  WBI has been offering a part-time travel program to complement our in-house league program for several years.
  Players will experience the competitive nature of travel baseball, along with playing multiple positions on in-house teams with classmates, friends, and neighbors creating a better all-around baseball experience.
  Important facts about the PART-TIME Travel team:
  Your child MUST register with WBI and PLAY IN THE IN-HOUSE LEAGUE.
  This is an additional team to your child's in-house team.
  This is a competitive team and one of our goals is to win games.Players on the team will play positions that help the team achieve that goal.
  This team practices on a separate day during the season, this means there will be extra practices.
  The games and practices are usually held on Wednesdays and Sundays.
  All regular season games are played in the Chicagoland area.
  Teams will compete in the Chicagoland Sunday League.
  There is an additional fee to this program that will range from an initial $200 - $300 fee for the season and may be more if additional tournaments are played.The fees are based on several factors that vary from team to team and from year to year.Players selected to a travel team will be expected to pay a non-refundable deposit of $100 two weeks after the team is selected to secure your spot.
