Welcome to the 2026 season of Illinois Basketball Club and welcome to the IBC family.

 

VISION:
Our vision is to see every young basketball player in Central Illinois have the necessary tools to reach their full potential in the sport and in life.

MISSION:
To train and equip basketball players physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

METHOD:

Physical (What) – Focus on what our athletes do.  This includes a focus on developing on-court skill sets along with off-court disciplines that promote an overall healthy lifestyle. 

Mental (When) – Focus on when our athletes do what they do.  This includes a focus on developing players’ basketball IQ.  Basketball IQ relates to the many factors that show a player’s ability to process information at game speed.

Emotional (How) – Focus on how our athletes play.  This includes a focus on developing players’ ability to cope well with the potential positive and negative outcomes of playing the game of basketball.

Spiritual (Why) – Focus on why our athletes play.  This includes a focus on developing players’ understanding that basketball is not who they are, but instead something that can be used to glorify God.
