Mercury Elite's Girls Program Returns!

We are thrilled to announce that our Mercury Elite Girls Program will return in the Spring of 2025! For the past 17 years, we have had the opportunity to work with athletes of all ages across the Chicagoland area. Over the course of that time, we’ve had over 200 players go on to play college basketball at over 100 colleges and universities across the country. Our alumni list is incredible!

Our approach as a program has always been built on skill development, competing at a high level, and pouring into each young athlete's love for the game of basketball. This approach has helped us see incredible growth over the last few years in our boys program, and we are thrilled to be able to deliver the same opportunities to girls basketball.

Tryouts will be held on January 12th, 2025 at Sawmill Sports Hub in Willowbrook. Times are currently TBD.
