WELCOME,
Hopefully you are reading this as you
are planning on or thinking about
playing with the ILLIANA
THUNDERBOLTS for the 2021
season.
As many of you experienced last
years season was, to say the least,
“A CHALLENGE”!
HOPEFULLY this year, 2021,
things will be better and we can
begin playing, if not at the regular
start date, but soon after.
The ILLIANA THUNDERBOLTS
are entering into their 18th year
playing travel baseball. Unlike
many of the new breed of “in-house
travel teams” or “rec-ball travel teams”
the ILLIANA THUNDERBOLTS are
an Independent Travel Program with
no secret hidden agenda other than
providing excellent fundamental
baseball instruction.
Do not get confused or fooled by
the newly formed dozens of Little
League or Cal Ripken teams that
“ALSO” have travel teams.
They are not the same…
We are in the process of building
our 2021 roster.
- INDOOR WINTER WORKOUTS
- FUNDRAISERS
- PRIVATE INSTRUCTION
AVAILABLE
- COACHING CLINICS
- NEW EXPERIENCE FOR MANY

Q: How far does the team travel to for
games & tournaments?
A: UNLIKE MANY TEAMS
WE STAY PRETTY CLOSE TO
HOME, USUALLY ABOUT A 25
MILES RADIUS FROM THE I80/I94
INTERSECTION. WE MAY DO ONE
OVERNITE TOURNAMENT IN JULY
IF THE PARENTS DECIDE THEY
WANT TO DO THAT.
Q: Where and when are the practices held?
A: SINCE we do play a lot of games
AND some of the players also play
on a second team AND the weather
in the spring can be iffy AND school
is still going on AND most parents
work during the week, we try to limit
practices to a limited number of days.
Our practices are scheduled to enhance
and fine tune the game/tournament
performances. We practice at 19051
S. Halsted in Glenwood, Il. & 17800
S. Arcadia Lansing, IL.
Q: Can my son play both IN-House and
for the Thunderbolts?
A: YES It’s not ideal as your son
will not receive the same level of
instruction, practice,and games on
his Rec team but if you insist on
still paying In-House ball then we
can make that work.
Q: What if there is a schedule conflict,
like both teams have a game at the
same time.?
A: THIS CAN BE A CHALLENGE,
HOWEVER WE HAVE BEEN
DOING THIS FOR 16 YEARS
OW AND HAVE QUITE A BIT

THINGS WORK SO THAT
