Palatine Pride Baseball is part of the PCBS’ Travel – Lite program. Pride offers skilled players the opportunity to play at a more competitive level while retaining the traditional community elements of PCBS’ Recreational Leagues. Players will play more baseball, compete against other local Travel-Lite teams, and have increased opportunity to develop. Pride offers a more challenging experience without committing to the high cost and commitment of Full Time Travel.
| Ages | 8–14 |
| Games | 10-12 games per season with recreational league, 8-10 games part time travel, and 2- 3 local tournaments |

Tryouts for the Pride program are held in late summer and are free, however you will need to pre-register. Players should come properly equipped with protection, glove, bat, and water. Please arrive on time for your scheduled age group’s tryout session.
Who is eligible to play?
The opportunity to participate in the Pride part-time travel baseball program is open to all registered 8U to 14U House baseball players. See tryout information above.
Where will travel games be played?
Games will be played against surrounding communities, including Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows, Schaumburg, Crystal Lake, Cary and many more. At the conclusion of the Pride regular season, teams will participate in 2 to 3 local baseball tournaments. In the past, these have included the Lake Zurich Bear Claw and PCBS’ own Lion’s Roar Tournament.
Where and when are practices and home games held?
Practices and games are held only on Fridays and Sundays as not to conflict with your house team. Pride has access to the top-of-the-line facilities provided by the Palatine Park District. We practice and play almost exclusively at the coveted Community or Gbur fields. In the cooler months, the Pride will have indoor field time at the sought-after Falcon Park Recreation Center.
What are the uniforms?
Adorned in Pride gear, your athlete will feel proud representing our great community. Pride gear includes two jerseys, pants, a hat, socks, belt and practice shirt. Athletes will be able to choose their own number, which will appear on both their hat and jerseys.
What is included in the program fee?
The fee to play in the Pride program is in addition to the cost of registration for the house league. The fee includes all scheduled games, umpiring fees, uniforms and tournament fees. Many local full-time travel teams can often cost well into the thousands of dollars, not including the cost of overnight accommodations. Through our affiliation with Palatine Community Baseball & Softball and the local high schools, the Pride program strives to keep costs to a fraction of the cost of other programs.
What happened to the N60, All-Stars and Post-Season (travel light) programs?
The Pride program and brand has replaced the N60, All-Stars and Post-Season (travel light) programs.
