The Minnesota CHILL program, is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that has been one of the most successful and fast-growing youth basketball programs in Minnesota. In addition to providing Youth with opportunities to hone their basketball skills, this program will also prepare them to be good students, strong leaders, and productive citizens in our community.
PROGRAM GOALS:
Prepare Youth to be excellent basketball players, good students and good citizens in our community.
Prepare Youth to compete at the highest level (locally and nationally).
Promote a long-term objective of obtaining a college scholarship in athletics or academics.
HISTORY & SUCCESSES
Our teams have had a lot of success locally and nationally. In 2011, Minnesota CHILL started with one 4th grade team. Since that time, there have been as many as 11 teams created and participate in the Spring and Summer programming. The programming typically begins in late March and goes through the end of July.
Each team gets 2-3 practices per week and 10-14 tournaments per year. Most of the tournaments are in the Twin Cities area. However, every team takes a minimum of 2 out-of-town tournaments – traveling to tournaments in Chicago, Des Moines, Kansas City, Wisconsin Dells, Orlando Florida, Las Vegas, among others.
