A total of 32 teams, including 26 teams with excellent performance at the 2024 National Elementary School Baseball Tournament and 6 teams recommended by the city and provincial associations, will participate in the competition.
The association completed a safety inspection of the entire stadium before the start of the tournament, considering the safety and health of youth players as a top priority. In addition, in order to protect youth players in the record heat wave that continues day after day, various measures have been prepared to adjust game time and respond to the heat wave. The game time will be set at 8:30 a.m. in one game, 10:30 a.m. in two games, 5 p.m. in three games, and 6:30 p.m. in four games to avoid the hottest daytime. In addition, measures to prevent heat diseases will be taken, such as expanding breaks between games, regular deployment of on-site paramedics and ambulances, adding mobile air conditioners, and providing cooling equipment.
Various events will also be held for athletes, families, and visitors visiting the site to add to the joy of the competition. First, on August 6 and 7, Na Ji-wan (TVING) and Jang Sung-ho (KBSN Sports), former Kia Tigers professional player and current baseball commentator, will hold one-point lessons and fan signings with youth players. On August 8th and 9th, a sports job talk will be held to talk about career paths with various occupations in sports. Ahn Kyung-hyun, chairman of the Korea Professional Baseball Retired Players Association, and Kim Si-sik, head of the daily sports team, will participate in the event to tell their honest stories to the players.
In addition, through the operation of a photo-ism self-photo booth and a professional photographer's photography service, there will be a space where participants, their families, and fans who visit the site can leave memories.
The competition will be streamed live on KBSA's official channel on the SOOP platform in Gyeonggi Province, and the final match will be broadcast live on SPOTV on the 16th.
