State Games brings top high school baseball to Greensboro in June
More than 70 scouts will crowd Greensboro and High Point for a June baseball showcase that is expected to help fill hotel rooms and keep local venues busy.
Greensboro’s summer sports calendar will get another boost when the State Games of North Carolina brings its high school baseball showcase to the city and nearby High Point from June 15-19. The tournament is part of the 2026 BODYARMOR State Games, a five-week stretch that will take over the Greensboro area from May 30 through June 28 and is expected to draw more than 11,000 athletes across 24 sports.
For Guilford County, the baseball event is more than a bracket of games. It is a steady stream of athletes, coaches, scouts and family members moving through hotel lobbies, restaurant corridors and campus facilities at the height of the summer season. Official venues include First National Bank Field in Greensboro, Truist Point Stadium in High Point and UNC Greensboro, placing the tournament squarely in the region’s visitor economy.
The showcase will bring the best 20 underclassmen players from eight North Carolina regions to local fields, with athletes competing in front of more than 70 college and professional scouts. Scout workouts are set for June 15 at Truist Point Ballpark, before medal games close the tournament on June 19. Eligibility is limited to high school varsity players who are 2026, 2027 or 2028 graduates.
State Games officials are also treating the event like a managed travel operation. Ticketing is cashless, with admission set at $8 per day for online purchases made on or before June 15 and $10 per day after that date. Players and coaches listed on the official roster and dressed in uniform will be admitted free. The official hotels for the baseball event are the Holiday Inn and Hilton Garden Inn, and players and coaches staying overnight are required to use those hotels.
The State Games of North Carolina, operated by North Carolina Amateur Sports, has hosted the statewide event since 1986 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In Guilford County, that long-running model has made the event part of the annual business of hosting amateur sports, with Guilford College’s facilities also folded into the broader footprint.
As Greensboro continues to compete for sports visitors, the June baseball showcase delivers the kind of traffic local hotels and restaurants value most: concentrated, multi-day, and tied to a statewide event that keeps athletes, families and scouts moving across the county.
