We're not asking families to choose.
Faith & Family isn't a league. It's an initiative to protect Sunday mornings.
Somewhere along the way, competitive baseball decided that Sunday morning was game time. Not Sunday afternoon. Sunday morning — 8 a.m. first pitch, two hours from home, with a bracket game to follow.
For a lot of families, that meant a standing decision. Church or baseball. Every weekend, spring and fall, for years.
We didn't think that was a fair trade, so we went and did something about it.
What we do
Faith and Family works with independent ballparks across the Mid-South, and the leagues and hosts that already run tournaments there, to set aside weekends where Sunday mornings stay open. Same sanctioned tournaments. Same competition. Same rings. The schedule is simply built so that no family has to miss worship to play the game they love.
Fourteen weekends from September 2026 through June 2027, at parks in Memphis, Southaven, Horn Lake, Millington, Senatobia, and Jackson. Ages 7U through 14U. Sanctioned through Perfect Game, USSSA, NCS, and PBR.
Friday night and Saturday, we play hard. Sunday morning belongs to your family. Sunday afternoon, we finish what we started.

Who this is for
Every team is welcome. Plenty of families come to us because Sunday morning is church. Plenty come because Sunday morning is the only unhurried hour they get all week. Both are good reasons.
The Sunday Rule
Sunday games start at 1pm, so Sunday morning stays open for worship and family. Pool play runs Friday night and Saturday; bracket play is Sunday afternoon.
How we got here
We've spent years in Mid-South travel ball dugouts and parking lots on Sunday mornings, watching families struggle between the game their kids love and the values they cherish. So we went to the parks and tournament hosts that already run these weekends and asked them to keep Sunday morning open: the same sanctioned, high-stakes competition, and nobody has to sacrifice Sunday morning.
You pick the schedule. Your families live with it.
Faith and Family weekends are sanctioned events at established Mid-South parks — Snowden Grove, USA Stadium, Big Oak, Horn Lake, Senatobia, and Jackson — with one difference: Sunday games start at 1pm. Pool play Friday and Saturday. Bracket play Sunday afternoon.
Your team gets the same sanctioning, the same competition, and the same exposure. Your families get their Sunday morning back. In our experience, that's the kind of thing that keeps a roster together year after year.
Questions Before You Register?
Coaches register through each weekend's official league or host (Perfect Game, USSSA, NCS, or PBR), which also sets the entry fee. For anything else, tell us about your team and the tournament director will reply.
