Your Kid's First Destination Tournament.

Free 27-Point Checklist For 8U & 10U Parents.

From the team at Bayou Nation — New Orleans' only Cruise-Ship-style youth sports destination.

The 4 must-haves every destination tournament should have.

(If they're missing, walk away.)

  • Guaranteed number of games
  • Field quality you can verify (turf vs. grass matters)
  • Paid, professional umpires
  • A clear, published schedule

The 5 red flags that mean "find a different tournament."

  • No risk reversal (if they won't guarantee it, don't trust it)
  • "We'll figure it out as we go"
  • No weather contingency
  • Pressure to pay before you've seen anything
  • No clear point of contact

The 8 experience upgrades that separate good from great.

  • Mobile concessions (carts that come to your field)
  • Morning-only game schedule (afternoons free)
  • Welcome greeting at the gate
  • Game announcing with player names called
  • Live, working scoreboards
  • Music between innings
  • A signature Skills Competition event
  • Opening Ceremonies with a real experience

The 10 questions to ask before you register.

Print this. Email it to the operator. If they can't answer all 10 clearly, walk away.
