Girls Fastpitch Softball
For many years the Elmhurst Cougars have been looked upon as one of the finest
boys travel baseball programs in Chicagoland. It is the objective of the Cougar
Board of Directors to take our softball program to the same level. It is time to
keep the great softball players in Elmhurst. To that end we will form 3 girls
teams for the 2011 season: 11U, full-time 12U, and full-time 14U. Please click

Boys Baseball
We will be fielding 9U - 14U boys baseball teams for the 2011 season. In
addition to tournament play, many of these teams participate in the
West Suburban Baseball League.
At some levels we do field two teams; however, these decisions are based upon
the quality of players that turn-out for tryouts and historical field
availability. Our tryouts will be held at
Plunkett Park.

Elmhurst's Original Travel Baseball Organization
The Cougar Baseball/Softball Club is an independent organization of traveling
teams from Elmhurst, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago. Formed in 1992, the
Cougars are Elmhurst's original travel boys baseball and girls fastpitch
softball organization. We stress baseball/softball instruction and fun, while
playing at a more competitive level.
It is our philosophy, along with the skills of our board of directors, managers
and coaches, which make us a feeder organization to the baseball and softball
programs at York, Immaculate Conception, and Timothy Christian high schools.
Links to these Elmhurst high school athletic programs can be found to the left.

Elmhurst Cougar games are played both home and away against teams of similar
skill and philosophy in the Chicago metropolitan area. In preparation for a
forty - sixty game schedule the Cougars begin practices in January. The Cougar
season runs from April to late July each year. Many of our 10U - 14U boys teams
are proud members of the
West Suburban Baseball League. Additionally, the Cougars make appearances in
multiple tournaments within the Chicagoland area; we also make occassional
out-of-state appearances such as our annual 12U trip to the Cooperstown Dreams
Park tournaments.
Please browse our comprehensive, searchable database of baseball and softball
playing fields. We have in the neighborhood of 270 Chicagoland ballfield
locations stored. Each record includes a link to the park on Google Maps. The
