Help Chris Compete on the National Stage

Help Chris Chiles Reach New Heights!

Update: Chris just wrapped up an incredible season with his High School Varsity Basketball team—and he’s only a freshman! As a key player, he helped turn the program around this year, and his future in basketball looks incredibly bright. But to keep moving forward, Chris needs to put in even more work this Spring and Summer.

This March, high school basketball ends, and travel AAU basketball begins. This is Chris’s chance to play with an elite team and gain national exposure. However, travel basketball comes with a hefty price tag, and that’s why I’m reaching out for support.

This year, Chris has earned a spot on the exclusive LVL boys basketball AAU team, which has partnered with Team Rose AAU—led by retired NBA star Derrick Rose. Through this partnership, Chris will compete in the U15-U17 ADIDAS Spring/Summer AAU circuit.

If you’re not familiar with basketball jargon, let me break it down: playing on the ADIDAS Spring/Summer circuit is a huge deal. It’s where Chris will compete against the best high school players in the nation, giving him the opportunity to take his game to the next level.

Here’s a look at some of the cities and states Chris’s team is scheduled to travel to:

- 4/4 - 4/6: Milwaukee, WI

- 4/11 - 4/14: Kansas City, KS

- 4/18 - 4/20: Akron, OH

- 4/25 - 4/27: Detroit, MI

- 5/2 - 5/4: Rock Hill, SC

- 5/9 - 5/11: Fishers, IN

- 5/16 - 5/18: Omaha, NE

- 5/30 - 6/1: Des Moines, IA

- 6/13 - 6/15: Saint Paul, MN

- 7/9 - 7/13: Rock Hill, SC

- 7/17 - 7/20: Lake Ranch, CA (Season Finals)

As you can imagine, travel basketball is expensive. While I’ve saved some funds over the past year, it’s not enough to cover all the costs. That’s why I’m reaching out to ask for your support.

For the Spring/Summer AAU season, player families are responsible for covering:

- Coaches and assistant coaches’ fees

- Gym rental fees

- Tournament entry fees

- Team uniforms

- Hotel stays

- Car rentals and airfare

In today’s basketball world, national exposure is everything. Recruiters no longer just show up to local summer leagues—players have to travel to be seen.

Chris has a natural talent for basketball, but what sets him apart is his love for the game and his dedication to improving. He puts in the work every day to become an elite player. Chris and I would be incredibly grateful if you could contribute to his Spring/Summer travel basketball fund. Every little bit helps, and your support would mean the world to us.

Thank you for considering helping Chris chase his dreams!

With love and gratitude,

The Chiles and Lee Family
