USA Prime Northern Illinois is a premier travel baseball program based in the western suburbs of Chicago and caters to players throughout the Northern Illinois area.
Established in 2016, our teams play tournaments throughout the Chicago and suburban area. Our organization is merit based, meaning every player in our program earns his place on a USA Prime roster every year.

We always look for talented, hungry players with families that:
- Allow players to grow and develop
- Positively support their player
- Encourage their player to do their best while allowing coaches to coach
- Accept the fact that mistakes will happen rather than expecting perfection
Our Mission
Our mission is to help our players become better baseball players, strong leaders, and understand the value and rewards of hard work.
