The Ripken Experience, Myrtle Beach - teams staying at Myrtlewood

The Ripken Experience — Myrtle Beach, a one-of-a-kind youth baseball complex with major league quality facilities, remains on schedule for its planned June opening. Participating teams will stay in Myrtlewood Villas, located in the heart of Myrtle Beach and less than two miles from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Ripken Experience will be one of the nation’s top youth sports facilities featuring six youth and three regulation size baseball fields, each modeled after one of the game’s historic parks, including the Polo Grounds, Comiskey Park and Forbes Field.

In addition to the fields, the complex will include a three-acre Training Island, a practice facility that will allow coaches to drill their team in all facets of the game.

The Ripken Experience will host week-long tournaments during the summer and weekend tournaments in the fall. Teams from 21 states have already committed to participate in the youth tournaments, which will cater to youth between the ages of 10 and 18.

The Ripken Experience players will have just as much fun off the field as they do on it. Players will receive all-access passes to many of the Grand Strand’s top attractions, including NASCAR SpeedPark, Pavilion Amusement Park, Myrtle Waves Water Park and Dragon’s Lair Miniature Golf.
