Teamwork:
The UIC Flames formula for success is based on teamwork. It is our belief that to win games requires an overall team effort. We extend this principle into the philosophy of the UIC Basketball Day Camp. Players are arranged for competitive balance, and everyone will play games on a daily basis.
