Baseball fans and families alike will find a unique reason to head to the Jersey Shore this summer as the Jersey Shore BlueClaws join forces with Ocean County Tourism to present a free World Cup Final watch party on July 19 at ShoreTown Ballpark.
The celebration includes a complimentary soccer skills day designed for children between six and twelve years old, where youngsters can practice shooting, passing, dribbling, juggling and even a dizzy‑bat shooting contest under the guidance of local coaches.
Participants in the clinic will receive a commemorative participation medal, and while walk‑ins are welcome, pre‑registration is required to guarantee a spot in the limited‑capacity session.
Gates open at one in the afternoon, with the skills clinic running until two forty‑five, after which the World Cup Final kicks off at three o’clock on the ballpark’s massive 1,854‑square‑foot video board.
A Day of Play and Play‑Off
Beyond the match, the venue will be alive with free inflatable rides and games strewn across the warning track and concourse, while the Boardwalk and the BlueClaws Mini Golf Course remain open for additional recreation and ticketed attractions.
Concession stands will offer a variety of food and drink options for purchase, giving attendees plenty of choices to refuel between innings of excitement.
Organizers say the event is meant to bring the community together, offering a safe, affordable outing that blends sport, entertainment and local flavor in one vibrant setting.
