Play Ball Weekend is a program held by Major League Baseball teams, Minor League Baseball teams and other baseball organizations across the country. During the weekend, June 5 to 7, 2026, organizations hold free baseball and softball events for boys and girls ages 7-14.
One of the most popular events is the Pitch, Hit & Run program.
The Pitch, Hit & Run program is a free event series for boys and girls, and consists of a series of movements that are important in baseball and softball. Participants will compete in either 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, or 13-14 age division, with the Age Cut-off set on November 15, 2026. They will be tested, and their measurements will be recorded for points. Based on their scores, they will advance from a local event to a Team Championship and then to the National Finals hosted at the World Series.
There are several Pitch Hit & Run events taking place in the Charlotte area on June 6, 2026. They are all FREE to participate in, and all require registration.
