Major League Baseball and USA Baseball today announced the launch of the inaugural ‘Trailblazer Series,’ a first-of-its-kind girls baseball tournament hosted in conjunction with Jackie Robinson Day. Approximately 100 girls, ages 16 and under, representing twenty states across the country as well as Washington D.C. and Canada, will participate in the three-day tournament held in the greater Los Angeles-area from Thursday, April 13ththrough Saturday, April 15th.

The girls playing in the Trailblazer Series will be divided into two age divisions, 16U & 12U, and have been placed onto teams by random selection. They will be coached by some of the nation’s top female baseball coaches and players, including those from USA Baseball’s Women’s National Team. Additional activities for Trailblazer Series participants will include non-game instruction from the coaches, appearances by special guests connected to baseball, and attending Jackie Robinson Day celebrations at Dodger Stadium on April 15th.  The entire event is completely expense-free for participants.
