Crystal Lake Babe Ruth 2026 Summer In-House Online Registration Now Open!
Crystal Lake Babe Ruth is a family In-house and Tournament baseball program that focuses on baseball fundamentals and gives a player a progressive program from ages 13-19 years old.
The two summer in-house leagues are broken up as follows:
- Our Major League Divisions which include 13, 14, and 15-year old players.
- Our Senior League which includes 16, 17, 18 and some 19-year old players.
While both divisions are played on full-sized fields, our Major League division is designed as a development-focused division that helps players transition to full-sized field baseball while building skills and game knowledge. Our Senior League division is designed to be a more competitive division that plays more like high-school baseball. Please note: while not yet confirmed, our Senior League division may be required to travel to neighboring cities (such as Woodstock, Cary, or Lake in the Hills) for games with other league's Senior Divisions.
Fees for our summer in-house leagues are the following:
Major League - $290.00
Senior League - $290.00
$25 Early-Bird Discount will be applied if you register before March 1, 2026.
