Chicago Cannons Fall '26 TRAVEL BASKETBALL
(HIGH SCHOOL BOYS)

After two full year under the Chicago Cannons name, the growth of the program has been tremendous. Powered by Play Hard Hoops, the Cannons have established themselves as a respected and competitive presence in the city’s high school basketball scene—offering structured development, high-level competition, and consistent improvement opportunities.

As we look toward Fall 2026, the Cannons will once again offer high school travel teams, focusing primarily on the 15, 16, & 17U levels. We expect the following teams for a 9 week Fall season in preparation of High School tryouts:

 

-15u North & South (2-3 freshman teams)

-16u North & South (2-3 sophomore teams)

-17u (1-2 junior teams)

We're incredibly proud of how far the program has come in just two years, with Cannons and Warriors athletes now representing high school teams across the city. Players from our system are competing at programs including:
Amundsen, Brother Rice, DePaul Prep, Francis W. Parker, Lake Forest Academy, Lake View, Lane Tech, Latin, Lincoln Park, Marist, Mount Carmel, St. Ignatius, St. Rita, University of Chicago Lab, Walter Payton, Whitney Young, and more!

The Cannons Travel Program is directed by Coach Michael Kaye (PHH Director/Mount Carmel Sophomore Coach), alongside a highly experienced coaching staff:

Isaac Moore (Former St. Pat’s player & assistant coach, D2 player at Dominican)
Calvin Hill (Mount Carmel Freshman Head Coach)
