About Us
Corridor Sports Story
Corridor Sports goal is to provide quality youth tournaments (softball and basketball) at a competitive price that give athletes the opportunity to compete at their highest level. For us quality means quality umpires, quality facilities, and quality awards. As umpires ourselves, we have seen what it takes to run successful tournaments and unfortunately we have seen some poorly run tournaments as well.
We typically run tournaments across Eastern Iowa. We typically run tournaments in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo, Cedar Falls, West Liberty, Mt Pleasant, Dubuque, Quad Cities, and more.
We also realize that we cannot do what we do without the communities in which we run tournaments. This is why we also have tournaments that help raise money & donations to local organizations.

Co-Director Sarah Cook
Sarah was born and semi-raised in Cedar Rapids. After a family loss, Sarah went to Junior High and High School in Lone Tree. After high school, Sarah returned to Cedar Rapids for college. After her freshman year, Sarah looked for a summer job and came across umpiring and has never looked back. She has been at it for 18 years and brings so much passion for the game but more importantly passion for umpiring. She is still one of the youngest umpires and one of only a few female umpires in our area after all these years. If today ends in a Y you will probably find her on a softball field.
Sarah is our Umpire in Chief (UIC). This means she is in charge of assigning umpires for all of our tournaments, training umpires and finding new umpires. If you have any interest in umpiring youth softball for our tournaments please get a hold of her.
