Who We Are
The Atlanta Select Basketball
Association is a community based volunteer organization whose primary purpose
is to use youth basketball as a tool to expand the horizon of young
people. The primary goal is to
successfully prepare young boys and girls, both academically and athletically,
for the opportunity to pursue a degree of higher education at the college
level.
Our Operations are based on the concept of SYNERGY
SYN·ER·GY [ s n r-j ] n. pl. syn·er·gies
- The combined power of a group of things when they are working together which
is greater than the total power achieved by each working separately: Team work at its best results in a very
productive synergy.
Synergy Sports looks to accommodate
students that aspire to learn both athletically and academically. Teachers and
coaches often have a profound influence on a person’s life. Synergy Sports and
Tutoring has assembled a team of insightful, knowledgeable coaches and
instructors who are committed to helping young people become skilled, confident,
well-rounded individuals. Intellectual and physical activities are key
components to a healthy and balanced life.
Synergy Sports serves as a vehicle for those who strive to attain
physical prowess, determination, resourcefulness, integrity and a sense of
pride.
We are an official AAU organization that also is sanctioned to play YBOA, USBA, USSSA and all other major youth basketball organizations. We participate in community and recreational leagues also. Many organizations claim to be AAU, but in name only. We are AAU!
Each year we have a CADRE of coaches that implemented the programs of the organization.
Our coaches are required to have background checks and head coaches are issued a handbook of procedures.
Below are pictures of recent CADREs.
We have a track record of success averaging over 25 teams in the organization per season for the last 10 years and with more than 400 student athletes. Last season, which was our tenth, we captured more than 130 trophies.
