The Corcoran Tournament was established in 1993 after Steve J. Corcoran passed away after a brief battle with cancer, at age 36. Valerie was 10 and her brother, Michael was 8 when their father, who coached youth baseball in Claremont was taken too soon.

This tournament has become an enduring midsummer classic (July) for Claremont, drawing teams from all over New England. This tournament assists with raising funds to support our current youth Baseball/Softball program in its operations every year.

Though Steve, played himself and was quite talented, he always balanced; confidence, modesty, competitiveness, and sportsmanship. Corcoran believed strongly in hard work, dedication, and always strived to instill all of these characteristics in our local youth athletes.

The cornerstone of The Corcoran Tournament is based on good, clean competitive play all while maintaining a high regard for Sportsmanship.
