West TN Healthcare Sportsplex

[jackson18]

The West Tennessee Healthcare Sportsplex, a 17-field youth baseball, softball, and adult softball complex will open August 25. The BancorpSouth Classic is a USSSA state qualifier for ages 9-14. Other fall tournaments are slated for Sept 8-10 and Sept 22-24.

 

The complex features five 200-foot fields. Three are skinned infields and can be utilized for baseball or softball.

 

The five 250-foot fields are baseball only. While three of the 300-foot fields are baseball only, the other four 300-foot fields are skinned and can be used for both baseball and adult softball.

 

The complex is situated adjacent to Interstate 40 and is the anchor for a new 50+ acre retail complex. Pringles Park, home of the West TN Diamond Jaxx is also part of the development.

 

This Fall's tournaments will be considered somewhat of a "soft opening" and will be limited to six teams per age group. The full 2007 schedule will be released in November and will be set up to allow 12-14 teams per age group.

 

Local leagues in Jackson will utilize the park during the week.

Folks, this is one of the finest parks in the State, if not the entire country. Played there this past fall (and while the park was not yet complete) the fields were great, officials did a good job.

 

We'll be back this spring and summer. If you can make this trip, plan on at least one in this fine new facility.
