The Blaze is excited to announce tryout dates for the 2019 season. Our focus is and always has been to develop players for high school and college in terms of solid mechanics and an advanced approach to the game. The Blaze has won more than 265 team championships in its 20 year history, successfully putting players on the varsity baseball fields at Glenbrook South, Loyola, and other high schools across the Chicagoland area, as well college programs across the country.  Indeed, more than 100 Blaze players have gone on to play college baseball at some of the top programs across the country, including Northwestern, Arizona State, Bradley, Coastal Carolina, Creighton, Illinois State, Indiana, Northern Illinois, Ohio State, Southern Illinois, St. Thomas, Rutgers, and Villanova Universities.

Our instructors are among the best in the area, all having played professional or Division I baseball, and our offseason training, which begins at Northwestern University and is led by Northwestern Head Coach Spencer Allen, helps develop our players take their game to the next level.

The Blaze is a Glenview-based program but welcomes players from other communities. As has always been our policy, the Blaze will consider a second team at each age group based on talent. If you are interested in joining the Blaze team, please attend the tryout that corresponds to your age group.
