6th annual 2009 BATTLE IN THE PITT

Official Tournament Sponsor: Elite Athletic Apparel, LLC

Welcome to the official site for the Battle in the Pitt

The 6th annual Battle in the Pitt will be presented by Elite Sports Events in June. The three-day event will be hosted at Sacred Heart University, University of New Haven, New Haven Athletic Center, and University of Bridgeport from Friday, June 5th through Sunday, June 7th, 2009.

The Battle in the Pitt brings together many of the East Coast's Elite teams, DI/A teams, and DII/B teams. Separate divisions are set up to ensure that all teams are competing against teams of equal skill level.

The 2009 event will include 6 girls divisions - 16U, 15U, 14U, 13U, 12U, 9U. While considerable attention will be focused on the prospects in the 16U - 14U age divisions, the Battle in the Pitt also provides recruiting services with a tremendous opportunity to scout the up-and-coming youngsters. A series of elite players made their first mark on the regional/national scene at past Elite Sports events, and more will gain exposure this summer.
