The Select Nation enters the last 3 months of the AAU season with 32 active teams with 421  AAU registered coaches and student athletes.  Twenty eight of the active teams have added to the Trophy Count and the other 4 are just getting started. We list the Trophy Count as a goal, only a goal to strive for. We do not care if no trophies are earned, but it is a goal because a "man must have a goal".
We care about the progressive development of the student athlete in our pillars of our organization.

EDUCATION - LIFE SKILLS - SPORTS

At the end os the season if our student athletes have done better in School (EDUCATION)


Exposed to new and varied issues to succeed in life (LIFE SKILLS)

Better basketball players based on their skill development (SPORTS)

Then we have been successful as an organization, true to our primary goal of the organization.

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.

With That We Say.

Just Go Select!!!
