The scenic beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the challenge of great baseball is a truly memorable experience. This small mountain town offers shopping, dining, and entertainment options galore... the FUN doesn't stop when the game is over. Since we play in a ski resort community (with a limited number of fields), we use fields up and down the Yampa Valley. Please note that teams travel to Craig, & Hayden. We recommend lodging in Steamboat Springs and making day trips to all outlying fields.

TRIPLE CROWN SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD:

Triple Crown - Colorado Baseball launched its Sportsmanship Program in 2006. This program's goal is to emphasize positives around the ballfield and recognize young players who make it a priority to display positive character traits. Our thanks to GH Pin Company (www.ghpins.com) for partnering with Triple Crown to sponsor the Sportsmanship Program.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE TRIPLE CROWN SPORTSMANSHIP AWARDS:

At the start of each Triple Crown - Colorado qualifying tournament, head coaches will be given (2) Sportsmanship Award pins. Coaches will be asked to watch for extraordinary sportsmanlike acts by players on opposing teams (not their own teams) and to award the pins during that weekend's tournament. The pins will be a challenge to get because we should all expect a basic level of sportsmanship from all players. If players focus on sportsmanship but don't get pins during a weekend, the core goals will still be achieved. The real long-term reward is in playing the game with the right frame of mind.

RATIONALE FOR TRIPLE CROWN SPORTSMANSHIP PROGRAM:

Triple Crown Baseball wants to focus on something positive in the face of increasing talk about negativity in youth sports. Given the fact that our Colorado Baseball Series involves over 1,800+ teams, the implementation of the award program is massive. We lack the ability to evaluate every game/every player with our own staff. We want the teams to evaluate opposing player behaviors and reward them accordingly. By having coaches award pins to opposing players, we hope to create an ongoing awareness of, focus on, and respect for sportsmanship.

​PARENTS AND COACHES:

Please have fun with this and let players know that sportsmanlike behaviors are as commendable as base hits, blazing fastballs and diving stops.

Check-in at your site one hour before your first game.
