Recreational Baseball In-House baseball leagues are designed purely for the fun of playing a game. If you feel your son must play at a more competitive level, we have the All-Star Tournament and the Travel league programs available to you when they reach 9 years of age. The In-House All-Star Tournament team is for children 9 years of age and the Travel teams range from 10 years old up to 14 years old. If you require information on the Tournament team you can check the Tournament pages of the Baseball website. Regarding Travel, please check the Travel Baseball section of this website. Travel is a separate division from In-House Baseball.
Schaumburg Flyers Travel Baseball
The travel baseball season begins April 1st and runs through August 1st. Most teams play in the highly competitive Mid Suburban Baseball League, and play in Chicago area tournaments during that same time. Some teams choose to travel outside of Illinois to play in regional or national tournaments.
Flag is an in-house program, divided into (2) age groups, 5-7 year olds and 7-9 year olds. The seven year olds are divided between the divisions based on size and maturity. The flag season begins the first of August and finishes by the end of October. Flag practices Monday through Friday for the first two weeks of August. During this period players are evaluated and a draft is held to form teams. For the remainder of August, flag practices two to three nights per week. After the players return to school, flag practices twice a week, with games on Saturdays. The season consists of approximately eight games.
