Elmhurst Extreme

Full Time Travel Baseball Team

The Elmhurst Extreme is a full time travel baseball program affiliated with Elmhurst Youth Baseball (EYB). Fielding 5 teams, starting at age 10 through 14, these teams are funded by the parents and play in the Mid Suburban Baseball League. The MSBL is a highly competitive baseball league made up of a dozen or so suburban travel teams. The Extreme teams will generally play a 40 to 60 games a summer between league games and tournaments.

While the Extreme Teams function under the umbrella of EYB, open tryouts are held in August of each year and all are welcome. This includes players from other towns and leagues, as described in the Mid Suburban League rules. After the initial tryout, players will be contacted for additional evaluation until the final 12 players are determined. We pride ourselves as having the best travel baseball program in town and welcome the best players to try out for our teams.

While the teams will play in some Fall Tournaments, practices begin in January at several indoor facilities with games beginning in April and finishing in July. Costs average $750.00 per player which includes the cost of the indoor practice facilities.

As with all travel sports, the cost and commitment is extensive, however we feel this is the best preparation for baseball at the High School level.
