Get your team ready for the State Cup with Elite Tournaments’ flagship event in the Baltimore/Washington area! In its 24th year, Baltimore Mania has been ranked as one of the top events in Region I for both Boys and Girls teams. This event draws top teams from across Region I with play under the supervision of referees from nine different states. This event is open to BOYS teams of all levels of play, ages U9-U19.
Elite Tournaments has partnered with Casey Cares to host a pajama and gift card drive at the Baltimore Mania Tournament. Inspired by the memory of a Casey Cares child, this program provides new sleepwear and pajama-themed parties to children on extended hospital stays. The pajamas give children the comfort of home in an otherwise sterile environment. Their goal is to provide more than 8,000 new pairs of pajamas to critically ill children this year alone. Their biggest needs are always infant sizes and teen/adult sized PJs but they accept any new pairs of pajamas. Please keep tags on them so our families know they are new! Gift cards can also be donated in any denomination. Some examples of their preferred stores and restaurants are Panera, Subway, Walmart, Target, Dominos, Pizza Hut, and any local grocery store.
All items can be dropped off at the headquarters location of each tournament site. If you have any questions or would like to donate and cannot attend the event, please contact Cara Martin at [email protected]
Don’t forget to use #BaltimoreMania on all your posts and photos!

You are encouraged to reach out to schools you are looking to attend, and let them know which events you will be playing in this season. We welcome you to invite these coaches to attend this event.
