YOUTH BASEBALL, AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL

YOUTH BASEBALL, AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL

Cooperstown All Star Village combines youth baseball with an unrivaled weeklong experience built for teams and families.

A LEGENDARY SETTING

Founded in 1999 in the birthplace of baseball, Cooperstown All Star Village was created to exclusively give 12U players a once-in-a-lifetime experience, complete with iconic fields, national competition, and Big-League energy. When the gates opened in 2004, it marked the beginning of a new era for youth baseball experiences, one where families stay on site, share the week together, and become part of every moment on and off the field.

ALL-IN. ALL WEEK

Big-League fields. On-site lodging and dining. Opening ceremonies and post-game celebrations. We bring it all together during one week, so players and families can experience it all side by side

THE ULTIMATE BASEBALL EXPERIENCE

Today, as part of the Ripken Baseball family, we remain guided by tradition, shaped by innovation, and grounded in a deep respect for the game. Twenty-two years in, we’re still creating unforgettable baseball experiences for young athletes across the country.
