A Brief History of LaVale, Maryland

The Marble King Marbles Team went to Crawley, England to compete in the British World Marbles Championship. The team was comprised of All-Star marble players who were former national marbles champions. The United States did win the British World Marbles Team Championship, but the skill level of the All-Star team was showing signs of deterioration.

The youth National Marbles Tournament is only for kids between the ages of 8 and 14. The winner of the National Marbles Tournament is inducted into the Marbles Hall of Fame and must retire from the sport of marbles, unless they decide to take up coaching. Unfortunately, 99.5% of the kids that participate in the National Marbles Tournament do not coach or continue to compete afterwards.

In 1992 Jeff Kimmell, the 1981 National Marbles Champion and coach of many successful marble players, was able to start building a state of the art marbles complex in Middletown, Maryland, with the help of the Frederick County Bureau of Parks & Recreation, the Braddock Heights Optimist Club, Denny & Erma Tressler, Trish Tressler, Art Staus, and Gil Kingsbury.

A group of people contacted the International Olympic Committee to enter the sport of marbles into the Olympics. The group designed a new international marbles game. However, the game did not get the approval by the IOC to be officially sanctioned.

Jeff Kimmell became concerned that the United States and its current situation would not be ready for the level of degree that would be needed in the Olympics. Jeff started to think of ways to try and bridge the gap from the current situation to a more Olympic-level of competition.

Jeff pondered the idea of starting a new kind of marbles tournament. He envisioned a tournament that would bring the best marble players in the United States together and at the same time, promote the game of marbles and the youth National Marbles Tournament. The idea was tossed around one night at a Dennys Restaurant between Jeff Kimmell and Denny Tressler. Denny Tressler thought it was a great idea and he was confident they could get it done. Denny took notes from Jeff's ideas and from them later wrote out the official procedures. On that night Jeff Kimmell and Denny Tressler founded the Tournament.
