About the Fundraiser
Giving back to the community is a core value of Level UP Basketball. Registration money is donated to our partner organizations. In 2024 the we generated just over $5,000 for the St. Giles athletic program. This year, beneficiaries of the fundraiser are expanded to include Whittier Elementary PTO and Longfellow Elementary PTO. Our goal is to reach $10,000 in proceeds, which is 100 registrations. Clinics are open to all Oak Park area players who want to improve their game. Help us reach our goal!

What do the Summer Clinics Look Like?
All clinics are co-ed!
Join us at St. Giles School in the gymnasium for basketball instruction and fun for boys and girls with Level UP Basketball! For an hour each day, players will participate in organized individual skill development to help improve their game. Each clinic session will run Monday thru Thursday.
Level UP Basketball was started in 2011 by Oak Park resident and St. Giles/Whittier parent Steve Larsen. Coach Larsen spent 8 years (2014-2022) as head freshman boys basketball coach at Downers Grove North High School and helped coach the St. Giles 7th grade boys team in 2025. He has over 20 years of coaching and skill development experience. Coach Larsen aims to provide players with the necessary tools to achieve success in both basketball and life by reinforcing teamwork, effort and respect. Clinics will focus on footwork, shooting, ball handling, passing and offensive attack mentality. The goal is to provide kids with high-level coaching in a positive, fun and encouraging environment!
