Illinois Express Basketball Club is one of the fastest-growing grassroots travel programs in the Chicagoland area, built on a foundation of hard work, accountability, & a team-first mentality. Our mission is simple: to develop players, prepare them for the next level, and teach the game the right way—with discipline, detail, & passion. We expect commitment not just from our players, but from coaches & families as well, because true growth happens when everyone is bought in. Our staff is made up of USA Basketball Gold Certified coaches who bring years of knowledge, experience, & proven success to every practice & game. Illinois Express offers opportunities for players at every stage—from beginners just starting their journey to highly competitive athletes ready to test themselves against the nation’s best. Each season, our boys & girls teams compete across top circuits including UA, GNBA, Prep Hoops, MADE Hoops, Evo, USA Basketball, Balling on the Beach, & more. More than wins and losses, we’re about building a culture where athletes learn to be leaders, teammates, & competitors who are ready for the challenges ahead—on and off the court. We look forward to welcoming your family into ours, & to helping every player who wears Express across their chest reach their full potential.
