STC SILVER HAWKS ANNOUNCMENT!
For the past 3 years the STC Silver Hawks have had a partnership with the New Lenox Lightning organization. It started with one 14U STC Silver Hawks team becoming a New Lenox Lightning team based out of St. Charles. The following year, through hard work from both organizations, the players and coaches, this team won a PGF national qualifier tournament. This qualified them for the PGF Premier Division National Championship in California. They finished in the top 25 of the PGF Premier 16U division at PGF Nationals. Many of these players are now playing for the New Lenox Lightning 18u Gold team.
With the success of this partnership over the last three years along with New Lenox Lightning’s 34-year history of developing collegiate players, we feel it is the right time to further deepen this relationship between our two organizations.
We are excited to announce that this upcoming 2023-2024 season we will be the home for Lightning Futures (13u and under), Lightning and New Lenox Lightning (14u -18u) teams. Our goal is to provide all our teams with the same player development and coaching philosophy that has made New Lenox Lightning successful on a national stage for the past 22 years. Our teams will practice at our St Charles East Side Sports Complex fields and train at our St. Charles partner facilities. Everyone within both organizations feels this enhanced partnership provides all our athletes the best opportunity to play at the highest levels, compete in the best tournaments and have one of the best college exposure paths offered in the area.
If you have questions or are interested in learning more about our programs, please contact Jay Petrick or Jim Abbott.
