You do not have to be a resident of the host town to participate in a PHR event, but you will have to register for their event, just like you do ours.

How PHR Works

Players will participate in three different contests:

Pitching — six pitches for accuracy (i.e. strikes)

Running — Timed run from 2nd base to home plate (120 ft)

Hitting — Three swings off a tee, evaluated for both distance and accuracy (how close to center the ball landed). Best of three hits is counted.

The champion of each age group will then be ranked against the other PHR competitors in our area to see who advances to the next level.
