Our strength lies in our player’s desires to play at the next level. We design our program to have the demands similar to that of a college program. As a team, we try to make one another better on and off the field. With this formula we succeed in winning games and tournaments while getting our players prepared as they move on to the next level.The Phantoms seek out serious baseball players who have the desire to play at the college level. Over the past ten years we have had 80 All Area/All Conference players and over 100 seniors moving on to play college baseball. With this continued success our 22u collegiate team will have its 5th season in 2021. Players joining us at the 15u level may have the opportunity to play in our program for 8 years. The program will include a team at the 15u, 16u, 18u, and 22u levels in the summer of 2021. Each team will participate in seven weekend tournaments. These tournaments usually run Thursday-Sunday and take place at local colleges and high schools. Each team will participate in one out of state/out of town tournament. More information regarding rosters, fees, schedules, and practices can be found throughout this packet. Please feel free to contact us with any other questions.114300-57150000Roster FormatIdeal Roster15 position playersAdditional Pitchers added as a Pitcher Only (POs)What is a Pitcher Only?Pitcher only will not play a position in the fieldPitcher only will not be guaranteed at batsAt bats may be given in certain circumstances (injury)What is a Position Player?Position players will play a position in the fieldPosition players can also PitchEach roster is built to be able to compete in tournaments that may require 5-7 games in a span of 3-4 days. Teams will need enough pitchers on the team to make it through several games in a few days. Our teams have been competitive and successful for several years because of our talent depth. This also prevents players from injury.Each player that is added to the team fills a role on the team’s roster. No players added to our teams are considered to fill the role of ‘bench warmer’. Each player will get opportunities to play in each tournament. The players who do produce the most will get the most playing time. 0-57150000FeesSeason FeePosition Players- $1,250Pitcher Only- $700Season fee covers everything-tournaments, insurance, equipment, uniforms, and all winter practices/training sessions0-57150000Letter of AcceptanceIf a player accepts his spot on a Phantoms team he will be sent a Letter of Acceptance and a Payment Contract. The Letter of Acceptance simply states that the player is committed to playing for the Phantoms and accepts his role on the team. The Payment Contract offers three different payment plans that families can choose from. These payment plans break the season fee into 2-4 deposits. If a deposit is not sent to the Phantoms on time without notice the player can lose their roster spot. As long as the player turns in the Letter of Acceptance and follows the chosen payment plan their roster spot will be held. Deposits are non-refundable.The Letter of Acceptance and Payment Contract allows the players to commit to our team and allows our team to commit to the player. For example, we add a player to the team as an Outfielder. When he turns in his Letter of Acceptance and payments on time he is proving to us that he is committed to playing for our team. In turn, we commit to him by not adding several other players that play the same position as him. It is important for each player to follow the Payment Contract they have chosen. Each team will be paying for tournaments, insurance, and equipment. It is important that we can pay for these expenses on time. Reminders will be sent 7-10 days prior to a player’s next payment due date. If a player cannot make a payment on time he must let us know before the payment is due. We can hold his roster spot if he notifies us of a late payment.On the next two pages you can find an example Letter of Acceptance and Payment Contract.0-57150000Letter of Acceptance Contract-ExampleI, ___________________________have chosen to have my son, _______________________ become a member of the Kane County Phantoms.

Coaches also write an assessment of the player for college coaches to see.Our coaches share your profile with college coaches that we are connected with on the Field Level database. We send your proifle to coaches of schools that may be a match for you. They then receive your information and can view your recruiting profile.

Connections include colleges at the NCAA, NAIA, and Junior College levels across the country. Recruiting VideosThroughout the year we will provide players the opportunity to create recruiting videos. These videos can include skills in all areas of the game-pitching, defense, hitting, and base running. When the videos are created they can be placed on recrutiing profiles, sent to college coaches, and be placed on field level.0-57150000SchedulesEach team will participate in 7 tournaments on weekends.

Obviously, there will be circumstances in which players will have to miss a game or practice. However, players should not be missing for long periods of time. If you see yourself having multiple conflicts in the 2021 summer our program may not be the best fit for you. Coaches are allowed to reduce playing time for players who miss often. Players who miss excessively will be removed from the team.Each team will have a few practices after the High School spring season and before our Summer Tournaments. High School players are not allowed to practice with travel teams during the IHSA Spring Baseball Season.
