Illinois Tigers Basketball is an AAU Basketball Club
The Illinois Tigers basketball program is based in Northern Illinois. We believe that elite level ballplayer is not a title that is given, but rather earned. We believe that family, passion, and hard work are the building blocks. It is the Tigers mission to help youth and high school players reach the next level – whatever level that may be for that specific player.
