22U Collegiate Summer League
The Aurora Travel Baseball Association was organized in the year 2011 when a group of dedicated baseball enthusiasts who are former college players and coaches decided that more competition, an opportunity to develop and play at the "next level" was needed.
In 2023, after a successful 13 seasons of placing more than 125 kids onto college baseball teams, we re-organized and now provide only a collegiate summer team and program for those incoming college freshmen and collegiate returning players to continue to work on their game in a competitive league environment. 2025 will be our 7th consecutive year of running a collegiate team in the Metro Collegiate League.
Ages
Our program is for outgoing high-school seniors through 22u college aged kids.
When
What time of the year does this program run?
Our season will start late May and run through approximately the last week of July.
Where
We play in the Metro Collegiate League and our games are around the Chicago suburbs in Aurora, Oswego, West Chicago, Elgin, Wheaton, Crystal Lake and more. Our home games are located at Stuart Sports Complex in Aurora/Mongtomery, IL.
UNIFORMS
We provide two full uniforms (jerseys and pants) and two hats.
Games
How many games will they play? What days of the week?
Teams will play 24 league games over the course of the season and will be throughout each week. During the week, most often we will play single 9 inning games. On the weekends, we will play two 7 inning games.
