Welcome
About the Cougars
The Cougar Baseball/Softball League 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 this
philosophy, along with the skills of our 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 right.
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 fifty - sixty game schedule the Cougars begin
practices in January. The Cougar season runs from April to late July each year. We are are proud members of competitive leagues such as the
Mid Suburban
Baseball League (MSBL) and the
West Suburban Baseball League (WSBL). 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 take a few minutes to
view our videos and browse our picture galleries.
