South Suburban Wildcats of Lincoln-Way: Welcome

The South Suburban Wildcats organization was started to give girls the opportunity to play travel basketball while keeping in mind that many of these girls also play other sports. We understand their need to concentrate on school, enjoy family time and realize that it is impossible to give up every weekend to basketball. The organization was started in March of 2007, an idea that ultimately transformed into the South Suburban Wildcats. The organization was built on the premise that all costs would be split evenly, including tournaments and games. The organization is a member of the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) and participates in the top area tournaments. Our Fall/Winter session that runs from October or December to March includes girls' teams at the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels. We practice and play home games in the surrounding Lincoln-Way area. We try to seek out as many local tournaments as possible. However, there are several located in the North Suburbs and just east of the border into Indiana.    

For the first time in the Wildcats history, Lincoln-Way area boys will have an opportunity to play for one of Illinois’ top travel programs. The Wildcats will field boys’ teams at the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grade levels during the 2011-2012 fall/winter season.

The South Suburban Wildcats organization is a positive and respected program choice for girls and boys competitive travel basketball. We strive for the best, but realize the importance of family and school. Our programs are restricted to girls and boys living within the Lincoln-Way District 210 residential boundaries, making the Wildcats a feeder program for the Lincoln-Way district. We have the full support of the administration and coaches of all area 210 schools. We are and will continue to be an independent organization, knowing that staying focused on individual attention is very important to development and understanding the game.  

We offer the highest quality programs, with a cost structure that sets a new standard for travel sports.

GOING PURPLE IS GREAT FOR THE LINCOLN-WAY COMMUNITY!!

From the Wildcats Around Town file...the 2011-2012 season end party was a blast. The party at Fox's included the sixth grade purple, white and the 4th grade team.  The girls celebrated another championship season with pizza, dancing, magic and face painting. The girls had mustangs, flowers, cartoon characters and so many other works of art painted on their faces - everyone was also wearing a smile. 

Best one of the night goes to Nora. This girl can't wait for next season.
