The most "X-CITING" girls basketball program in Illinois!  ILLINOIS X-CITEMENT is for the serious ball player that wants to put in the time and effort to get better. We focus on individual players that have a desire to play this game in high school and college. We offer a unique opportunity for players to play against older competition on a regular basis. We prepare our players both physically and mentally.

Our club basketball team was started in May of 2004. We offer a YEAR ROUND basketball program. We focus on increasing individual skills and team development concepts for girls in grades 5th through 11th.

"Anyone can come along and coach your daughter, we TRAIN our players to give them the necessary skills to be the best."

We develop & enhance individuals so they can be better individual players; emphasizing the improvement of fundamentals and athletic ability, as well as gaining an understanding of the game of basketball.

OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE, is to help prepare players for the college level.

We are looking for committed players that want to work in a team orientated environment. Committed, meaning (outside of school work) basketball is their #1 priority. All other activities and sports are secondary. If having to decide between the two, basketball always wins out.

All players interested in ILLINOIS X-CITEMENT should come and see how we conduct a practice, run drills, and experience the competitve drive of the program.
