IL HoopStars offers travel teams during spring, summer fall for boys & girls, ages 10U-17U, grades 4th-11th. Teams will compete in national, regional & local tournaments. Our goal is to help every level of player gain skills to prepare them for the next level of their basketball journey. HoopStars provides two levels to our travel basketball teams, Elite Teams and Academy Teams. Providing an environment for all types of athletes to develop. Giving our players the incentive to work hard, as we are able to promote players from an Academy team to our Elite Team.
We also want to develop leaders on and off the court. Communication will be big, both with their teammates in the game and with their Coaches. We would expect the same respect extended to their parents, teachers, mentors, etc. We strive to develop character which we believe will increase the mental fortitude, toughness and willingness to sacrifice as a teammate.

We expect players to communicate in an efficient manner and parents to communicate in an adequate manner with program directors and coaches. This will help everyone work together towards the same goals. Certain expectations of players such as GPA minimums (Report Card requirements), practice and game attendance, commitment to the team, etc We want players that contribute to their development as a basketball player with us, and the collective team effort to compete and win games
