About IHSBCA (Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association)

Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association was established in 1965. The organization was originally formed to allow seniors who were left off of American Legion rosters an opportunity to play in the summer.

At the time, Les Miller, the Head Baseball Coach of The University of Illinois at Chicago was holding annual clinics for coaches. He agreed to share his clinic with the IHSBCA. Thus, the birth of our present-day coaches clinic. The first clinic was held at Oak Park-River Forest High School.

Since then, many high school and college coaches have contributed to the success and growth of our clinics.

One of the first actions of the IHSBCA was to petition the IHSA to have the 16-game limit for public schools increased. With the support of the Principals, Ron Klein and Marty Wiora of Benet Academy got the schedule expanded to 25 dates, of which ten of those dates could be doubleheaders.

As it stands today, all member teams of the IHSA can play 35 total games, with no doubleheader stipulations. The first Hall of Fame banquet was hosted in 1978.

The initial inductees were All Budde of Belleville High School, Guy Cartwright of North Chicago High School, George Fencl of Morton High School, Martin McCarty of North Shore County Day High School, Jim Phipps of Niles High School, Ed Papciak of Lane Tech High School, Ed Stonebock of Peoria Manual High School, and Jack Kaiser.

Today Illinois Baseball Coaches Association boasts over 600 members, we select an All-Area team and an All-State team, the clinic continues to grow in attendance and quality speakers, and we try to be an integral influence on the IHSA in all matters related to Illinois High School Baseball.
