Comments from our members

"I just want to say that this program is money well spent.  We've been involved in various programs for different sports and your price is more than reasonable"

"I felt the coaches did an outstanding job teaching fundamentals and working with the boys with defense and offense plays at practice.  I also appreciate the time they devoted for practices and games.  My son enjoyed his play on the Xplosion 4th grade team"

"I am especially grateful for the time, energy and passion provided by the coaches and organizers of this program."

"I think the Xplosion is a first class operation.  From the uniforms, to the website, to the info updates, to the tournaments, and to the coaches.  Our kids are so lucky to be part of this organization.  Thanks for all of your hard work and time you have put in making this organization GREAT!  It can only continue to get better!!"

"My son had a great season and we hope to continue to play for the Xplosion next season.  Thank You!!

"We were very pleased with the Xplosion Program.  We loved, loved, loved our coaches.  The program itself was excellent.  My son loves basketball now more than ever.  Thank you for all the hard work that was put into the program."

 Lincoln-Way Xplosion Basketball Club

The Lincoln-Way Xplosion Basketball Club is the first of its kind competitive basketball program in the Lincoln-Way Community for both boys and girls.  It is a non-profit organization and member of the Amateur Athletic Association.

 How did the Lincoln-Way Xplosion Basketball Team develop?

A years ago, we came to a realization that there was a void in our community in the area of needing a developmental boys and girls basketball program that would ultimately feed the Lincoln-Way High School District 210 basketball programs.  We decided to start small and in February 2006 applied for an application to the Amateur Athletic Association to form the Lincoln-Way Xplosion Basketball Club as a 501(c) 3 tax exempt non-profit organization.  Our application was accepted and we started with one sixth grade boys team at that time.  As word got out into the community, interest in forming new teams under our organization had increased  and we formed 4^th through 8^th grade boys and girls teams by November, 2006.  Our Board of Directors have since had many productive meetings with members of the Administration at Lincoln-Way School District 210 along with conversations with the some of the high school basketball coaches.  And it is with their support, that our first winter season was a complete success.  We are looking forward to many more successful seasons.

 Mission Statement

The mission of the Lincoln-Way Xplosion Basketball Club is to provide a top-flight competitive basketball program for student athletes in the Lincoln-Way School Districts.  The long-term vision of the program is to become the developmental feeder program for the area Junior High and High School basketball programs.  Focus will be placed on providing highly qualified and motivated coaches who teach fundamental and advanced basketball skills to student athletes who desire to compete in a dedicated, supportive and disciplined team environment.  Lastly, it is the club’s desire to capitalize on the Xplosive growth in our community and unify competitive  basketball under one name, one organization, which exemplifies class and a winning tradition both on and off the court.
