Start the Year with a Bang in Orlando

There’s something electric about kicking off the baseball year with a bat in your hand and the sun on your back. Battle of the Bats lives up to its name—bringing energy, early-season edge, and a competitive spirit that ignites players for the season ahead. Held across Greater Orlando Baseball’s top-tier complexes, this event offers a chance for your player to get real-game reps while most teams are still shaking off winter rust.

Whether your child’s team is off or you’re just looking for more innings, GPC forms balanced, coach-led teams made entirely of guest players—no politics, no pressure. Just baseball, blue skies, and the opportunity to sharpen skills early. It’s the perfect mix of game action, skill development, and memory-making for youth players eager to start strong.

What’s Included with Registration

• Paid, background‑checked coach
• Equal playing time for all players
• Focus on skill development, not just wins
• MVP awards to celebrate effort and performance

Required: Extra Innings Pass (Player Uniform & Insurance Package)

All players must have a valid Extra Innings Pass to participate in any Guest Player Connect tournament. This pass provides the essential items needed for eligibility and insurance coverage.

What’s included:

• Official GPC uniform — performance jersey and fitted hat (yours to keep)
• Player insurance — required coverage for participation in all GPC events

The Extra Innings Pass only needs to be purchased once while the insurance is active. If your player already has a valid pass with current insurance coverage, there’s no need to repurchase.

Please note: The Extra Innings Pass is not included with tournament registration and must be purchased separately if your player does not already have one.

Who This Is For

• Players aged 9–14 (10U–14U)
• Skill levels 2–5 (developing to elite)
• Families who want meaningful reps and a well-run experience—not pressure or politics
