Welcome to the official site for the Battle in the Pitt

The 7th 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, from Friday, June 4th through Sunday, June 6th 2010.

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 2010 event will include 7 boys divisions - 17U, 16U, 15U, 14U, 13U, 12U, 11U. While considerable attention will be focused on the prospects in the 17U - 15U 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.
