Time Flies!
On October 23, Atlanta Select Basketball Association will begin, officially, its 13th season.
Back in October 2005 we had no idea that we would grow to be a dynamic force in the
AAU community.
Thanks to the dedicated coaches, student athletes, family, fans and friends that have made our organization so successful.
******
We bid goodbye to one of our most successful coaches, Coach Anthony Burton.
After 9 years with the organization and propelling numerous student athletes to the next level, Coach Burton is moving on to coach basketball at South West DeKalb High School.
We are confident that he will have a successful tenure there.
Congratulations and Best of Luck to Coach Tony.

Another former Atlanta Select coach who moved on a couple of years ago to
Green Forest Christian Academy and winning two State championships,
Coach Larry Thompson will lead the basketball team at Wheeler High School,
a powerhouse in the State of Georgia and the nation.
Congratulations and the Best of Luck to Coach Larry.
