WOODSTOCK AVALANCHE Woodstock Avalanche is a competitive full-time travel baseball organization based in Woodstock School District 200. Our primary goal is to give players the opportunity to develop their skills to their highest potential and compete at a premier level of competition at a very reasonable cost. Each age group will play regular season games in Northern Illinois and participate in various local and regional tournaments. Our program fees vary by age, but are typically almost half as much as other travel programs in the area. We keep our costs very low through sponsorships, advertising and fundraising events. Our coaching staff is very experienced and knowledgeable and all have played or coached at a very high level of organized baseball, with many playing college and minor league baseball.
