    So this year, we decided to head to Myrtle Beach to the Ripken Experience. We did the week long…read moretournament and everyone made a vacation out of it. The fields are absolutely awesome. It's an experience I'm so glad my son got to experience and I got to coach at. Everything was immaculate. Very clean. The staff was phenomenal. Couldn't have been any more helpful. The onsite photography company, Glossy Finish, was on their game. They got action shots of my son that I could never get. So why only 3 stars??? Before the tournament, we had a coach's meeting. At the meeting, we have the head umpire go over everything and tell us how "approachable" the umpires are and that they're "AAA" umpires. Ok. Great. Now in my 25 years of coaching, I may have had 3 arguments with an umpire. My goal is to get these players ready for HS. We had 2 catchers with us. In game 2, our other catcher started. Wound up getting very labored in the heat. We switch catchers during the inning to get him some rest. He leads off when we get up. I notice when he gets to first, he's breathing EXTREMELY heavy. I ask for time and ask to speak to the umpires. The plate umpire responds "What's the issue?" I was like. The kid has heat exhaustion and his hyperventilating. Can we get a medic. He actually says... "You need to discuss that with your coach. " I responded, "Don't you work here? How would he know how to get a medic here??? Can we get someone here before this kid passes out?" The whole time, the field umpire could care less and didn't even take a step towards the poor kid to see what his condition was. Ultimately, he got medical attention, but these 2 guys, 1 of which we wound up having almost every game, were the most unapproachable human beings I've ever met. Even the other team commented to me, "What was that about?" I'm still confused. The rest of the week went fine, I knew what kind of person I was dealing with officiating wise and just went about our business. All in all, a great facility to play baseball.

    **** We just…read morecompleted our final games of the 2026 tournament, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing. Over the course of two evenings, our team had the same two umpires, one identified as **Guy**, and there were numerous missed calls that significantly impacted play. There were multiple incorrect safe/out calls and inconsistent ball and strike calls, to the point that even the opposing team's GameChanger reflected what should have been the correct calls. What was even more concerning was the response we received when these issues were brought to tournament personnel. We were met with comments such as, *"What do you expect us to do?"* We understand that youth sports are emotional and that no official is perfect. Our family has been involved in youth baseball for many years and has participated in tournaments hosted by many different organizations. While bad calls happen, the combination of repeated officiating issues and the attitude displayed by tournament staff made this one of the most unprofessional experiences we have encountered. We hope the organization reviews these concerns and takes steps to improve the experience for future players and families. Youth athletes deserve better.
