Cooperstown All Star Village to Host All-Ripken Softball Games

Cooperstown All Star Village will host a softball tournament for the first time as part of the All-Ripken Softball Games Powered by Under Armour.

The event will take place from August 29 to September 1 featuring 10U, 12U and 14U players from across the country. Adding more softball to the Ripken portfolio has been a focus since the organization entered into a strategic partnership with Unrivaled Sports in 2023.

“For years, Cooperstown has been synonymous with baseball excellence and now we’re honored to bring that same level of prestige and opportunity to softball,” said Dan Hooper, general manager of Cooperstown All Star Village. “This is a milestone moment for the sport and we can’t wait to welcome the first generation of softball players to this legendary venue.”

The All-Ripken Softball Games will feature skills evaluations, position-specific training and competitive tournament play, culminating in an All-Ripken Games champion. Players must be nominated by coaches, peers or scouts to participate.

In addition to the inaugural Cooperstown event, the All-Ripken Softball Games will host tournaments in Ohio and Louisiana as part of its expanded 2025 schedule. Ohio’s Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center will host All-Ripken Softball Games from August 21–24, while Broussard Sports Complex in Lafayette, Louisiana, will have softball action from September 11–14.
