LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA
Welcome to Long Beach – Los Altos Youth Baseball & Softball
Long Beach is where the action begins and the fun never ends. From the regal Queen Mary and spectacular Aquarium of the Pacific to stirring Broadway shows, live music venues and hundreds ofexclusive dining destinations--all centrally located. Airport-close, a brief and pleasant cruise away from Catalina Island and a short distance from Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood and everything Southern California has to offer--Long Beach is the perfect destination!
Long Beach has been fortunate to be the cradle for many of professional sports' most revered players, and when it comes to the great games of baseball and softball, our city has been blessed with a wealth of legendary figures.
In addition to those who made their fame on the field, there have been hundreds of important off-the-field figures and supporters that have helped make Long Beach one of the country's leading baseball and softball cities.
Will the next Long Beach State Dirtbag All-American be playing in this tournament? Only time will tell. What we do know is that this will be a memorable tournament and we are excited to watch the games and watch the memories be made.
