General Information
The Euclid, Ohio area will host its 26th annual Continental Amateur Baseball Associaton (CABA) High School World Series on July 20, 2012. The Managers Meeting will be held on July 19.
The CABA HSWS format is a round robin preliminary round of 16, 4 team divisions, followed by a double elimination championship bracket. Over 64 teams and 1200 players from the Midwest (Chicago to New York) along with Miami, Fla. will participate in this WorldSeries.
This is a series not to be missed. Why?
Each year the CABA HSWS draws coaches and scouts from over 125 colleges and universities, as well as scouts from Major League Baseball Clubs. Hundreds of college scholarships have been awarded to players from this world series, and milliions of dollars in signing bonuses have been earned from the pros.
The talent level of this Series is argueably the best in the country for an event of this type, and each year it gets better. Outstanding players from this series include such players as Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees; Josh Hamilton, Texas Rangers; Johnny Damon, Detroit Tigers; Todd Helton, Colorado Rockies and numerous others (Click Here for Full List). The future of the MLB begins, quite literally, in Euclid, Ohio. Large crowds are attracted to each host site to view these exciting games. Of coarse, none of this would be possible without tremendous community involvement. Each year our foundation of volunteers has grown in number to accomodate an ever increasing number of team participants. Many volunteers even go so far as to schedule a week of their vacation so that they mayparticipate.
With the help of these many volunteers, each venue raises the money necessary to conduct a world series of this quality. The CABA National Board of Directors has awarded the HSWS the most prestigous "Tournament of Excellence Award" for the twentieth consecutive year. We look forward to the 2011 Series and the challenges it brings, and we welcome all participating
players to the nation's best baseball.
