Schedule Information

Even though the Phantoms are a summer baseball team, we expect players to have regular attendance at games.  Obviously, there will be circumstances in which players will have to miss a game or practice.  However, players should not be missing for long periods of time.  If you see yourself having multiple conflicts in the 2025 summer our program may not be the best fit for you.  Coaches are allowed to reduce playing time for players who miss often.  Players who miss excessively will be removed from the team.

Each team will have a few practices after the High School spring season and before our Summer Tournaments.  High School players are not allowed to practice with travel teams during the IHSA Spring Baseball Season.
