How to participate in the CIS MVP Games

After each CIS event, coaches will be texted a form to fill out to nominate players. The coach will nominate one player from the opposing team per game played. All players who have been selected as a CIS Game MVP will immediately be eligible to enter into the CIS MVP Games (there are no refunds after registering due to jerseys being personalized). After registering, the player will receive a confirmation email.

CIS MVP Game Events

The CIS MVP Games are a competitive event.  Players from all States are eligible to play. This event is meant to be competitive, and a winning team will be crowned at the end. All teams will play a minimum of 4 games.  Format of event is dependent on the number of players per age group. During the day on Saturday, there will also be a MVP Player Social.

Players who have been selected as a CIS MVP at a Central Iowa Sports event may participate in the CIS MVP games.

​The head coaches will be selected from those who wish to volunteer. The selection of the  head coaches will be based on:

1. The highest classification of the team the volunteer coached

2. The highest USSSA Power Ranking of the team the volunteer coached.

If a coach that is selected has a son or daughter participating in the MVP Event, that player will automatically be placed on the same team.

​Drafting Of Teams

​The process of selection of players will be done via ranking forms and will be done in total confidentiality.  Only CIS Staff will view the ranking of players by the coaches. During the registration process, all players will submit playing positions and draft notes. The participating players will be drafted into teams by the coaches. Coaches will receive the roster of the all participating players with playing positions and draft notes.  Coaches will be asked to rank each player by position.

​CIS Staff will form the teams from the coaches ranking of players form.  Catchers will be placed on teams first, followed by pitchers, followed by infield and then outfield. Officials team rosters will be available on this website when the drafting process is complete.
