It is so well organized and has something for everyone. The professional and friendly staff do an expert job of planning and scheduling while also deftly handling the dynamic environment of a large tournament. Great competition and outstanding recruiting highlight a fun event that our players look forward to!" -- Kevin Shelton, Texas Glory "We have played in the Colorado 4th of July event for many years. Every year the event gets better and better, and we could not be more thrilled with the college coach attendance. Our players look forward to playing that tournament as much as any we play all year." -- Scott Smith, Texas Bombers "I continue to be amazed by TCS Tournaments as whole. TCS runs the best tournaments from start to finish than any other organization. The Sparkler specifically is quite an undertaking, and every year I walk away amazed at how well the tournament is run. From games times you can count on, to professionalism by the staff, to education of the college recruiting process. EXCELLENT!" -- Lady Hustle, CA "I wanted to thank you and tell you how grateful we were to participate in the Sparkler this year. It was without a doubt the most professionally run tournament we have played all year. We appreciate all that you did to arrange the discounted fun events; the overall experience of all three of our teams there was totally positive! You can count us in for next year at the Sparkler!" -- Missouri Revolution "I am the coaches wife and our daughter went to Virginia Tech on a softball scholarship. We have been to a lot of tournaments through the years, but we have never been to a tournament that has been so informative and helpful with anything and everything, as this one has! You guys have done a great job and I wanted to let you know it. I don't think people stop and think how difficult it is to put on a tournament of this size. We do appreciate all that you have done!! Forward this to the entire committee, our hats are off to you all." -- Diamond Dusters, WV REFUND POLICYA 20% non-refundable administration fee will be charged on all registrations.
