Our Story
There is a long, rich tradition of outstanding baseball being taught and played through Elmhurst Youth Baseball. The primary objective was to provide and maintain a high quality community driven program by teaching fundamentals of the game in a low-key atmosphere, providing high quality instruction, void of intense pressure while teaching sportsmanship, teamwork and the enjoyment of the game. While the goal and satisfaction of winning cannot and should not be removed from the game, maximum individual participation is of primary importance.
We stress to our coaches and members to teach respect, teamwork and sportsmanship. EYB believes that winning is a goal in youth sports but that there is a second, more important goal of using sports to teach life lessons through positive experiences. We continue to strive to make improvements for the enjoyment of the game and to provide top-notch resources for teaching fundamental baseball skills.
Our league structure divides up players by age groups based on Little League guidelines and provides fields with graduated dimensions appropriate for player development as they mature.
EYB is a volunteer organization. We are managed by a board of volunteer members, who rely on our community members to help provide the best experiences for the kids. One of the most rewarding positions is coaching a team of eager players. While previous baseball experience is a plus, it is not necessary to be a coach.
We are always in need of coaches in all leagues, but more so in our T-Ball program as new members join our program. Your participation in these volunteer positions will help keep EYB one of the areas best baseball programs. Please talk to a board member or commissioner about volunteering.
