2) the best young people they can be
The fundamentals of industry, cooperation, enthusiasm and enjoyment are the founding principles of the organization and each team.
Standard of Performance:
1) This means that Selects will provide a club atmosphere where the same sound basketball principles are taught from age to age and team to team. There will always be an emphasis on the fundamental skills of basketball, team work and team building.

than what you are as a basketball player.”
John Wooden
