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!"
--Missouri Revolution
"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."
--Diamond Dusters, WV
"Our team really enjoyed the tournament all the way around: the format (gold, silver, bronze brackets), when the games were scheduled (allowing for fun activities), 90 minute games finish the inning, the proximity and quality of the fields, the quality of Triple Crown personnel and umpires, and the quality of teams that attended. We are definitely coming back next year. Thank you Elliott and thanks to your staff for a great job!"
