About Us

The Illinois Surge is an official club of AAU.  Located in the NW suburbs of Illinois, we focus on developing student athletes through weekly elite skills practice and competitive tournaments primarily around the Midwest.  Some teams may qualify for National AAU tournaments around the country. 
 

Our goal is to further develop our players so they can reach their full potential on their athletic journey through middle school and high school.  We regularly work with scouts and put our players on the radars of various colleges. 

​

Coach Billy Surges has been coaching high school athletes in the Chicago area for over a decade now and competed in AAU basketball since 6th grade.  The game of basketball keeps changing.  Our priority is to prepare our athletes to be well-rounded on both sides of the ball, great ball handlers, knock-down shooters, and understand the little things like hard work and the maximum effort that goes into making yourself a better player, person, and student athlete.
