The best training, structure and positive approach to competitive basketball


Elmhurst Airborne is a not-for-profit traveling basketball club for Elmhurst grade school and middle school youths. The mission of this organization is to provide a fun, safe and positive environment for competitive youth basketball in suburban area leagues. We provide an environment for the development of each player's skills, knowledge and appreciation for competitive basketball, as well as the positive values of good sportsmanship and teamwork.

Elmhurst Airborne seeks to provide the best training, structure and positive approach to competitive basketball, as well as an environment in which friendships and the positive values of athletics are nurtured.

Cost
Cost will depend on the number of games and tournaments played. The funds received will be applied to officiating, gym time for games and practices, insurance, tournament admission fees, and a pro-rate share of any necessary administrative costs to run the program. The cost per child will be $400.

Eligibility
The league is open to any Elmhurst/District 205 resident.

Notification
A team will consist of 8-12 players. Those who make the team will receive a call from the coach. A mandatory parent/player meeting (for those children who have made a team) with uniform try-on and fee collection will take place within three weeks of the tryouts.
