Welcome to the Gopher State Rec Championships!
Welcome to the 22nd Annual Gopher State Rec Baseball Championships powered by the St. Paul Saints!
About 22 years ago, the MYAS realized that there were some individuals that participated in their local in-house programs and didn’t have either the time, resources or want to play traveling baseball. At the end of the season, they simply hung up the gear. We recognized a need to administer an end-of-theseason tournament for these teams and thus, the Gopher State Rec Baseball Championships were born! This event was designed for the to be the premier in-house Minnesota State Tournament.
Gopher State Rec is comprised of true recreational teams from community-based programs in an effort to create a BIG TIME event for non-travel teams.
Our mission as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization is to continue supporting the youth baseball communities of Minnesota. At every playing site over the weekend, local youth baseball organizations are dedicating their volunteers to field maintenance, concessions and other on-site responsibilities. In return, the Host Groups receive all concessions and admissions revenue to support their programs. We thank all host organizations for donating their time and efforts.
Each year, youth sports organizations raise over $3 million by hosting MYAS events.
Congratulations to all participants! Enjoy the weekend!
