This is truly the dawning of a new era at Diamond Nation as the 2025 Tournament Schedule drops today.

The 2025 tournament schedule drop coincides with both the end of the 2024 tournament season this weekend and Diamond Nation’s highly anticipated field refurbishing project set to begin in mid-November.

The face of Diamond Nation, the finest travel ball facility in the Northeast, will change dramatically over the next few months and that new look will be unveiled in March of 2025 as “Diamond Nation 2.0, Locked + Reloaded.”

“The 2.0 theme is based around the complete overhaul of our baseball fields,” says Nick Massari, Vice President & Group GM of Unrivaled Sports Baseball & Multi-Sport Division. “We will be installing all new turf with some design elements that differentiates us from the rest of the pack, yet is still clean and traditional.”

As it highly anticipates Year 17, the Diamond Nation team reveals some of the big numbers reflected in our 2024 tournaments. Nearly 200 individual tournaments were conducted at the facility by close to 3,100 teams that played 5,648 games. Tournament Director Marty Clark reports those numbers and adds 3,500 dozen baseballs, a total of 42,000 or so, were used in those games. The facility thrived in the summer tournament season for 68 consecutive days with games beginning at 8 a.m.-through-8:30 p.m. All of that required 11,299 game assignments for our umpiring crew.

Those tens of thousands of balls will be bouncing off that brand new turf in 2025 on six of our seven fields — Field 7 was newly installed in 2022. As you can see by the depiction below, the new fields will be spectacular and the teams using the facility have much to be excited about in the coming season.

Above is a depiction of the new turf fields to be installed beginning in November at Diamond Nation.

Diamond Nation’s scheduling dexterity was enhanced in 2022 with the completion of Field 7. That has reaped major scheduling benefits the past three seasons for General Manager and tournaments coordinator Mike Cust and tournament directors Marty Clark and Jim Rueb.

The construction and utilization of Field 7 has enabled Diamond Nation to schedule 95 percent of its tournament games on-site. “And that includes the bigger events, like the Super 17 Invitational each June,” says Massari.

Registrations for the 2025 tournament have continued at the same brisk pace as the past few seasons, each of which showed significant growth.

“Many of our customers have been with us from the beginning, so we truly consider them part of the Diamond Nation family,” says Massari. “Our hope is that when they step into the ballpark in 2025, our significant improvements will give them that proud feeling of excitement, happiness, and satisfaction that you get after completing a beautiful home renovation.”

Diamond Nation’s field overhaul continues an impressive string of fall and winter property improvements the past several years.
