Baseball and Softball Are Back!

While the temperature drops and the weatherman is calling for snow, take a moment to dream of spring. Sunshine on your shoulders, dirt under your cleats, smudged eye black on your cheeks, a new glove or bat in your hand, and the smell of hot dogs and freshly mowed grass filling the air. Your friends sitting on the bench next to you, sharing sunflower seeds, or Big League Chew while you cheer on your teammate at the plate. Remember those wonderful days of after-school practices with your friends, learning the most beautiful games ever created? As the cold weather and snow begin to descend, take a moment to remember spring, to remember your youth, and dream about summers of baseball, softball,l and t-ball with the Hills Baseball and Softball Association. Billy Beane once said, "How can you not be romantic about baseball?"

Registration for the 2025 Baseball, Softball, and T-Ball seasons is now open with HBSA. T-Ball is available for both boys and girls, ages 4 to 6. Baseball is available for players ages 7 to 14. Softball is available for girls ages 7 to 14, with 16U registration opening later in the spring. All practices and home games are held on the HBSA fields on 76th Ave, behind the courthouse. There are no drafts, no tryouts, no travel fees, or major fundraising efforts. Online registration is currently available on our website, and we will have an in-person registration day in February for players to try on uniforms as well as register for the season. Registration will close in mid-March or as soon as teams fill, so be sure to register soon.

T-Ball Fees = $250
Baseball and Softball Fees = $400
Fees include uniform and hat, concessions tickets for each home game, 4 tickets to our Windy City Thunderbolts Family Night, along with an 18-game regular season followed by SWI playoffs for all levels except T-Ball. For a full fee breakdown, please visit our website.

We offer sibling discounts for multiple players. All baseball players and softball players will receive a book of raffle tickets that can be sold to recoup some of the cost of registration. Volunteer opportunities in the concessions stand and coaching are also available earning vouchers towards next year's registration.

Spring Indoor Clinics will begin March 6th and 7th for ages 4 to 10. Register for clinics at the event.
