__ A CABA-SANCTIONED YOUTH BASEBALL TOURNAMENT __
CABA (Continental Amateur Baseball Association)
[ The tournament where the likes of Alex Rodriguez and Todd Helton have played. ]
The tournament, which will be held in Wenatchee, Washington, is scheduled for July 24-July 29, 2012, and will be having participating teams from Vancouver, BC, Washington, Idaho, Oregon, California, Nevada, Wyoming and Arizona.
With CABA baseball being a great organization to play a tournament in, teams are actually competitive and serious about playing baseball.
This is real talent being developed at a young age. You only get better by playing teams better than you.
This is indeed a great investment for parents to make into their boys personal and professional development as a worthwhile citizen.
You could consider this as a vacation, because when the teams travel, you (family members) can treat this as your summer vacation to spend quality time with your sons.
One of the great things about getting your sons involved in these CABA baseball tournaments (where the likes of Alex Rodriguez and Todd Helton have played), is the fact that coaches and parents want places that are affordable to travel and family orientated.
With the 2012 season coming up, we’ll be taking the tournament to Wenatchee in Washington, which offers nice summer weather and is located on the Columbia River.
Other benefits to be in Wenatchee to include every day temperatures of 80 degrees that do not lead to heat exhaustion, wonderful baseball complexes, water sports and other great family fun activities all around.
Besides, dining and hotels are affordable, a family of four can do this as a vacation instead of flying to Disneyworld and spending $5k in one week.

ABOUT CONTINENTAL AMATEUR BASEBALL ASSOCIATION (C.A.B.A.)
Continental Amateur Baseball Association (CABA), launched the initial season in 1984, was the brain-child of Ron Golden and Roger Tremaine who had the vision of starting a new more user-friendly youth baseball organization. Its then and now is to provide more teams the opportunity to participate at the national level.
As the new kid on the block at that time, it was incumbent upon them to develop a program that would offer real alternatives, so the C.A.B.A. was the innovator in providing national level events for single age levels 9-18. In addition, the C.A.B.A. initiated round robin play leading to a double elimination championship bracket.
These seem almost standard procedure in today’s youth baseball world, but in 1984, it was a revolution. Since that time, many thousands of teams from virtually every state, along with Puerto Rico, Panama, Guam, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and the Dominican Republic have participated in C.A.B.A. World Series events.
In addition, hundreds of players that have since gone on to play at the professional league have played in C.A.B.A. World Series events, including C.A.B.A. Graduates of the Year such as Alex Rodriguez and Todd Helton.
