Premier Since July 2022

Joey’s play has been on the rise the past year! When he’s not home playing with the Chicagoland crew, he’s on the grind with his club mates at the University of Michigan and with the nearby Livonia crew.

 

Lindros Beard

Premier Since 2022

Lindros moved to Chicagoland from Utah in 2023 and has become a regular fixture at our pickups. He’s a great all around player who is especially tough to face when his serves get hot.

Andy was long overdue to qualify for premier. He has one of the deadliest serving arsenals in the state and has been constantly growing his game at Illinois State while being a Revised Roundnet sponsored athlete

Colin is another product of Illinois State’s club and being a Revised Roundnet athlete. He has been practicing a ton the last couple years and saw all that work pay off when him and Andy Trower won the contender division without dropping a single game at the Atlanta Challenger.

Premier since August 2023

Chase has improved a bunch since he started playing with the Illinois Roundnet crew the last couple years. He’s all over the place on defense and has a sneaky good spin heavy jam serve. He earned premier with a 3rd place finish at the Columbus Major’s contender division with our own Wyatt Semke.

Premier since August 2023

Wyatt has been a long time player in Illinois and qualified for premier at the Columbus Major playing with fellow Illinois player Chase Bremner. This will be his 2nd stint in premier after previously qualifying back in 2017. His lefty hits and serves can always cause headaches for opponents. You may also know him from running our Illinois Roundnet tournaments.

Premier since June 2024

Kenny has been one of the most improved players over the past few years in Illinois. He developed some lethal serves the past year with both hands which led him to enough good results to make Team Illinois. He broke through to earn premier at the 2024 Minneapolis Challenger.

 

Adam Weiss


Premier since March 2024

Adam has been a breakout player in 2024. He’s wowed at some pickups late last year and into this year with his impressive serves and hits. When not in Illinois, he’s been training with his college club at Tufts University. He took full advantage of an opportunity to study abroad in Europe during the spring semester where he got to play in multiple European Tour Series events. He even qualified for premier while in Europe which is pretty cool.
