Vision

Over the next five years, we will build Chicago’s premier community baseball and softball organization.  The rise of travel teams has diminished the impact of community baseball and softball.  We will seek to reverse this tide by offering an empowering and developmental community based house league program alongside highly competitive affordable all-star programs.  All programs will avoid over specialization and support multi-sport participation. Our programming will prioritize building the habits, mindsets and skills necessary to become championship ballplayers and productive citizen leaders.

Sheridan McGuane Baseball and Softball has always been about the community, family focus and building awesome memories for our players and families. We are Chicago’s center city baseball and softball program with broad impact across the city.
We highly value diversity and seek to ensure that the games of baseball and softball remain accessible to all of Chicago’s families.

We are intentional about keeping our focus on community baseball and softball that is available to any young person who is interested in learning and enjoying the great game.

In addition to our quality house league experience, we also provide highly quality competitive all-star programs. Our Generals All-Star program runs from 8U through 14U. This program provides a more competitive experience for higher level players who are willing to commit more time throughout the summer.

Our all-star programs demand higher level commitments but we are careful to avoid the current tide of young athletes specializing in one sport from a young age. We love baseball and softball but we want to ensure that our players have the opportunities to play and compete in other sports and activities. Sheridan McGuane Baseball and Softball is both excellent and community based.
