America’s Park LLC announced that it will build and open the largest youth baseball facility in the U.S. in Mooresville by 2012. The park will host 8-13 year old baseball players from around the country and their families as they participate in America’s game.
“This will be one of the most significant youth sports development projects in the country,” said Chris Carney, Town of Mooresville Commissioner and Mayor Pro Tem. “It will not only have a major impact on our economy, but also on the kids who get to play in the park. We welcome them to Mooresville.”
America’s Park officials project that the facility will bring about 80,000 players, coaches and family members to Mooresville each year during the summer months. The park will host week-long tournaments for 12 weeks from June through August.
“The real winner here is youth baseball,” said Lou Presutti, principal in America’s Park and founder of Cooperstown Dreams Park. The new park will allow more teams to play in a family friendly environment patterned from the Cooperstown facility which turns away some 3,000 teams of 12 year-olds a year.
America’s Park will draw teams from all over the U.S. to play in the week-long tournaments. The demographics show that there are currently 120,000 11 year-old All Star teams in the U.S. In addition, there are about 126,000 youth baseball leagues in America and each league has an All Star team at each age level. As a result, there are 252,000 11-12 year old All Star Teams each year, according to statistics provided by America’s Park.
