Did you know that each year the 12 year old team from the Tinley Park Bulldogs travels to Cooperstown Dreams Park?  It's a trip that makes lifelong memories for our players! Tinley Park Bulldog Baseball        The Bulldogs have been teaching youths the game of baseball since 1960.  Our program is widely recognized as being highly successful.  "Graduates" from our program have contributed greatly to the success of area high school teams; have succeeded at the college level, played in Minor League Baseball and have played at the Major League level.  Just as important is the success enjoyed by our players at lesser skill levels.  The vast majority have finished the program at a better skill level than when they began.  This success comes from coaches who teach and motivate youth players of all skill levels to succeed at playing the game of baseball.  Parental support and involvement has also been a very important factor.  When youth players succeed, that's fun!  Practice, lead by example, play hard, teach sportsmanship..have fun!!
