The most important thing to the
Atlanta Select Basketball Association
is its
NAME.
Our coaches, players and parents abide by a
"Code of Conduct"

After purchasing airline tickets and reserved hotel rooms the Mighty Atlanta Select 16u RED (Team 2018) found out that their scheduled tournament in Las Vegas was canceled.
Two organizations found out the team's dilemma and offered games.
Thanks to BigFoots Hoops and Las Vegas FAB 48 for offering
3 games each for our young to play.
The team played 6 games and won 5 of 6 in front of college coaches and scouts.
We believe the team's Good Name helped in erasing this team's dilemma.
Congratulations again for representing the Atlanta Select Extremely well at the Bigfoot and Fab 48 tournaments in Las Vegas.
