Tunnel to Towers Tournament

2026 Dates are Monday June 29 with a rain date of Wednesday July 1.

Wantagh Park Fields A,B,C

Requested donation of $50 per player.

Players who cannot afford $50 are welcome to play and pay any amount they are comfortable with.

All participating NYSSA players must play with their regular season NYSSA teams

If individual NYSSA teams do not have at least 12 players signed up for the Tournament, then the Tournament director will determine the rosters of each tournament team by combining teams with an emphasis on creating partity.

For a variety of good reasons no player may participate in the Tournament if they are not a member of NYSSA.

However, every and anybody may be a sponsor and contribute any amount they wish.

T2T is fully aware that we are reducing the size of the Tournament by making it exclusively NYSSA, and they remain grateful for any contribution we can make to their worthwhile cause.

The Tunnel to Towers Tournament is run slightly different than other charity tournaments.

Only players on the roster of each NYSSA team may enter the Tournament representing their team.

Teams are guaranteed a minimum of two games for the 1-day Tournament.

Tournament managers may not recruit players from other NYSSA teams.

Rosters will consist exclusively of NYSSA players.

If there are not enough Tournament players on any NYSSA team, then Tournamenmt Director Alan Finchley and his volunteer staff will provide players from individual teams to enhance parity in the Tournament.

As the tournament moves along from game to game, managers may not recruit players from teams who have been eliminated or new players who want to join after the Tournament has started.
Managers may request a replacement player from the Tournament Director only if a player on their original roster is unable to play.

Our gratitude and appreciation to Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Nassau County Parks Commissioner Darcy Belyea for donating the use of Wantagh Park.
