List of fields and pool play sites (also videos of fields) for teams to pick from for Motor City Classic - Updated 11/19/2024 for 2025 tournament - Text or call Matt Sandles at 248-752-8185 with any questions. Click this link! Pick one site for your team!

2025 Motor City Classic: Pool play sites to pick from for each age group! Updated November 24th, 2024. More fields will be added as time goes on.

This is a reminder that each team needs to pick one of these pool play sites. You will remain there for pool play. The only way you could have to travel is if you advance to the playoffs.

I have included videos showing some of the venues for you to look at.

Please text Matt Sandles at 248-752-8185 regarding picking pool play sites and in regards to picking game times. Both pool play sites and game time choices will be on a first-come, first-serve basis and are subject to change due to the number of teams at a pool play site. If game times are important to you, please make sure to confirm them with Matt Sandles prior to the schedule being released. This is very important. We do not want to be making changes to the schedule if possible once the final schedule is released in early July 2025.

Sunday's playoffs will all be in Metro Detroit no matter what pool play site you pick.

Reminder: 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, and 13U are 3GG (weather-permitting). 14U and 15U are 4GG (weather-permitting). 16U and 17/18U are 5GG (weather-permitting). This is all prior to the playoffs.

First place teams in each age group will get a team trophy and rings. Second place teams in each age group will get rings. In addition, the first place team in each age group will win a refund plus a free (comped) entry to the 2026 tournament.

VERY IMPORTANT! If you see a pool play site that you want but was offered to another age group that does not match your team, let me know and I will see what I can do for you. This is only if the site says it has room still. If it is full, it is full.

More pool play site choices will be added throughout the year. You can always switch to a new one that still has room. Just confirm with me that you are in the one of your choice at any given time.

Please note that these prices could change slightly at a later time.

Once a schedule is released, there are absolutely no refunds. Any refund requests before that will take many factors into account including the tournament director's discretion. The schedule will be released approximately two weeks prior to the beginning of the tournament.

This list goes in sequential order.: 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, and 17/18U
