Visit The Gyms

This page gives you the opportunity to do what I did and visit many of Illinois’ best high school gyms. Minus the 4 years and thousands of miles on your vehicle.

Check out some detailed pictures of many of the gyms in the book, as well as other gyms I’ve visited over the years.
Each gym page will have some additional details and photos added. But don’t expect too much. I have to save somethings for the book. Including several gyms not mentioned on this website.
