About Us:

East Joliet Athletics began with a simple idea from local families: build something special for our community—right here on the East Side. We wanted a safe, affordable space where kids could play baseball and softball, learn from quality coaches, and grow both on and off the field. What started as a shared dream has grown into a true community. At East Joliet Athletics, it’s not just about the game—it’s about teamwork, confidence, respect, and lifting each other up. Players, parents, and volunteers all have a place here. Together, we’re building more than athletes—we’re building a stronger East Side.

Mission Statement:

East Joliet Athletics was created to provide the east side of Joliet access to high-quality sports programs that promote physical, emotional, and social development. Through mentorship, teamwork, and a focus on inclusion, we strive to create opportunities for young people to thrive, build confidence, and discover their potential. By removing barriers to participation, we aim to foster a sense of belonging, resilience, and empowerment, helping youth overcome challenges and achieve success both on and off the field.
