Passport Sports, USA Tournament Series launch Dominican youth baseball trip

Passport Sports and USA Tournament Series are sending youth teams to Santo Domingo for a six-day Dominican Beisbol Experience from February 15-20, 2027. Registration is open, and the 11U and 12U divisions are nearly sold out.

Why it matters: - The trip blends youth baseball, cultural immersion and a service project in the Dominican Republic, one of the world’s top baseball talent pipelines. - Families get a managed international experience instead of a typical weekend tournament. - The partnership gives USA Tournament Series teams access to Passport Sports’ flagship travel program.
