The Indians did not have a 14U team this season. There were only 3 teams (11U, 12U, 13U). The tryouts were held this past weekend and there were around 90 kids at the 13-15 tryout, and another 45 at the 16-18 tryout today.

Individual tryouts are still being held. Please contact David at (847) 722-6850 or indians_baseball@live.com.

Also, the 16U Coach has been named. Ryan Morrison from North Central College will take the head coach position.

Teams will be solidified by the end of this week.
