About Us
From our inception in 2006, formerly Hoosier Sports Academy, Pastime Tournaments has been on a fast track to hosting some of the top baseball tournaments across the country. 2006 brought ten tournaments between Indiana University, Parkland College and Oklahoma State University with just over 85 teams in attendance from 12-15 different states across the country. With the quality of events and a focus on providing teams with the ability to compete on top notch collegiate facilities, an overwhelming response from teams and collegiate coaches came in requesting that we expand our tournament locations.The Hoosier Sports Academy name was dropped after the 2006 season and "Pastime Tournaments" was born for 2007. The 2007 season saw a major expansion in tournament locations including events in/at WV, MO, Indiana University, University of Illinois, Arkansas State, Winthrop University, Oklahoma State University, Indiana State, Old Dominion University, Wright State University, Northern Illinois University, and the University of Evansville. With over 375 teams attending from 24 different states, and Canada, there were as many as 40 collegiate coaches scouting tournaments at any single event with most events seeing 15-20+ schools recruiting from teams in attendance.
The 2008 season saw much of the same success as Pastime Tournaments continued to improve events, provide baseballs to all teams attending, and see even more collegiate and professional scouts in attendance during tournaments. With nearly 600 teams attending tournaments events were hosted at Millersville University, Indiana University, Butler University, University of Indianapolis, University of Evansville, Wright State University, Winthrop University, University of Michigan, Oklahoma State University, Eastern Michigan University, Old Dominion University, Wichita State University and in WV and AZ as well. Participating programs reached from New York to Arizona covering over 30 different states from across the country and Canada.
The 2009 season concluded with an 18U National Championship event in Indianapolis, IN held at the AAA Pirates affiliate, Indianapolis Indians, home of Victory Field in front of nearly 500 fans and spectators. This event drew over 50 teams along and 2009 saw and hand full of tournaments break the 50+ teams attending mark with teams coming from all over the country once again. Pastime Tournaments was introduced as the hosting party of all Lids Indiana Bulls tournaments and with the addition there were over 1200 total teams attending tournaments through out the 2009 tournament season! Pastime events were represented in nearly 1/3 of the states across the country in 2009 as well.
