EVENT DETAILS

What is the All State Showcase?

The All-State Games will showcase players in Minnesota who have been nominated throughout the season by their coaches as Top Players. Players will be nominated by their coaches for displaying great overall effort and tournament performance throughout the season as well as displaying great sportsmanship. Players will be placed on balanced teams with other players from MN and each team will play 2 exhibition games against other teams from the same age group.  This event will be both competitive and fun for the players, coaches, fans, and umpires.

Coaches/Managers will get an email following the qualifying tournaments to the email address listed as the Manager for the team on USSSA.  Once players are nominated by coaches, the parent/guardian will get an email to the email address associated with the player on USSSA.

Who?

12U-18U players on a MN USSSA Roster are eligible.  The age divisions at the All-State Games will be consistent with the age groups played during the 2026 Summer Season. Nominated players who register and participate will receive an All State Games jersey, and more!

For this event we will offer Player Trading Cards.  We supply the first pack of 18 cards at no cost to the player.  Parents have the option to purchase additional packs of cards.  These will be distributed at check-in.  Players will trade cards at the event, similar to trading pins.  In order to receive the cards, the parent/guardian of each player will need to click the link below to complete the information and upload the picture for the card.
