Fall Sports in Full Swing

October kicks off with a full slate of Halloween-themed softball tournaments, as PGF, USSSA, USFA and Indiana NSA Fastpitch bring teams to diamonds across Crown Point, Dyer and Cedar Lake.

In mid-October, the Midwest Crossover Volleyball Tournament returns to the Hammond Sportsplex, bringing 38 NCAA Division II teams from three conferences together for two days of competition.

Fight fans can mark their calendars for November 6, when Elite Fight Night presents EFN 31 at Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, featuring amateur fighters facing off in high-energy cage matches.

Youth football takes center stage over two November weekends as Mid America Pop Warner hosts its championships and playoffs, first at the Crown Point Sportsplex and then at Chesterton High School, bringing young athletes and their families from across the region.

Rounding out the year, the Fox Valley Holiday Classic makes a splash at the Hobart High School Aquatic Center in mid-December, followed by the Dana Evans Holiday Hoopfest, which brings holiday basketball action to the region just before Christmas.
