Cooperstown Backyard Classic Baseball

The Cooperstown Backyard Baseball Classic has been bringing youth teams and families to play in Cooperstown since 2008. It was created to keep a Cooperstown baseball trip affordable, without the stress that has crept into youth baseball. The tournaments are for teams that want a low-stress, family-oriented weekend of baseball.

Games are played at fields across the area, including the Clark Sports Complex, Cooperstown Little League, Hartwick, Doubleday Field, Laurens High School, Edmeston High School, Milford and the Oneonta Little League, all minutes from the Baseball Hall of Fame. The goal is simple: give each family memories that last a lifetime.
