Register Early to secure your spot OR pencil in to show your interest in coming
The Styers Athletic Complex at Grand Park​ features seven large multipurpose fields and two youth fields. All have synthetic grass and lights and are designed to accommodate a variety of sports, including baseball, softball, lacrosse, soccer, and football. The complex also has a six-tunnel batting cage, plenty of parking and three towers for restrooms and concessions. Overflow games, if necessary, will also be played at the beautiful Ned Donkle Field Complex just a few miles from Grand Park.
When your athletes aren’t competing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, they’re still playing. With 60 miles of beaches, amusement, and water park rides, 2,000+ restaurants, free live music all over the place and endless attractions, athletes and fans of all ages are going to have fun in Myrtle Beach.
With world-class sports facilities, endless entertainment, and the finest Southern hospitality around, team bonding has never been this fun. Check out visitmyrtlebeach.com/things-to-do to find out more about fun-filled entertainment options at The Beach!
Our policy states that all teams outside of 90 miles are required to stay with our partnering hotels. This list can be found on the Softball World Series website under the hotels tab in the top right corner. As a Stay-To-Play event provider all teams AND individuals will complete the hotel lodging process through the event website, not directly with the hotel.
This policy requires teams to have at least 32 room nights through our hotels. If this cannot be met, then an alternate lodging fee will be added to the registration. Alternative lodging fees are $1300.00 per team and allow teams to stay wherever they want if paid.
Your team is guaranteed to play at least 5 games, weather permitting, but depending on your team’s success, you can play several more!
The official tournament schedule will be sent out and posted on our website one week before the tournament. An idea of what to expect:
Day 1: Pool Play games begin at 10:00 AM. The mandatory Coaches’ Meeting will take place around 8:30 AM for all teams, regardless of their first game time. Pool Play continues throughout the day.Â
Day 2: Pool Play games continue until completed. Skills Competitions may also take place on this day, depending on field availability.Â
Day 3: Bracket Play begins at the scheduled time. If Skills Competitions were not completed on Day 2, they will be held on Day 3.Â
Day 4: Bracket Play concludes. Championship games are typically played on this day.
Day 5 (If Scheduled): This is a rain day. Not all locations have this day built into the schedule, so please check your specific event dates. If weather delays occur, games may be pushed to this day instead of being played late into the night.Â
In the event of rain or lightning delays, you will be notified as soon as updates are available from the park and a new schedule is in place. Please be patient–if conditions allow, we will be prepared to play on the fifth day to ensure as many games as possible are completed.
If you need to cancel your registration, please follow the steps below:
This credit can be applied to any Athletx-hosted tournament, which you can find here:

The event insurance is different from your team’s limited liability policy required to play in the tournament.
For more information on team liability coverage, please visit chappellinsurance.com.
The event insurance offered during registration applies if Athletx Sports Group or the Softball World Series has to cancel your age group or the tournament for covered reasons. If this is the case, then if the event insurance is purchased, you will receive a refund instead of a future credit.
If the event insurance is not purchased, then teams will receive a credit toward a future Athletx Sports Group event that is valid for 24 months.
Teams are welcome to bring pins to exchange with other teams; however, there is no designated time set aside in the schedule specifically for pin trading. We recommend coordinating with other teams during Skills Competitions or downtime between games if you’d like to trade pins.
Every event has a gate fee. The standard gate fee for our events is $750 per team.
Yes! Tournament shirts will be available for pre-order, and you’ll receive both text and email communication when the pre-order process begins in the spring.
We strongly recommend pre-ordering, as shirts always sell out on-site.
Please note: All communication will be sent to the email and phone number of the person who registered the team. It is that individual’s responsibility to share pre-order information with parents and players.
Once your registration fee is paid, please note the following:
No cash, check, or credit card refunds will be issued for any reason, unless the event is canceled by the host due to low attendance or canceled due to inclement weather.Â
This policy applies to all registrations, regardless of the reason for withdrawal.
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, here’s what you need to know:
We will do everything reasonably possible to complete the event.
If an event is completely canceled due to weather or field conditions:
You will be given the option to transfer your registration to another Athletx Sports Group event in the upcoming season or the next season. Transfers are subject to event availability and registration deadlines.
OR if we cannot find an alternate event then we will issue a refund.
We are not responsible for travel, lodging, or any other expenses related to a canceled or relocated event.
Last-Minute Drops:
If you cancel or drop out within 2 weeks of your scheduled event, you will not receive a credit for a future event.
Can I transfer my registration to another event or brand?
Yes! If you’re unable to attend your originally scheduled event, you can transfer your registration to another Athletx Sports Group tournament — even if it’s under a different brand like Baseball Youth or Softball Youth.
We’re happy to help you make the switch. Just reach out to us, and we’ll assist you in finding a suitable event. Our brands work closely together, and we’re flexible when it comes to helping families make the most of their registration.
