The All-Ripken Games are open for players in the 8u-14u age groups. 

Will we combine age groups?  

The 8u and 9u age groups will play together, as will the 13u and 14u age groups. All other age groups will not be playing together; however, this may be subject to change. 

If we do combine age groups not listed above, we will notify those players prior to combining the age groups. 

Age Determination

Age group classification will remain the same as All-Ripken Games Summer events. A player’s age group for the All-Ripken Futures Games will be determined by their age as of April 30, 2024.

Is there a lodging requirement for this event?  

Futures Games has a lodging requirement. In order to participate in these tournaments, players are required to book lodging through Oakwood Lodging Group. Please read our lodging policy to avoid additional fees.

How much is the deposit?  

The deposit will be 30% of the full amount due and is non-transferable or refundable. This is the minimum due at the time of registration. The remaining balance will be due 45 days prior to the event. 

How are players invited?

Players can secure an invitation to the All-Ripken Futures Games by being selected by All-Ripken scouts and coaches. Our staff will be on-site for each event actively scouting players and determining the top players based on their performance.

What is your refund policy?  

All monies paid towards Ripken Experience are non-transferable and non-refundable. Credits to future tournaments are provided if you do not play your guaranteed number of games. View Credit & Refund Policy. 

How many games will be played?  

Every team will play a minimum of four games, including three pool play games and at least one bracket game.  

*This is subject to change. 

How is playing time determined?  

Each player will be guaranteed at least one full game at their primary position over the course of the event. However, this does not mean all innings at the primary position will be played during the same game. 

How much can I expect my player to pitch?  

Innings will be spread evenly among all pitchers on the roster, with the coach reserving the right to adjust pitching limits based on performance. 

What is the Player Evaluation?  

Every player will be evaluated throughout the event in three different forms by their coaches: during team practices, evaluation drills, and gameplay. 

How is the batting order created?  

Your coach will implement a rolling batting order to ensure that all players receive an equal number of at-bats. 

What color pants and socks should I wear?  

We ask that all players bring white pants to match the uniforms and their fellow teammates. Additional merchandise will be available for purchase later this summer. 

What is included for my player?  

Each player will receive two jerseys (one home, one away), a team hat, and a commemorative ring. 

When will the detailed schedule be released?  

The game, practice, and overview schedule for each event will be available two weeks prior to the event. 

How will teams be determined?  

Teams will be based on age group and the primary position chosen during registration. 

Can I request to play on the same team as another player?

If you played with another player during a previous All-Ripken event and would like to play with them again, please reach out to a Ripken Baseball staff member. We will do our best to accommodate these requests, but no guarantees can be made that players will play on the same team together.
