Our Mission:

The mission of the Chicago Impact is to help each player develop basketball skills and improve as a player while instilling life-lessons and values such as character, team work, discipline, respect and sportsmanship through the game of basketball. We are dedicated to the principle that success is not given, but earned through hard work, dedication and focus. We are committed to creating a positive culture, in which coaches, parents, fans, officials, and players work together to achieve this.

​

Our Vision:

One of our philosophies of coaching basketball is that it prepares you for life. The work ethic, self-discipline and overall team concepts that are used in the preparation of basketball will benefit student athletes in future endeavors. In fact, we believe that team sports in general, presents an athlete an education that cannot be learned in the classroom, but rather only in an interactive environment like a team structure. Our players will realize that we are not only their coaches, but also elder colleagues who will be a mentor and support them in their personal growth. Our athletes will learn the values of cooperation, goal setting, determination, leadership, and sacrifice.

We present a unique opportunity for kids to learn about the fundamentals of basketball while developing essential life skills such as teamwork, pride, dedication and making good personal choices. We are committed to the development and empowerment of future leaders/athletes by using basketball as a tool to improve health and fitness, excel in academia, develop life skills and values, and to become well-rounded, productive citizens in society. Through our experiences we know that children who have support networks and opportunities such as Chicago Impact at an early age, tend to graduate from school and make better choices both now and in the future. Our goal is to develop our student athletes into not only excellent basketball players, but outstanding student athletes who will most likely be selected to play and succeed at the collegiate level.

​

Our Philosophy:

The Chicago Impact philosophy is that we will grow together and be competitive as a team, when we practice and play the game as a team. We will possess self-discipline and team discipline based on mutual respect for one another. The success of Chicago Impact will rest on our ability to be competitive for the sake of the future development of the player in all areas of basketball as well as their own personal growth and development.
