I never saw it enforced, and if they do you can leave it in the car and go there when you need it. - If you have no one that is experienced with the playbook, I would recommend some people practice it with a recorded game on GameChanger, or follow allow with a live game. - The Closing Ceremony is not from 6-9, but 6 to 6:40. You have time to go some place for dinner. - Remind your player to flush and lift the toilet seat up if all they're doing is peeing. My son's take-away for others is go to the bathrooms before 7am because you never know what you're going to get after. As for me, I used a single person bathroom after a player came out and the toilet wasn't flushed, there was pee all over the seat, and I had to clean it up.

    First off my kids team won every single game. The umps are fair and consistent. The food is…read morephenomenal at dreams park. It's very fairly priced especially the water bottles . It's not like they charge you 3 dollars for a banana or something which I really appreciated after spend thousands of dollars on this trip. Don't worry about the rain because they have great plans in place and delays and cancellations are basically non existent. Traffic is not an issue . After opening ceremony I just cruised out of the facility's which I loved , no waiting without moving a single inch for over an hour, just smooth sailing thanks to the helpful staff directing traffic . My son said the food they served him was like eating at a Gordan Ramsay restaurant. The eggs were not powdery or watery , they were fluffy and fresh made from cage free eggs. Which was cool considering how expensive this trip was . My son said he ample time to use the showers with no crowds and all the batting cages were utilized on a first come , first use system with no time limit for a team . But they had sooooo many cages that everyone got a turn! If you're nervous about coming here don't. Here at dreams park you and your 12u kid will be "living the dream"
