Ten year ago Atlanta Select teams participated in their first AAU Nationals.
Our teams performed well then in 2006 and they are performing well today in 2016.
For all those years we can say,
"Just Go Select!!!
The Mighty Atlanta Select 14u BLACK team represented The Nation at the AAU Nationals.
They had a dynamic coaching staff with Head Coach Samir St. Clair, Assistant Coaches Clifford Dawson and Robert Daniel.
They had a team of extremely smart players on and off the court.
Their cumulative GPA that year was 3.5+.
They had a team of extremely smart players on and off the court.
Their cumulative GPA that year was 3.5+.
Their Head Coach (Sinclair) now resides in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and continues to coach an international team.
Retired Assistant Coach Dawson (pictured below in the black ATL Select polo on the left in a 2007 team coaches photo) is still a loyal supporter of the Atlanta Select organization.
Recently, Coach Sinclair posted these historical AAU pictures above on Facebook capturing the memories of his 2006 team. To the best of my knowledge all of the players secured Division I basketball or football scholarships.
See some of the Facebook comments below from the coaches and players.
The players now have graduated from college and moving on with their lives. I am positive they all have majestic and fond memories playing with Atlanta Select.
Continued Good Luck to all.

I am proud to say, Atlanta Select teams are making very good grades.
