The tournament will take place January 26-29, 2017 at the Seminole Softball Complex in Altamonte Springs. There is NO admission fee this year for spectators and no long walk to the fields. The county does require it be a stay-to-play tournament meaning in order to participate, you must stay in one of their approved hotels. There will be price points from the very low to about $109. AAU will NOT be taking a rebate from the hotels. The entry fee for the tourney will be only $695. Watch for the official documents. We are looking forward to having all the teams back for a new chapter in this outstanding, fun-filled event.<\/p>\n<p>Debra Kimbrell<br \/>\nSenior Sport Manager<br \/>\nBaseball \/ Softball \/ Lacrosse \/ Men\u2019s International Fastpitch<br \/>\nAmateur Athletic Union (AAU)<br \/>\ndebra [at] aausports.org<\/p>\n<p>Editor&#8217;s note: Some fans have inquired about the location of the Seminole Complex, to Disney, the Orlando Airport and the old Wide World of Sports complex.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/dir\/ESPN+Wide+World+of+Sports+Complex,+700+South+Victory+Way,+Orlando,+FL+34747\/Seminole+Softball+Complex,+2200+North+St,+Altamonte+Springs,+FL+32714\/Orlando+International+Airport,+1+Jeff+Fuqua+Boulevard,+Orlando,+FL+32827\/@28.5135793,-81.7107647,10z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m20!4m19!1m5!1m1!1s0x88dd7f211a622ced:0x6831f30661e8a49e!2m2!1d-81.5517433!2d28.3378472!1m5!1m1!1s0x88e773d83552e85d:0x2ae4d832c56d90e9!2m2!1d-81.3965106!2d28.6812157!1m5!1m1!1s0x88e76327c6b492f3:0xad4ab9369411e16d!2m2!1d-81.308083!2d28.4311577!3e0\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to view a map showing the location and distances<\/a>.
