Volleyball Tournaments

In competitive volleyball, winning takes teamwork from all players on the court. Matches are often intense, with teams using sets and spikes to score against their opponents. Winning a competitive volleyball match means having strong communication and the ability to adapt to the flow of the game.

At Wintrust Sports Complex, we host some of the largest and most competitive volleyball tournaments in the region. Our facility is equipped with 16 NCAA volleyball courts, which means there’s plenty of space for multiple games to run simultaneously. Spectators can enjoy the action from our mezzanine viewing area, which sits on the second floor and makes it easy to see across all the courts. We also offer amenities like team meeting rooms, a referee room, and a café with full kitchen service to feed hungry athletes before or after the matches. 

Pickleball Tournaments

As pickleball continues to grow in popularity, so do the number of people who want to participate in tournaments. Here at Wintrust Sports Complex, we host both competitive and recreational tournaments with skill levels, and our players range from local amateur athletes to professional-level competitors who are vying for prizes and titles. No matter whether you’re a player or a spectator, getting involved in pickleball is always a good time.

Our facility is equipped with courts that can meet the needs of both new and professional pickleball players. Spectators will also love coming to matches at our facility thanks to our large viewing areas that allow family, friends, and fans to follow the action.

Basketball Tournaments

Competitive basketball requires agility, strategic thinking, and teamwork to navigate the court and make great plays, and winning basketball tournaments often hinges on the players’ ability to adapt to their opponents’ styles and keep up their endurance throughout the game.

At Wintrust Sports Complex, we host some of the most exciting basketball tournaments in the area.

Wrestling Tournaments 

Success in wrestling is often determined by a wrestler’s ability to outmaneuver their opponent while maintaining control throughout the match. Wintrust Sports Complex has experience hosting wrestling tournaments, and we can host yours in our facility as well.

Soccer Tournaments 

Competitive soccer is as popular now as it ever has been, with more and more players discovering the fun and excitement of racing across the field and scoring against the other team. 

Wintrust Sports Complex is the ideal venue for hosting indoor soccer tournaments. Our indoor facility is designed to accommodate soccer events of all levels, from local youth tournaments to larger, more competitive regional matches. With ample space and flexible event setups, we can easily customize our venue to meet your needs.

Cheer and Dance

In cheerleading competitions, teams typically combine stunts, tumbling, and cheers to show off their athleticism and team spirit, while dance competitions focus on artistic expression across styles like jazz, hip-hop, or ballet. At Wintrust Sports Complex, we host both cheer and dance competitions. 

Futsal Tournaments 

Futsal is a sport that’s similar to soccer but played on a smaller, hard court as opposed to grass or turf. It’s also usually played indoors, with teams of five players per side. The futsal ball is kicked around like a soccer ball, except the ball is smaller and doesn’t bounce as much, which means players have to have better ball control and be able to pass quickly back and forth to each other. Wintrust Sports Complex can host your next futsal tournament on our indoor court.
