The program offers T-Ball, Coach-Pitch, Saturday Lil League, Advanced Baseball Classes, Private Lessons, and Team Training.

Lil Sluggers states that its mission is to prepare boys and girls ages 2 through 8 for their journey into organized team play by improving and developing their social and physical skills both on and off the field. Basic baseball fundamentals are described as the core of the curriculum, and its classes and coach-pitch instructional leagues are described as building confidence, reinforcing team play, teaching cooperation, and fostering a love for the game. The program notes an energetic pace of classes, small player-to-coach ratios, and an approach that minimizes kids’ wait time between turns, with the stated philosophy: have FUN, build CONFIDENCE, and learn BASEBALL, in that order. Saturday Lil League is run like a real league with teams in full uniform, with T-Ball for ages 4 and 5 and Coach-Pitch for ages 6 to 8, and the program notes that it is never too late to join the current session. The program also offers classes, private lessons, and team training for ages 9 and up and indicates that it will provide updates as it receives them from the Chicago Park District.
