Supreme is fortunate to have a group of high-level trainers and coaches who offer specialized position specific training while competing in 7-on-7. Our practices and training environment provide an opportunity to be privately trained by QB, WR and DB coaches who have established themselves as some of the best in the Chicagoland area. We run real routes, real concepts, real coverages and real game situations to transfer back to 11-man football. This is not playground football.
Some of the names on our coaching staff include Greg Holcomb, CEO Next Level; Jared McGriff-Culver, HS Coach, Private Trainer & DC; Matt Slusher, QB Coach & HS Coach; Brody Budmayr, QB Coach & HS Coach; Corey Fardon, Defensive Coach & LB Coach; Rob Garcia, QB/WR Coach; Vontae Diggs, Defensive Coach & DB Coach, Chris James, WR Coach & HS Coach; Brandon Vinson, WR Coach; Zach Vargas, HS OC & QB Coach; Arthur Porter, DB Coach; Greg Bess, DB Coach; Pierre Burmett, WR Coach; Pete Houlihan, DB Coach
SUPREME PRACTICE - Practice and all tryouts will be held at the Bo Jackson Elite Sports Dome in Bensenville, IL. A $9 million facility, BJESD is THE premiere indoor in the Midwest with turf space to accommodate all our teams. Practices will typically be on Saturday afternoons in January/early Feb. Once the season begins we will practice less due to weekend tournaments.
SUPREME TRAVEL - The top 18U & 15U teams will participate in two national travel tournaments at Battle Vegas and Prep RedZone Nashville. We want to be conscious of travel costs for families so we do not load the schedule with expensive travel. Other tournaments on the schedule that are more regional and local include Red Zone Elite Chicago and Indy, Legacy Michigan, & Elite 7evens in Columbus, Indiana.
SUPREME LOCAL - These teams will be playing in-house games at Westmont Yard during their winter & spring season from March through early May.

What is the cost to play Supreme 7v7?
The National Travel Team fee is $500, which includes costs for Battle jerseys, compression shorts and other accessories from Battle. The team fee also includes practice facility costs, which is at the Bo Jackson Elite Sports Dome, the premiere indoor facility in Illinois. The team fee cost does NOT include fees for each tournament. Those will be done on a pay per play situation where athletes pay only for the tournaments that they can play in.
Local team fees are $400 and includes jerseys, WY in-house league fee and turf time for practices. Any local tournament that we play in will fall under the same pay per play format as we use for the National Travel Team.
How many players will be taken on each team?
We will roster each team with 2, possibly 3 QB’s and approximately 15-20 skill players on the National Travel Teams.
We will roster 2, possibly 3 QB’s and approximately 15-20 players on the Local Teams.
Who covers the cost for flights, hotel and expenses for the National Team?
We do NOT roster an unlimited roster of athletes to have them pay their team fee to cover the travel costs for the elite athletes, like our competition does. Travel to national events at Battle are covered by the athlete and his family. If you cannot find the financial resources to play travel Supreme, then the local team is more likely a fit for you and your family.
What if I can't afford the team fee or travel costs to play Supreme?
We don’t overcharge the masses to help cover the costs for the small handful of talented athletes who feel like they can’t afford to play Supreme. If you feel like there is value in playing with our program, you can fund raise or do what you need to do to cover the costs to play for Supreme. We also are human and understand that $500 and $400 may not fit everyone’s budget. So we can explore the option of a dual payment plan.
Where are practices located and how often do we practice?
Teams will practice at the 9 million dollar Bo Jackson Elite Sports Dome, 1000 Commerce Ct., Bensenville, IL. BJESD is THE premiere indoor facility in Illinois and across the Midwest and is the official home of Bo Jackson Elite Supreme 7v7.
We played for anotber program in the past. Can athletes play on both teams when the other is not playing in a tournament?
There is absolutely no possible way to make that work.
As a Battle team, what gear is involved?
We will have a few different jerseys and short combinations during the season for various tournaments and league play. We are putting together the swag package per player but realize that Battle awards apparel and accessories to their teams based on success. Win and receive more and more gear.
What if I have baseball or lacrosse practice and games all winter and can’t make many of the Supreme practices and will miss some games?
Then you are probably on the right path to being a baseball or lacrosse player. Good luck. Unfortunately we will NOT take on athletes on the National Travel Team who play sports that get in the way of 7v7. We understand you play other sports and we support that. But we also need athletes who can commit to this program for games and tournaments.
