Welcome back for the 2026 season of Buddy Baseball, where Players of all ages are paired with volunteer Buddies to play 5 weeks of baseball. The dates for this season are July 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and August 4th. Warm Ups start at 6:15pm. The games are at Briar Patch Park 1700 Briarcliff Blvd Wheaton, IL 60187. We do not have the ability to reschedule due to weather cancelations. Therefore, we will make every attempt to play. Cancelations due to weather will be made the afternoon of scheduled game and you will be notified by email.
The player must be age 5 by July 1, 2025 to participate in the camp.
Who's who:

We do take safety very seriously and any threats of violence will be reported to the authorities. Any player who has made threats of violence will be asked to end their season early.
