15u RED, Packed and Ready

Coach Dionne Mason, the Head Coach of the mighty 15u Boys Team RED, held the formal opening of the team's season by holding a parent meeting and issuing equipment to the players. She outlined the plan for the season to include tournament schedules, fundraising plans, and player exposure activities.

The team will be dressed to do battle with their new uniforms, the Nike Solider III LeBron shoes, slides, socks, warm up suits, T-shirts, under armor and back packs. Coach Mason believes "That you only have one time to make a first impression". Thus, they are packed and ready to do battle, representing the Atlanta Select, making a very positive first impression.

We Earned Trophies Too. April 25, 2010.

Five Consecutive Double Digit Victories = Champs.

The mighty 16u Lady Select WHITE are Champs in the 16u YBOA East/West Classic. The ladies were fantastic and represented Atlanta Select well. The team ran off 5 consecutive double digit victories in route to the championship. Outstanding start in their first tournament of the season. Go Select.

We are CHAMPS. Enough Said!

The mighty 13u Lady Select RED, under the leadership of Coaches Hollaway and Jones, have proved to be a force to be reckoned with. In their first major tournament after a slow start this season they destroyed their opponents.

You should have seen SYNERGY in action. In one game as Coach Hollaway was playing double duty with her 16u team at another location and Coach Jones was delayed, Coach Kelly came from the stands and directed the action until she had to leave to coach her game. Then the team parent coordinator, Ms. Kameka Sutton, coached the team until Coach Jones arrived.

A team effort, and something to be proud of for being in the Atlanta Select family that practiced SYNERGY. Go Select.

We Play Eric Snow too, And Win.

The mighty 11u Lady Select PLATINUM finished second in the Eric Snow Hoops Fest last weekend held at Parkview high school. The ladies exemplified the Atlanta Select motto (CARS) Confident, Aggressive, Relentless, SYNERGY. They lost in the championship game to a 12u GA Metro team by 3 points. The ladies are ready to play. Go Select.

Playing up and Earning Trophies.

Coach Watson and the mighty 14u Lady Selects enjoy playing up. This past weekend, the team finished second in the YBOA East/West Classic in the 15u division. Watch out when they start playing in their own age group. These ladies are prepared to carry the torch of Atlanta Select. Congratulations. Go Select..

9u RED Earns Eric Snow's Hoops Fest Trophy

The mighty 9u Boys Team RED earned the first trophy of the weekend by finishing second in the 9u Hoops Fest Classic sponsored by Eric Snow. Mr. Snow gladly posed with each of players, providing them a keepsake of a great NBA player.
