South Jeffco Sports Association ("South Jeffco") has moved all of its baseball tournament play to the
"Greatest Show on Dirt", the Continental Amateur Baseball Association ("CABA"), beginning with the 2012 season. South Jeffco Baseball had previously operated it tournaments under the USSSA flag.
"This represents a great opportunity for kids not only in our program, but also for other teams up and down the Colorado Front Range to participate in first class, exciting events against the top competition around the region. We recognize that teams have choices for tournament play and we believe our tournaments will continue to be the premier events for all ages and levels," said South Jeffco Baseball Director, Jeff Barnes. "It also provides an opportunity to earn the right to compete against some of the top programs in the country, and in the world through CABA's World Series and National Championship events."
In 2011, 437 teams competed in the four tournaments hosted by South Jeffco Baseball. Teams from all over Colorado as well as from Wyoming and Nebraska participated.
CABA is generally referred to as the gold standard for youth baseball tournament play. It hosted 22 international teams from Puerto Rico, Panama, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Canada and Mexico participating in its World Series and National Championship events, joining teams from 35 states that participated in CABA leagues and tournaments.
"I applaud our Baseball Director, Jeff Barnes, and his team of volunteers for the thorough evaluation process they employed when we started comparing options for our baseball tournaments, which have become the hallmark of our program. It was months of work for those individuals and they left no stone unturned in seeking out the best affiliation for our kids," said Paul Sheehy, South Jeffco Sports Association president. "Moving these high profile tournaments where we host thousands of kids and hundreds of teams to a CABA affiliation truly raises the bar and offers teams from across the Rocky Mountain region the opportunity to enter an elite World Series and National Championship qualifying pool."
