OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower the next generation through baseball, basketball, and soccer, providing opportunities for young athletes to develop their skills, character, and confidence. We foster a supportive and inclusive environment where teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship are at the core—instilling values that extend beyond the game. Through mentorship, competition, and educational opportunities, we strive to inspire lifelong learning and personal growth. Our goal is to shape well-rounded individuals who are prepared for success both on and off any field or court.
WHO WE ARE
Southland Athletic League provides a welcoming and structured environment where young athletes of all skill levels can thrive. Through the power of sports, we inspire teamwork, promote health and fitness, and encourage personal growth. Every child with a passion for athletics deserves the opportunity to learn, compete, and build lifelong skills regardless of what sport they play.
BASEBALL TEAM REGISTRATION
South Chicagoland Baseball Invitational
The South Chicagoland Baseball Invitational, launched in 2024, is a premier single-game elimination tournament led by the Cook County Sheriff's Department in collaboration with Ford Heights, and key members of the South Suburban Youth Baseball League (SSYBL).
Our mission is to bring players together from Chicago, Northwest Indiana, and the south suburbs to foster lasting connections. Many young athletes compete in separate neighborhood leagues, limiting their opportunities to experience the game beyond their immediate communities. This tournament bridges those gaps, creating a space where passion for baseball can be shared across regions.
