Team Formation
The Recreation Department Staff will assign teams based on the participant’s skill level and evaluation rating to ensure fair and equal teams. For administrative and program continuity reasons, we are not accepting any special requests or considerations for team assignments. All participants will attend a practice session coached by professional level coaches during the first two weeks of the program and then be evaluated by the Recreation Department staff during the third week prior to team assignments.

Volunteer Coaches
Parent volunteer coaches and assistant coaches are needed for each team. Parents may request to coach with one other parent in order to work out their personal schedule. If you are interested in helping out, please contact  Anthony Anaszewicz, Program Manager, at 847-810-3945. Coaches will receive league playing rules, an American Sport Education Baseball Coaching Instruction Book, and run through a mock practice session.

Sponsorships
Opportunities exist within the Youth Athletics Programs to be a team sponsor. You can sponsor your son’s or daughter’s team, and your designated sponsorship name will be placed on the back of your team shirts. Sponsorship in grades 4th or lower, your business will receive a team plaque. All funds received help offset the cost of program clothing and equipment. If you are interested in sponsoring a team(s), or if you would like to learn more about sponsorships, please phone Anthony Anaszewicz, Program Manager, at 847-810-3945.
