This year, the annual David Manlove Memorial Tournament is scheduled for Sunday, June 2, 2024. Please note, this tournament is available for baseball and softball in 2024.
Every spring, Oaklandon Youth Organization hosts the David Manlove Memorial Tournament, a single-day memorial tournament to raise awareness about substance abuse. We welcome five rec travel/all-star baseball teams in every baseball and softball age group to participate in this single-day tournament. Please note, 14U Softball is also open to C-level travel teams and 13U Baseball and 14U Baseball are open to A-level travel teams.
This tournament was started in 2002 in memory of David Manlove, who played baseball at our facility from 1990-97 but died in June 2001 from cardiac arrest caused by huffing. All proceeds from this tournament – including donated concession stand worker wages and umpire fees – are presented to The 24 Group. To learn more about this organization, visit www.the24group.com.
