JOIN THE 2027 SEAWOLVES DREAM TEAM!

The Dreams Park tournament is a national tournament of 100-105 teams that occurs weekly through out the summer. It is widely considered one of the best experiences a youth baseball player can have. It is similar to the LLWS but with advanced travel rules. Some of the best players in the nation play every year in the Dreams Park tournaments. This experience is only available to 12U teams and there is a waitlist for teams! Luckily, our SeaWolves organization has the Golden Ticket!

Teams can play anywhere from 6 to 16 games in the tournament over the course of a week. The tournament bracket for higher seeds will require a minimum of 5 games in a 24 hour span to win.

The Jr SeaWolves Dreams team is open to ALL 12U athletes (must be 12 or younger as of May 1, 2027. This includes all Jr SeaWolves current team members and athletes outside of the Jr SeaWolves organization. Our goal is to send the 12-15 athletes that will make the most contributions to the team and represent our NW PA to the best of its ability.

Coach Godel and Coach Hartken will be the the lead coaches and form the team. Both have experience from being at Cooperstown and will do their best to prepare the athletes and help them be as successful as possible. In the 2026 tournament they finished in the top 25 and their only loss was to the team that finished #2 overall.

Cooperstown costs roughly $2200 per player. This includes all tournament games, uniforms and athletes boarding in the Cooperstown Village. Families can work together to offset their entire cost through fundraising. Our 2026 team offset their entire costs. Food, pins and family hotels are not included. We recommend players bring food because the cafeteria food is nasty.

 The Cooperstown Golden Ticket is a grandfather certificate that reserves a guaranteed spot for youth baseball teams at future tournaments at Cooperstown Dreams Park while bypassing the multi-year waitlist 

We will try to get the team together once a month to get to know each other but we expect the athletes to be training consistently with their own teams as well. As we get closer to the event the players will be asked to practice together at least once a week in preparation. Practices will occur at the Erie Strike Zone Academy as well as Eriez Magnetics field.

Cooperstown is a very difficult tournament. Any holes in a roster will be exposed. Competition will consist of teams that are formed from some of the best players in the nation. Some teams have been known to fly players in for the tournament from various states. Others are selected from the best in their region. Our philosophy will be to take hard working athletes from our region that 1) want to compete at a national level and 2) are going to make a contribution to a roster against this competition. We want players that want to represent our region with pride and want to go there to compete at a high-level. We do not want to take players just to participate. This is not the tournament for that.
