Illinois Raptors AAU 

Responsible Athletes Progressing To Optimize Real Skills is who we are.  Developing young boys skills in order to prepare them for high school athletics is our mission. This mission is accomplished through experienced and qualified coaching, player development and positive encouragement. Our philosophy is to instill a positive attitude, sportsmanship, basic fundamentals, confidence and high standards. Our council is committed to teaching teamwork while promoting the love of the game. Depending on participation, we try to have two teams per age level. We call the levels “Purple” and “White”. The purple level is for more experienced players and the white level is for developmental players.
