At Play Hard Hoops (PHH), we are dedicated to offering a unique and effective developmental opportunity for the area’s most committed and talented youth players. The foundation of the PHH City Warriors travel basketball program is built on a structured, disciplined, and passionate environment where commitment, personal values, and principles are prioritized.
In partnership with parents, we provide a platform for character development, preparing boys and girls for the pressures of competitive basketball and life beyond the court.
Our Philosophy:
Entering its 16th year, PHH offers a high-quality basketball educational experience in the Chicagoland area. We focus on developing critical team concepts and strong fundamentals for each player.

Success on the floor is a result of our process. We are not defined by championships but by the impact we leave on people. Our staff emphasizes key leadership values and principles to today’s youth. Our top goal is to create memorable team experiences that positively impact a player’s growth on and off the court.
