Homewood Baseball and Softball is one of the premier youth sports organizations in the Chicago Area.  Established in 1951, our volunteer organization has grown to one of the largest Baseball, Softball, and T-ball organizations in the area. 

HBSL MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to create a fun, competitive and fair environment for players of all ages and abilities to improve their skills and build lifelong friendships through sport.

Our nearly 70-year history in Homewood was built though volunteerism, dedication and pride in creating a sense of community and nurturing a healthy love of the game.
