Learn more about MCT Sports, their mission, the work they’ll be doing for young and amateur athletes in our community, and how you can make an impact today.

Introducing MCT Sports

MCT Sports was founded on the belief that youth athletics is about more than games and competition. It’s about developing athletes, building confidence, strengthening character, and creating opportunities that can make an impact far beyond the field.

Our mission is to empower young athletes through competitive sports programs, quality coaching, and community-driven initiatives that build character, confidence, and leaders for tomorrow.

As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in New York State, MCT Sports is committed to removing financial barriers and creating opportunities for children and amateur athletes throughout our community. Through equipment, coaching, programming, tournament and travel support, scholarships, mentorship, and community initiatives, our goal is to help more athletes access the opportunities they need to grow.

Every program, coach, and initiative at MCT Sports is guided by our commitment to developing the whole athlete — building champions in sports and in life.

This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to share more about our programs, community initiatives, ways to get involved, and the athletes and families we serve.

🚨 ROSTER SPOT EARNED! 🚨

Congratulations to JJ Ortiz on officially earning a roster spot at Palm Beach Atlantic University! ⚾️🌴

A Rome, NY native, JJ has been part of the Blue Sox family since 2021 and has trained consistently with the Blue Sox staff since 2023. We’ve had a front-row seat to the work, development, and commitment he’s put in to reach this point.

JJ will now take his game to the NCAA Division II level with Palm Beach Atlantic, competing in the highly competitive Sunshine State Conference.

From Rome to South Florida — the work continues. We’re proud to see another Blue Sox athlete earn an opportunity at the next level.

Congratulations, JJ! Go make the most of it! 💪⚾️

⚾💙 THAT’S A WRAP FROM COOPERSTOWN! 💙⚾

What a journey for our 2026 Junior Utica Blue Sox 12U Cooperstown team!

After months of practices, games, tournaments and preparation, our boys earned the opportunity to spend an unforgettable week competing at Cooperstown Dreams Park.

The Blue Sox finished their Cooperstown run with a 3–4 record, and we could not be prouder of this team!

Some highlights from an incredible week:

⚾ An extra-inning victory to open the tournament
⚾ A 4–3 win over USA Prime behind a complete-game pitching performance
⚾ A 17–2 victory to close out pool play
💣 Multiple home runs, including a two-HR game from Aiden and a three-run shot from Jackson
🔥 Ryan delivered a 69-pitch complete game, allowing just two hits and one earned run
⚡ A 17-run offensive explosion with 15 hits and 16 stolen bases
🧤 Big defensive plays, clutch hits and contributions throughout the roster

But Cooperstown was about much more than the scoreboard.

It was about competing together, representing the Junior Utica Blue Sox, overcoming adversity, building friendships and creating memories these players and families will carry with them for years.

A huge THANK YOU to our players, coaches, parents and families who made this journey possible. Getting a team to Cooperstown takes tremendous commitment, and we couldn’t have asked for a better group.

To our 2026 team — congratulations on an incredible season and unforgettable Cooperstown experience! 💙⚾

And the journey continues…

👀⚾ The Junior Utica Blue Sox will be BACK at Cooperstown Dreams Park in 2027!

Keep an eye on this page — additional information and dates for upcoming 12U tryouts will be announced very soon!

The Road to Cooperstown starts again.
