Tournaments

April 22-23, 2023

In October 2022 we lost one of our former coaches, Ryan Hendricks. Ryan had an impact on so many young athletes here at Lightning as well as with PA Xtreme and West Bradford Little League. His excitement for the game was unmatched. You heard it in his many catch phrases, such as "Hats and Bats", "Down Two", and of course, "Everybody Hits." The Lightning organization would like to give back to the Hendricks family by way of donating all proceeds from this tournament to Ryan's children, Taylor and Bailey. Unexpected loss of a spouse and parent leaves not only a trail of broken hearts, but a large financial loss to the family, and we hope to be able to assist in whatever way we can.

The tournament cost is $600 per team, payable by check to Lionville Youth Association. Proof of insurance is required. There is no pay at the plate, as the umpires are donating their time. This is a 12U B/C tournament with a 4GG (3 pool games Saturday and single elimination Sunday). We will do our best to properly match teams for pool play. Medals will be provided for first and second place. There is a snack stand onsite.

Our fields are located at 34 Devon Drive, Exton, PA (Fields B and J) as well as Zulu field across the street at Downingtown East High School. After registration you will receive an email with further details about the tournament logistics. Thank you for your support of the Hendricks family.
