Big Fire Showcases is proud to announce the 13U Big Fire Shootout National Championships. In this national event we partnered with Shootout Baseball (Rick Glasser) which hosts the OK/TX Shootout series for each age group. Over the last 23 years, his events have grown into a staple for teams in the Midwest. We are super excited to launch these Big Fire Shootout national events and believe with his experience and expertise along with ours we will provide a great experience for teams.
Each Big Fire Shootout National event will have a System 33 National Individual Combine open to all players in the event.
Each National event will have 2 divisions of play (National) & (Silver) Divisions
New for 2024, each organization can have only two teams participating in each division
Each organization that plays in a 2024 13U Big Fire Shootout National event locks in a 3-year grandfather clause that secures their organization's spot in 2025, 26 & 27 National events.
