8th GRADE BOYS PREDATORS’
TRYOUT & TEAM INFORMATION

The Central Illinois Predators is a competitive club basketball program offered at THE GYM of Springfield. The club was established to fill a need in the Central Illinois area for talented girls and boys who want to play at the most competitive levels of basketball. It is our goal to compete with other teams vying for State, Regional and National titles.

The Predators are looking for players who are dedicated to the sport, want to sharpen their skills, and want to compete against the best players at their age level. Due to the high interest for 8th grade boys, we will be having a second team and Brian Ackley will be the coach for the upcoming season.
