Atlanta Select Coach of the Year 2012 - Dwayne Hall

 

 

Atlanta Select proudly announce the 2012 "Coach of the Year" - Dwayne Hall.

 

Coach Hall developed a plan last February 2012 to train and showcase his student athletes of the Mighty Ninth Grade PRIME Team whereas they would receive maximum EXPOSURE.

 

 Additionally, he oversaw the development of a second team The Mighty Eleventh Grade PRIME team.

 

 The results were that both teams played in various tournaments throughout the United States earning the accolades of competitive coaches and players.

 

Whether playing Bob Gibbons, Big Shots, NSABA, GA Tarheels, or the Nationals in Florida, his teams demonstrated that they were willing to play their hearts outs, showing that they were trained and well coached.

 

 

Coach Hall was supported by an outstanding staff consisting of his Assistant Coaches (Copper, Williams & Johnson), his Team Parent Coordinators (Mrs. Wilcox & Mrs Copper)  and of course his lovely wife Mrs. Hall.

 

 

 

 

 

His Ninth Grade team ended the season earning seven trophies and Coach Hall provided the team  a stupendous banquet to closed the season.

 

 

 

 At the banquet he recognized and highlighted each player by indicating they academic and athletic accomplishments for the season.

 

 

 

Coach Hall well deserved the accolates he received for the 2012 season.

And it appears he is ready to compete strongly for honors for the 2013 season as he will be the first Atlanta Select team to host a golf tournament.

We are proud of Coach Hall and his Mighty PRIME Teams. He has justifiably earned

Prime Time Status.

 

Go Select!

Skills Development Training - Sunday, January 6, 2013

You are invited to Skills Development Training at Price Middle School. Only 3 sessions remaining.

 

 

At our last session before the holiday period we were honored to have a guest speaker for our "Life Skills" session, former Atlanta Select player and now college student, Garrett Edison Warren.

Garrett, a graduate of Mays High School, is a senior at Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC. He played for Atlanta Select and Coach Hill from 2006-2009 as a very talented point/shooting guard. He states that his most memorable experience playing AAU was traveling to the AAU Nationals in Orlando, FL and competing against some of the best players in the nation.

He states that all four years in college have been a blessing. He is majoring in history with a minor in religion. He would like to join the Peace Corps after college.

Garrett told the group that his motivation to join the Peace Corps is based on an experience he had in college. He had the priviledge to study and live in South Africa for 6 months. He states is was an awesome experience to live in a different culture and build relationships with other people from across the globe. He was able to study abroad in South Africa because of the financial help he received from the Gilman program. The Gilman International Scholarship Program is a program that help students who are in need of financial assistance to make their dreams of studying abroad come true. He said he left South Africa with a smile and with no regrets.

 

Garrett was eagar to answer the student athelete's questions and he left them with these words of wisdom. "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenice, but where he stands at the times of challenge and controversy" - Martin Luther King, Jr.

*********

Also, at the last training session our Videographer, Coach Patton, was present to record the student athletes' comments on the training and to give best wishes for the new year.

 

Interesting activities occur at our Skills Development sessions. You are invited to attend. Only 3 more sessions this season. Next month, we will begin "Tryouts" for our teams. Please click on "Coaches" or "Teams" above for information on the coaches and teams for 2013.
