History
2009 will be the 7th year of the Triple Crown Sparkler tournament. In 2008, 500 teams participate along with 1800 girls participating in our Showcase All-Star games each evening at Christopher Complex. All-Americans were then selected and showcased Thursday evening including our TV game with the "best of the best" that aired all across the country. We also continued our Sparkler Opening Ceremonies Concert featuring the Kellie Pickler with our Sparkler Idols opening for her. Teams in attendance were displayed prior to the concert and had the time of their lives.
Event Testimonials
"I have to let you know that this was the first time I had been to the sparkler and it was everything the people said it was. It was the best run tournament I have been involved with in 10 years of coaching. I was very impressed with everything from the fields, the umpires and the people at the fields to answer questions."

"I wanted to thank you and tell you how grateful we were to participate in the Sparkler this year. It was with out a doubt the most professionally run tournament we have played all year. We appreciate all that you did to arrange the discount fun events and the overall experience of all 3 of our teams there was totally positive! You can count us in for next year at the Sparkler!"

"I am the coaches wife and our daughter went to Virginia Tech on a softball scholarship from 1998 to 2001. We have been to a lot of tournaments through the years, but we have never been to a tournament that has been so informative and helpful with anything and everything, as this one has! You guys have done a great job and I wanted to let you know it. I don't think people stop and think how difficult it is to put on a tournament of this size. We do appreciate all that you have done!! Please forward this to the entire committee, our hats are off to you all."
