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.    

The South Suburban Wildcats is a not-for-profit organization whose only focus is girls' sports. Focusing on “girls only” dictates everything we do; from the way the organization trains, and practices, to its motivation of the players.  

The South Suburban Wildcats organization is a positive and respected program choice for girls competitive travel basketball. We strive for the best, but realize the importance of family and school. Our programs are restricted to girls 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 girls' basketball will allow players to benefit from the individual attention that 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.
