2026 Speedball Tournament

Portland Junior Dogs are hosting the 3nd Annual Speedball Tournament

This is event is being sponsored by Town and Country Federal Credit Union

All proceeds go to help fund the Portland Junior Dogs program.

Date: June 6 (Saturday)
Time: 12-5pm
WARM UP WITH THE SEA DOGS: 12-1pm
Tournament Starts at 1pm.
Location: Payson Park (Loring, Farr Field - Payson Park)

Speedball’s focus is on getting kids to hit the ball and field the ball more than in a standard game.
Unlike regular youth baseball with 2 teams of 12-14 players playing 9 vs 9, Speedball uses 3 teams of 4 players at at a time, which means:
High action, quick games, lots of reps and lots of fun.
 

The Rules

Teams are made up of 4 players each. 
3 teams of 4 take the field at the same time: 1 at bat, 1 in the infield, 1 in the outfield (4 outfielders)
Coach pitch and a coach catcher 
No Walks, 3 strikes for an out (unlimited fouls)
No stealing
No bunting
Banana Ball Rules in effect - Foul balls caught by spectators are an out!
After 3 outs are made, the batting team moves to the infield, the infielding team moves to the outfield, and the outfielding team goes to bat
5 runs max per inning. 
Games end after 20 minutes - hard stop.

Spring/ Summer Travel/ Tournament Team Notes
Please note that signing up for Winter Baseball Training does not commit players to playing for the Travel Team, however participating in Winter Training is required for all Travel Team players. At the time of registration we will ask if your player is interested in playing for the Travel Team so we can gauge interest and there will be a separate registration process. There are no "tryouts" but players will be continuously assessed and evaluated during Winter Training for their abilities and attitude to play on the Travel Team. Depending on numbers and interest, some players may be designated as Alternates, and be called to play in games when more players are needed.

Spring/ Summer Travel/ Tournament Team Notes
We would like to form Softball travels this year. Please note that signing up for Winter Softball Training does not commit players to playing for the Travel Team, however participating in Winter Training is required for all Travel Team players. At the time of registration we will ask if your player is interested in playing for the Travel Team so we can gauge interest and there will be a separate registration process. There are no "tryouts" but players will be continuously assessed and evaluated during Winter Training for their abilities and attitude to play on the Travel Team. Depending on numbers and interest, some players may be designated as Alternates, and be called to play in games when more players are needed. Details of the team have not been worked out yet, but will be explored if there is strong interest.

Our primary goals is to provide players with more opportunities to play more competitive ball, while minimizing actual travel and costs for families. Coaches will explore multiple options and opportunities depending on interest and skill level of players. This could be entering a team into an established league, or working to form our own local league to play other town teams as we have done with the baseball program. Additionally, teams can enter local and regional tournaments, which can be fun experiences for the kids.
