Overview
The Wilmette Tide was founded in 2022 with it's sole mission being to provide expert level training to kids in the New Trier Township area. We believe that by playing together with your high school teammates in the summer helps further the team aspect of the game while improving your skills at an age-appropriate and challenging way. We do this by preparing the athletes for their tryouts by knowing what is expected of them going into it and fostering their joy for the game. We do this by challenging them to know what it takes to be not only a great individual player but moreso a team player.
All the coaches that you will encounter during your time with the Tide have played college or professional baseball and grew up in this area knowing EXACTLY what coaches expect at the local high schools.
We place the teams in competitive tournaments throughout six weeks in the summer where the goal isn't necessarily to "win" the tournament but to challenge them. An ideal tournament for us would have us play as many competitive games as possible as beating everyone by ten runs or losing to everyone by ten runs does not further develop this group. Each season, we look at the landscape of tournaments and the team we have and place them in appropriate tournaments.
