Timmy Hallberg Position

Chicagoland's finest AAU/travel basketball program is a first-class organization that excels in uniforms, facilities, tournaments, and coaching. Coach Parker is a top-notch leader with excellent offensive and defensive strategies. He is dedicated to transforming boys into young men by emphasizing organization, discipline, character, hard work, and respect. Our experience with the program has been positive, and we anticipate continued growth with this outstanding organization. The team's development and tournament success are attributed to weekly film study and practices. Having knowledge of several AAU programs, I can confidently say that IGT offers one of the best programs available, meeting all the criteria of an excellent AAU program. I highly recommend anyone looking for an AAU program to consider being a part of something special by checking out IGT. - Joe Hallberg

I highly recommend Coach Parker and Illinois Game Time (IGT). My daughter experienced growth in her skills and confidence on the court during her time with IGT. The coach has an amazing ability to keep players engaged and motivated while focusing on player improvement and team synergy. He is an excellent communicator to both players and parents. He goes above and beyond typical coaching and often shows up to a school game to support his players. Coach Parker's commitment and desire to see his students succeed in basketball and the classroom is admirable and makes him a great mentor. Our family had a great experience with Illinois Game Time.

Collin Brousseau Position

My son returned to basketball in February after a tough year battling cancer. Although he lacked confidence and stamina, he still had the drive and determination to improve. Coach Parker welcomed him to the IGT team with open arms and provided him with the tools he needed to become the best version of himself. He has played for two seasons with IGT, and we have been very happy with our experience. - Katie Crotty Brousseau

We really enjoyed our time playing with IGT. Professional and well organized program. We always experienced great communication from the coaching staff and tournaments were clearly identified. Our daughter's confidence on the basketball court increased after working with Coach Parker. There was always time for skill development and encouragement to be the best player possible. I would highly recommend The IGT program to any youth player looking to improve their game. – Lori Bearbower

Monique Nkwogu Small Forward

My time at Illinois Game Time was incredibly influential and played a significant role in shaping my basketball career. I was honored to be part of a team committed to winning and pushing each other to be better every day. It meant a lot to me when Coach Parker took a chance on me during my junior year, and I will always be grateful for that opportunity. Illinois Game Time has been a pivotal part of my journey and success in basketball, and I am proud to be part of this team and community, both then and now.

Kaitlyn Parker Position

We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience with the Illinois Game Time AAU basketball team! The team spirit was unmatched, and the environment was positive and supportive every step of the way. Watching our daughter develop both as a player and a person has been incredible. Coach Anthony Parker has been supportive and inspiring throughout her journey. Even as she continues her basketball career in college, Coach Parker’s continued guidance and encouragement mean so much to us. It’s clear that he truly cares about the success and growth of each player, both on and off the court. We’re so grateful for the lasting impact this program has had on our daughter. -Lorenzo Parker

Hayven Harden Position

I would recommend the IGT program to an athlete who loves the game of basketball and wants to get better and play at a higher level. Coach Parker is a very patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging coach to play for. He will take an athlete's raw talent and help mold it into an incredible work of art to watch on the court, as long as that athlete is willing to put in 100% time and dedication as well. IGT will build the confidence of any athlete, which will help them reach new heights.-Drea Harden

James Parker Position

My son James played for Game Time from 4th to 8th grade, and our experience with this team was truly unforgettable. What we initially thought would be just a team turned into an extended family. From Coach Parker, his wife Crystal (the real coach!), and their children to the parents and siblings of other players, we built lasting connections. Even after our time with Game Time ended, Coach Parker continued to be a mentor, guide, and role model for my son, James. He has remained a supportive voice in James’ education and has even been there for my husband and me when needed. If you’re simply looking for a team, Gametime isn’t it. But if you’re looking for a family, you’ve found the right place. -The Wright Family
