Hometown baseball.
Big-league pride.
A community-based travel baseball program for ages 8U–14U, competing in the most competitive leagues in Chicagoland. 100% volunteer-run. Proudly affiliated with the Mount Prospect Park District since 1983.
More than baseball. A community.
Teaching the game. Building character. Serving the community.
Competitive enough for Chicagoland's top leagues — grounded enough to grow better teammates and neighbors.
Year-round donations & volunteer work — both have touched families inside the program.
What sets us apart
Six things every Mavs family experiences — from their first tryout through their last out.
Culture First
Most competitive leagues in Chicagoland — but built on values, life lessons, and growing players into people. Not just wins.
Affordability
100% volunteer-run. Every dollar raised goes directly back into our teams — one of the most affordable travel options in the area.
Community Driven
As an affiliate of the Mount Prospect Park District, we balance next-level competition with service work and giveback initiatives. We represent our community — and we show up for it.
Year-Round Training
Customized winter training at CENTRAL, our hometown facility, November through March — plus a year-round cage membership for every Mavs player. All players that finish with the 14U Mavs are guaranteed a spot on one of the ITB High School teams if they so choose.
Multi-Sport Friendly
We encourage multi-sport athletes. Baseball gets focus April–July; the rest of the year, go play everything.
Experienced Coaches
Volunteer coaches with experience at the high school, college, and professional levels — invested year-round in our players.
Nine teams. One Mavericks.
