Team Illinois International Select
is Illinois Basketball.
Team Illinois International Select is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving boys and girls ages 10 to 17. Our ambition is to create a premier in-state summer program providing guidance and growth opportunities to at-risk and under-served Illinois youth. We seek to elevate the profile and performance of Illinois-based student athletes so that they are respected and sought out by universities and college coaches in Illinois and throughout the United States.
Athletics
Team Illinois International Select is comprised of both boys and girls teams for Grades 5th thru 12th. Team Illinois International Select conducts tryouts throughout the state of Illinois seeking first and second tier elite athletes to represent Illinois in domestic and international competitions. Selected athletes will have the opportunity to compete against elite competition from all across the US and select foreign countries such as China, Mongolia, France, Lithuania and Italy.
Academics
Team Illinois International Select places enormous emphasis on academic success as a precursor to participation in athletics. Many of our student-athletes are repeat participants of their school honor roll. By contrast, there are others who need a wide range of supportive services and this is why we exist.
Achievements
In it’s first year of existence Team Illinois International Select proudly represented the state in the World games. Team Illinois International Select entered 7 teams into the World games competition. Of the 7 teams entered, Team Illinois International Select earned two 1st place finishes for grades 5th and 7th and two 2nd place finishes for grades 6th and 8th.
“Team Illinois International Select has opened doors for my family.”
