Sixteen Select Teams in one tournament. The most since our first year in which we had 13 teams in one YBOA tournament. Let's take over the tournament and bring in the gold and at least all teams should qualify for the USSSA Nationals. Your goal is to finish in the top 4 in your age group. All teams that finish in the top 4 will be recognized. Brothers will be playing brothers. Be civil and no mess. Support each other when you are not playing. There nothing like the family cheering  for you in the stands. Take group pictures. Go to lunch together. Show SYNERGY. The email/phone number of each head coach is above.


There is another little tournament that taking place, Bob Gibbons,  probably the most prestigious tournament in the South East. We will have five teams participating, Coach Hansbrough and his Mighty 18u PREEMINENT, Coach Hill and his Mighty two teams, the 16u SILVER and BLACK, Coach Ricker and his Mighty 16u CLASSIC team and Coach Gates and his mighty 17u/18u BLACK team.

Boy, I cannot wait to see what the NEWS will be next Monday.

SYNERGY.

A Class Act by the Real AAU

THE REAL AAU CARES ABOUT YOUTH BASKETBALL

The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) was made aware of the unfortunate incident that involved your club and the Elevate Basketball Circuit.  Over the last two weeks, we’ve put together a plan to assist your club and the teams affected.
Although, the AAU had no involvement with this organization or the people involved, we care about the well-being of the athletes, coaches, and families affected.  As the nationally recognized youth basketball leader, the AAU would like to offer you a FREE OPPORTUNITY to participate in one AAU licensed event.  Attached to this email you will find a listing of events that you may choose from for this year only.


Two Atlanta Select teams were caught in this scam, but thanks to AAU for being a class act. 
Thanks to AAU from Atlanta Select Basketball Association.
