Breakaway Basketball is a basketball skill-development program for players in kindergarten through 12th grade, based in Oak Brook and running classes, teams and leagues across Illinois. Its summer offerings are session-based rather than full-day: a summer camp for high school boys and girls that combines about two hours of skill work with an hour of game play and a tournament on the final day, plus summer leagues playing 4v4 at the 3rd-6th grade level and 5v5 at 7th-9th. It also partners with the Oak Brook Park District on the Get Better League, a 3v3 league for incoming 1st-5th graders that practices once a week and plays Thursday evenings over a six-week season. The high school camp is open to all players, not only those on Breakaway teams.

Powered by GoogleBreakaway Basketball has been nothing short of amazing for our daughter. She has been able to not only learn the sport better, but has been able to thrive with tough skills due to the coaching and staff. Her confidence and ability to play basketball is a direct reflection of Breakaway’s values and coaching. The skills camps have been a huge help with her game and the Breakaway teams she has played for have been amazing. Clearly I cannot say enough about Breakaway. From knowing no one on day 1 to having made her best friends and now knowing most of the staff; it’s incredible the effect Breakaway has had on our daughter! Basketball isn’t the only thing she’s learned- life skills and friendships are also included!
We can’t say enough good things about this basketball program! All three of our kids look forward to every single academy, practice and game. From the moment our family signed up for Breakaway, we were welcomed by encouraging coaches who truly care about teaching the game while also building teamwork, confidence, and sportsmanship. The practices are well-organized, and the coaches balance skill-building with fun so the kids are always engaged. We’ve seen such improvement not only in their basketball skills but also in their confidence and friendships. The atmosphere is positive and supportive, and it’s clear that the staff goes above and beyond to make every child feel included and valued.
Breakaway oozes both positivity and knowledge of the game. This combination makes for an incredible experience. My kids have each been going to breakaway since kindergarten and the program is truly the reason they each have grown in basketball skill, on/off court leadership, and on/off court confidence. The trainers incredibly develop relationships with each player (know names, special handshakes, and the like). The administrative staff is responsive and supportive. The programming offered is top-notch - it has been amazing to watch the Breakaway model grow as my kids grow! I cannot say enough and encourage families to check out Breakaway!
Breakaway Basketball is by far the best player development program in the country. Their coaches do an amazing job of connecting with each player and then pushing them to reach their fullest potential. The basketball knowledge their coaching staff has is second to none. Breakaway develops players from beginners to high level college prospects. My son and daughter love their coaches and the environment that Breakaway provides. My son started working with Breakaway in 1st grade and now as a 6th grader he still attends many of the Breakaway programs. Much of my son's basketball development can be attributed to the coaching and environment Breakaway provides. Breakaway is our first choice for our family because it is the best coaching you will find. As a former college basketball player and a current coach, I recommend Breakaway to any parent who has a child that wants to get better at Basketball. Thank you Breakaway for helping my children to love the game, work hard, and get better!
Our family is a huge fan of this organization. Both of our kids have or do currently play for Breakaway and we could not say enough about how great this organization is. From the Coaches, to the staff, the photographer/videographer, their social media manager, and beyond, Breakaway is a top notch organization teaching kids the fundamentals of basketball the right way. Our kids have gotten better, their love for the game has intensified and the way they have been involved with our sons recruiting behind the scenes speaks volumes to how much they care for each of their players. Another bonus to being a part of the Breakaway family are the relationships that we have made with other coaches/staff, teammates and families will last a lifetime. Next up, we are excited to see the girls program continue to grow as we now have a player thriving on that side as well.
