General Info

We are excited to host Picktown Throwdown 2.0!  We have heard your feedback and have been working hard to offer you an exciting and unique High Stakes Tournament experience!

Food!?  Yes, there will be food.

Coaches, we want to roll out the red carpet for you.  You can expect a private room to indulge in delicious food, hot coffee and snacks. Food is our love language and we want you to know how much we love that you chose to attend our tournament and feel some extra appreciation for all you do and give to your teams.

Teams, we love you too!  We will have the typical pizza, chips and water.  It's a safe bet for most.  Don't worry, for those of you who love to eat, but a slice of pizza doesn't cut it, we'll see you at the concession stand.

Spectators, we've got you covered!  We'll have all the options to fill that tummy.  If we aren't able to accommodate your food restrictions or your picky palate, you're only 5 minutes away from Chipotle, McDonalds, Taco Bell and Meijer. 

Fields?  Long skills line got you down?  Cheer up!  You can expect 2 skills fields, 3 fields for matches and 1-2 practice fields.

Notebooks?  For those teams who have made the jump to digital notebooks, please print your notebook and place in a folder or the like.

As we get closer to the event, you can check out our website for updates.  Feel free to share the link with parents as the website will offer an easy go-to for all the event details: picktownthrowdown.com
