Intents for the 9u-14u AAU Baseball Grand National Championships (June 18th-24th at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex) are rolling in, and the lineup of states that will be represented is nothing short of impressive. From east to west and north to south, the entire breadth of the United States will be on-hand at the 2017 crown jewel tournament for AAU Baseball.

Among the territories represented thus far include: Alabama, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, with many more teams still expected to commit to playing over the next several months. As in years past, the tournament organizing committee will do everything in its power to design a schedule that pairs teams against fresh competition (at least during pool play) in an effort to limit overlap of opponents from the regular season.

Teams interested in capitalizing on the opportunity to play against the diverse field of competition at the 2017 Grand Nationals are urged to file intent and register soon as space is very limited this year.
