Experience

Summer practice on the lakefront is a Chicago classic - kids hit on courts framed by Lake Michigan and the Waveland golf course. When winter sets in, the program moves indoors a few miles south to Streeterville, keeping the same coaching staff and curriculum continuity. The Summer Camp is the busiest entry point for new families.
