2027 CHICAGO WARRIORS TRYOUTS - IMPROVE. DEVELOP. COMPETE.
2027 HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL CHICAGO WARRIORS TRYOUTS - IMPROVE. DEVELOP. COMPETE.
Chicago Warriors Baseball focuses on player development within a competitive structure that plays to win. We develop confident, fundamentally strong baseball players who can compete in any environment. Founded in 2010, by Joe Perona, Chicago Warriors Baseball has experienced leadership and a track record of professional training and player development. Joe is a former Detroit Tigers professional player and Northwestern University graduate, and has over 15 years of experience coaching, training and building competitive youth, high school and college aged baseball teams. Coach Perona is actively involved in designing and training the Warriors Player development program by setting program direction, designing practice and instruction and and training of Warriors' coaches. Chicago Warriors teams follow a rigorous player development training program embedded in a culture of growth and improvement.
In 2023, Chicago Warriors Baseball established our own private, college-level, indoor facility on the northside of Chicago in the Edgewater/Andersonville neighborhood. That same year, the Warriors formed a partnership with North Park University Baseball that allows both programs access to each other's facilities. The Warriors expanded their indoor training space to 10,000 sq/ft with the addition of a connected warehouse space we call The Workshop in April of 2026. The Workshop has 5 additional hitting tunnels and a full weight room. It is the home of a year round hitting club and strength program exclusive to Warrior's players. We also utilize large dome facilities including the Bo Dome in Bensenville for Winter Training.
Our coaches are not parents of players, who recruit their friends and pick their own teams. We offer paid coaches to lead our teams with a team-first competitive philosophy while teaching players how to hold themselves accountable. Our teams are built and evaluated at the organizational level and formed to seek the appropriate level of competition.
Chicago Warriors Baseball has a group of experienced high school coaches connected to northside of Chicago High Schools, many of which are active high school coaches in the spring season as well as the Warriors.
We feature an all - tournament summer schedule June and July including weekly practices at Northeastern Illinois University along with access for indoors training at our Warriors Indoor Facility and Workshop.
Proven Winter Training program focused on preparing players for their high school tryouts and spring seasons.
College Recruiting Counseling is also offered for our players attempting to navigate the college recruiting process.
In 2025, we managed and coached ten teams at 15u,16u and 17u levels. We also feature an all college player summer team. We offer players the opportunity for year-round training allowing players to build skills and attack weaknesses with a focus on preparing players for high school tryouts and winning starting spots on their high school teams.
Most of all, Chicago Warriors Baseball is right-sized; big enough for players to have access to quality coaches, facilities and playing opportunities, while small enough to ensure personal and athletic development.
