We're honored to announce that Ripken Baseball's All-Ripken Games have been named a 2024 SportsTravel Award Winner today as "Best New Event." While team participation remains a cornerstone of Ripken Baseball, the All-Ripken Games have created a unique and exciting opportunity for individual players and their families to play at iconic venues like Cooperstown All Star Village and our Ripken Experiences. As we wrapped up our season earlier this month, the demand for All-Ripken continues to soar. In 2024, we expanded to 12 four-day events, including two outside of Ripken facilities. And this December, we’ll host the inaugural All-Ripken Futures Games in Panama City Beach. Thank you to SportsTravel Magazine & the TEAMS Conference & Expo for the recognition!

The All-Ripken Games have taken off in year number two! The lessons learned, memories made, and new friendships forged are unique to All-Ripken, where teams are constructed for one tournament over four days. Talented young players come together from different backgrounds, experiences, skills, and personalities. New bonds form every week on the field and in the stands. As you can see in this video, the results are magical! All-Ripken allows individual players and their families to experience many of the world's best youth facilities, including The Ripken Experience™. This year's schedule features 12 tournaments in 10 states, including two of our most popular All-Ripken events happening over Labor Day Weekend at Cooperstown All Star Village and The Ripken Experience™ Aberdeen. Thanks to all the coaches, players, parents, and families who make All-Ripken a special event across the country. More to come! #youthsports #baseball

When Josh Harris and David Blitzer created Unrivaled Sports, it wasn’t just a catchy name. “I think that Josh and David saw that the youth sports industry was highly fragmented,” said Amanda Shank, executive vice president of Unrivaled Sports. “There was an opportunity to unify the best-in-class operators, venues, experiences and create something for athletes and their families that felt really special.”
