The game is just the beginning.

Founded in 1991, Papaflessas is a youth basketball program that teaches skills and teamwork while fostering lifelong friendships and connecting players to their Hellenic heritage. We work with children from age 7 through 99 and compete in tournaments throughout the Chicago area and beyond. Our success comes from our focus on sportsmanship, trust, and, above all, fellowship and the joy of the game.

So Much More than the Game

We believe that growing a deeper connection to our Hellenic heritage is just as important as winning on the court.
