Boys High School Travel

East Ave boys HS travel teams are among the most competitive in the Midwest and are often ranked in the top 100 teams in the country. AA and A teams compete at the top recruiting showcases in the Midwest, such as the Team Illinois Fall and Summer Invitationals, and on the East Coast, such as the Baltimore Fall Invitational and Baltimore Summer Kick Off.

Each year East Ave graduates go on to play at the NCAA D1, D2 and D3 levels, with several alumni earning college captain and All-American honors. Colleges across the country recognize that the East Ave brand represents players of the highest skill, creativity and character.

Tryouts for the HS program are rare because players rarely leave, and we stay loyal to our players throughout their college recruiting process. If you're looking for next-level development and college exposure, reach out and one of our coaches will get back to you.

Every player also gets weekly speed, agility and strength training on the training turf before or after their game, led by the experts at Iron Flag Fitness. Also at no additional charge.

Recruiting

School-First Recruiting

Our East Ave recruiting directors meet regularly with our student-athletes and their parents in one-on-one Zoom meetings to construct, refine and attack their list of potential schools.

Our school-first focus on finding the right fit has led to more players staying at their first-choice school — and to over 200 college commitments.
