THE FRANKFORT WARRIORS
The Frankfort Warriors started in 2003 when Tom Anstett, assistant boys basketball coach at Lincoln-Way East and former college player, formed a fourth grade travel team in cooperation with the Frankfort Park District.  He decided to expand this to grades 4-8 in 2005.  Currently, the FIBA (Frankfort Instructional BoysBasketball Association) is a five-level travel basketball program for boys, grades 4 - 8. 

The emphases of our program are skill development and improvement gained thru multiple weekly practices and games.  Parents and others have volunteered their time and energy to learn aspects of coaching basketball and have contributed immensely to the program's growth.
The Warriors not only provide quality coaching and competition; but also help develop a core foundation of ethics (teamwork, commitment, responsibility, respect and sportsmanship) into our players that they can use now and take with them into adulthood.

The Foundation of Our Program is Based Upon 3 Main Principles.

1.  We will teach and stress fundamental and advanced

skill sets and be dedicated to the development of all of our players' basketball skills. 

2.  We will give all our players the opportunity to play at a

high level of competition in a structured, well coached, team environment. 

3.  We will stress sportsmanship.  We want our kids to not only be great basketball players; but also to be great young men.

A Note From Tom Anstett

Dear Warrior Parents and Players,

I hope this finds you all well.  First, I want to say a sincere thank you for all of your support of the Warrior program, whether you have been in the program for years or just started.  I hope you are enjoying the program and look forward to more excitement and improvement in the future.

I wanted to communicate two things to you.  First, our organization is alive and well…and will be even better down the road.  Any discussion you might overhear about Warriors disappearing is simply untrue.  Second, we are reorganizing a bit since I am stepping back due to my older son playing college basketball next year and my younger son entering high school.  Larry Caracciolo has stepped up to take the lead in administrating the Warriors organization.  I want to thank him for volunteering to do this.  Furthermore, I intend to continue to be involved with Warriors by overseeing the instruction of the coaches, a role I will fulfill by having more meetings with the coaches in the fall and by assisting practices with all the levels periodically once seasons begin.

Lastly, I would like to encourage you to enroll your sons in the East basketball camps this summer.  This would be an excellent way to keep basketball in your son’s head when it counts most – the summertime is the time for individual improvement in this sport.  The East camps give quality instruction for this.

Have a great summer and thank you again for all the support!

Sincerely,

Tom Anstett
