Our Goal:

The goal of Chargers Baseball is to field a team of competitive players that are looking to improve their game each year with the hopes of playing baseball at the next level. We will constantly work on the develpment of our players by stressing fundamentals, work ethic, and a positive attitude.
We will continue to put the team in games and tournaments against the best in the Midwest. This will allow kids to showcase their abilites in front of college coaches and pro scouts. We ensure a workable roster which will enable each player to get considerable playing time throughout the summer. We believe the best way to get better over the summer is with plenty of playing time against good competition in connection with a quality coaching staff that loves working to helping kids reach their full potential.
WORK OUT NOV 14, SUNDAY AT 11AM AT PERFECT SWING IN DARIEN FOR PROSPECTIVE PLAYERS.

WHAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID: "In the past couple of years I have had the fortune of working with Derek in evaluating and gathering information on many of his players. He does a great job of providing information to coaches like myself on his players and their development. It is instrumental for us to have great relationships with many of the summer and fall coaches, and in dealing with Derek you are getting a solid baseball guy, who always shoots you straight on the players he coaches throughout the year." -Skylar Meade-Eastern Illinois Baseball Pitching Coach/Recruiting Coordinator
Derek, Mark committed to McKendree University. They were NAIA and will be D-2 next year. They'll be in the GLVC with Lewis, UW Parkside and University of Southern Indiana (last years D2 national champ). It looks like a great fit for Mark. They will use him at 3b & 1b until their catcher graduates. I made sure he personally spoke with the coach to let them know he committed. Thanks again for all you have done for him over these last few years. There's no doubt, he wouldn't have gotten this far without your help.

Hi, Im Jack Olson I was a member of the Naperville Chargers in 2007 the first year of the program. I was able to play baseball with some great guys, and I even keep in contact with many of the guys still today. From my team alone I think they were 10 or 12 of us who went on to play college baseball. That's something a lot of other programs cannot say. The best thing about the Chargers though, may be the help that Derek Golak is willing to give to his players. As a member of the team in 2007 Derek was always keeping things in order making sure all the guys from the team were there on time, and ready to play. Derek Golak though was able to help me unlike any other coach I came across. He was a honest guy who did not lie to me about recruiting. He was able to get me two Division II scholarship offers mid school year just by his connections alone. Ultimately at the end of the day Derek Golak and I were able to sit down and pick out the best school for me. In the spring of 2008 I played baseball NCAA Division II Wisconsin-Parkside and was second on the team in innings pitched and was the number 2 starter. WIthout his help I think I mightve just hung up the cleats, but because of him I was able to play college baseball at a very high level.
