Roy Hobbs’ Cactus Classic
Takes Shape
Event created to offer
week-long RH Western opportunity
Welcome
to a new element of Roy Hobbs Baseball in this 20th anniversary
year: The Cactus Classic in
Roy
Hobbs Baseball announced April 1 the addition of the Cactus Classic: www.royhobbs.com/cactusclassic/
The
week-long event will be held at the Kino Sports Complex in
The
inaugural Cactus Classic will be held September
28 through October 11 with the following age groups: 25+, 35+, 45+, 55+, 60+, 65+ and the Roy
Hobbs Women’s Division.
The
event will be broken into 2 weeks. The
first week will feature the 25s, 55s and 65s, with the Women’s Division playing
Thursday-Sunday of the first week. The
35s, 45s and 60s will play the second week.
The
The
Cactus Classic will continue Roy Hobbs’ unique logistics of checking all
players’ IDs prior to the tournament and issuing an event ID card, taking Wednesday
off for healing, golf and general relaxation and Roy Hobbs’ policy of making
all the games count, regardless of a team’s record in Pool Play games.
And,
an added event will be a Locker Room Option, which will be a first-ever
offering in a non-fantasy camp setting for adult amateur baseball.
Players and teams
selecting the Locker Room option will find their uniforms laundered and hanging
in their lockers when they arrive at the ballpark each day. Their equipment will be securely stored in their
locker space. They can take pre-game
batting practice in the in-stadium batting tunnels below the clubhouse.
A
staff of professional trainers will help those players get through the week at
peak performance. Our training staff will assist the players with game
preparations – hydrotherapy pools, heat packs, taping and pre-game stretching
and massage. Trainers will also be available for immediate treatment of
on-field injuries. They provide post-game icing treatments, and advice for
getting players back into action the next day.
The
best price – including all discounts
– for the Cactus Classic will be $2750
per team. Teams entering at that fully
discounted price by August 8 are guaranteed the same price for 3 years. Additionally, in 2008, the manager of each
team will be given a week’s worth of the Locker Room Option for free.
Two
host hotels have been chosen – Holiday Inn Palo Verde and
