17, Only 82 More To Go

Atlanta Select has selected the Number "99" as the goal for the number of trophies the organization is to earned this season. The count began on February 20, 2011 and to end on September 1, 2011. As of this date, March 29, 2011, the the count is 17 earned, with 82 more to go.

Last weekend 5 trophies were earned.

The Mighty 10u Lady Select RED won their second trophy of the season. Playing up in the 12u (Sixth Grade Group), the sisters finished as "Runner Up" in the "Chosen Few Spring NIT Tip-Off Classic". Coach Shun Jackson and these ladies are on a roll.

Congratulations.

Proving that they are ready to compete the Mighty Second Grade Boys Team RED under Coach KJ James, played up in the Third Grade Division in the YBOA Spring Fling and earned a second placed trophy. These young men, in their first tournament of the season, made a statement and now rank "first" in the 2011 YBOA 8u Ranking.

Congratulations.
"

For the second week in a row the Mighty Eighth Grade Boys Team SILVER won a championship. They took top honors at the Eric Snow "Green and White Classic" at ATPP. Coaches Powell and Salley are doing an outstanding job leading these young men.

Congratulations.

Other trophies earned last weekend were by the Mighty Eleventh/Twelfth Grades Lady Select RED as they won the championship in the Orange Division at the Exposure Tournament at Georgia Tech. This was their second trophy for the season.

Additionally, the Mighty Fifth Grade Boys Team SILVER won the championship in their division at the Eric Snow "Green and White Classic".

Twelve Atlanta Select Teams participated in tournaments last weekend, Nine made it to Sunday,and five won trophies. Thus, 42% won trophies. A pretty good rate. Congratulations to all that participated.

More Atlanta Select Teams Playing on Sunday

During a weekend tournament, if you made it to Sunday you had a good weekend. To play on Sunday afternoon you had a very good weekend. To play in the last game on Sunday you had a great weekend. To win the last game on Sunday your weekend was outstanding, because you are the CHAMPIONS.

More Atlanta Select teams are playing on Sunday, three were announced earlier. Out of 12 teams participating in tournaments this weekend 9 are playing on Sunday and one has already won a trophy, finishing as "Runner up" on a Saturday ending tournament.

Congratulations to Coach "Shun" Jackson and the Mighty 5th Grade (10U)Lady Select BLACK. They played up in the seventh grade (12U) bracket in the "Chosen Few Spring Tip-Off Classic", finishing second. What a way to go ladies. Their second tournament of the season and their second trophy. Enough Said!

Congratulations to Coach Kelly and the Mighty 11th Grade (17U) Lady Select BLACK. They will play for the championship at the Exposure Clinic at Georgia Tech University, Sunday at 12:30 PM. This will be their second trophy in a row in just their second tournament. The "Ladies mean Business". It's about EXPOSURE.

Coach AC Christopher and the Mighty 5th Grade (11U) Boys team SILVER play on Sunday in the Eric Snow tournament at ATPP. This team earned six trophies last season and plans to top that count this season. We are counting.

Coach Baskerville and the Mighty 6th Grade (12U) Boys Team SILVER play on Sunday in the Eric Snow tournament at ATPP. If we kept their pre-season count of trophies,(Prior to Feb 20, 2011), then they would be leading the pack in the trophy count. Let's see what they will do this Sunday.

Coach Carpenter and the Mighty 7th Grade Boys Team SILVER (13U) went 3-0 in pool play at the Eric Snow tournament. The boys are ready. The core of these young men are from Douglas County and the County is showing that they have outstanding student athletes.

Coach Powell and the Mighty 8th Grade (14U) Boys Team SILVER also went 3-0 in pool play. They earned a trophy in the 'Select Few" tournament last weekend. and prepared to win another. Go Select.

As of Saturday, March 26, the organization has earned 13 trophies in our overall quest to earned a total of 99. Will we add more on Sunday? I think so. Go Select!

Life Skills - A Primary Pillar of Atlanta Select - Doing the Right Thing!

The Vision of Atlanta Select Basketball Association is to expand the horizon of young people through education, life skills and sports, while promoting self-sufficiency. The "Life Skills" pillar of our organization shares equal footing as education and sports in the implementation of the overall programs of Atlanta Select.

It is a requirement that at all meetings, training and practice sessions, Atlanta Select coaches conduct a "Life Skills" session. Below Coach McCrae conducts a "Life Skills" session between games at the YBOA Nationals last summer. By the way, the team finished second in the nation.

What is a Life Skills Lesson? It is the laws of life, truths of life, keys to success, or ideals to live by. These are the things that are truly important in life. These are the things that make people truly successful and happy. To supplement our "Life Skills" program all Atlanta Select coaches are required to take and pass the Positive Coaching Alliance course dictated by the AAU National Headquarters.

During our Fall (September - January) Skills Development training Coach Hill, the CEO of Atlanta Select, ends each training session with a Life Skills lesson. Pictured below, Coach Hill discussed with a group of trainees the importance of showing respect, eating right, and preparing to have goals in life.

During team gatherings and meetings Atlanta Select coaches are requried to discuss age appropriate subjects to their student athletes. Pictured below are brother coaches, La'Teef and Tahir Pyles, 10th and 8th grades PLATINUM teams, respectively, holding a "Life Skills" session after reviewing game highlights.

On Saturday, March 26, Coach Z, the COO of Atlanta Select, had a captive audiences as he discussed the "Keys to Success" to the Tenth Grades BLACK, SILVER and PRIME teams between scimmage sessions of the teams.

By teaching these "Life Skills" we prepare our teams to face the challenges of life on and off the court, plus to develop SYNERGY to win more games. But the main intent is just to do the "right thing" as a basketball coach. Winning is simply a pleasant by-product of doing the "right thing". Our vision evolves into our mission -- we use basketball as a tool to expand the horizon of young people. Go Select!
