We are excited to announce that for the DFW World Series we are bringing back the Individual Skills Competitions! All players participating in the World Series will have the opportunity to go head to head against the other athletes in their age group! We will crown a Champion and Runner Up in three different skills competitions! Home Run Derby, Fastest Man, and Golden Arm!

Information below on each skill competition and how to register! Cost is $25 per skill and players can participate in all three or just one! This is a completely separate skills competition from the one that the teams will have the chance to participate in on June 26th. The team skills competitions are team-based competitions and are FREE to the players that participate in them. Individual Skills Competitions will begin at 3:00pm on Saturday, June 28th and end at 6:00pm that day. Players can show up at any time during the window to do their skills at the assigned park. By pre-registering for the skills competition athletes will save both time and money. Day of walk-up registrations will increase from $25 to $40. All players either pre-registered or walk up must be present by 4:30PM, in order to participate in the events. Please DO NOT Wait Unitl 430 to show up.

Locations for Individual Skills - 8u and 11AA will be held at Cottonwood Ball Park in Little Elm. All other ages, classes and divisions will be held at Waxahachie Sports Complex in Waxahachie. There are absolutely no protest on skills results. No metal cleats allowed at anytime on turf fields.

Players participate based on their age and not the age of their team for individual skills. A player’s age group will not be changed once the sheets are printed for skills competition.
