Play at the best youth baseball complex in the country!
Centrally located in the Southeastern United States and just minutes south of Louisville, Kentucky, the Elizabethtown Sports Park is the premiere youth baseball complex in the country! The city of Elizabethtown, KY invested nearly $30 million to create a one-of-a-kind park that includes all the amenities you could ever want in a baseball tournament facility. Completed in July, 2012, this brand new park could be the closest your youth baseball player will be to playing on a major league field at their young age. Moms will love the Sports Park due to the shaded spectator seating, playgrounds at each pod for the little ones, clean, new family bathrooms, great concessions, covered tables, mist stations and more! This truly is the greatest place you’re team will play at and once you’ve been here one time you’ll want to come back again and again!
HiCast offers families who are unable to attend the Nationals, the opportunity for an up-close and LIVE look at their favorite player’s game! Learn more below

Admission to all of the Youth Baseball Nationals games is included in the team entry fees. There will be NO GATE FEE for the event! We encourage family and friends to come to the complex to cheer on the athletes and show their support.
Game balls will be provided for all games. Teams are to bring their own practice balls and any other necessary equipment (i.e. catcher’s gear, bats, gloves, etc.). Uniforms are NOT provided at the Nationals. Teams are to provide their own uniforms. Each player on a team should have a unique number displayed on their jersey.
Teams will be able to have ONE team cooler in their dugout during game play. During check-in, we will provide your team with a team cooler tag. This tag must be on the team cooler at all times to be allowed inside the park or dugout. Any cooler without this tag are not permitted. All other baseball and safety equipment are the responsibility of each team.

ONLY registered coaches and players are allowed on the field and inside the dugouts. Teams are NOT permitted to have a batboy/batgirl at any time. Registered coaches are required to be wearing their Nationals coach pass at all times in order to be allowed on the field of play and inside the dugouts.
The Nationals has a medical team that will be onsite for the duration of the event. It is important to remember that our medical team are not medical doctors. They will provide basic first aid, determine the severity of injuries and make recommendations as to whether or not a player should see a doctor or go to an emergency room. The staff are employees of the local hospital closest to the facility.
No warm-ups on the infields. All pre-game warm-ups will need to be made in the outfield grass. No soft-tossing into fences.
Parking is FREE and available at designated areas within the Elizabethtown Sports Park complex. There is limited parking in the lot closest to the baseball diamonds and it is common for that lot to be full. Additional overflow parking is available near the soccer and football complexes. Be prepared to arrive early should you need to walk from these complexes to the baseball area of the park. Limited shuttle service will be available between these lots, but we cannot guarantee that the shuttle will be available for your party when you arrive at the park. We are not responsible for any damaged vehicles, theft or loss of property.
There are no designated practice areas at the Elizabethtown Sports Park. However, teams are welcome to utilize any of the open areas at their discretion. There are batting cages available on-site at the complex. The batting cages should ONLY be used by teams yet to play their scheduled game for that day. If your team has completed all of their scheduled games for the day, then we ask that you refrain from using the cages for the remainder of that day to allow for other teams to prepare for their games.
