Youth Teams
8u-14u Boys Teams (2nd-8th grade)
Our youth teams form the backbone of our program, embodying our commitment to holistic athlete development. Geared towards advanced level players looking to enhance their skills while competing against the best, our youth teams offer a unique platform for growth.
Comprising of boys divisions across all elementary and middle school categories (8u-14u), we offer a wide range of youth teams.
Although winning and competing are essential, we focus on individual athlete development in areas such as fundamental skills, mental toughness, strength and conditioning, and leadership. We believe that participation in our program goes beyond basketball. Our program teaches essential life skills such as teamwork, dedication, and discipline. We take pride in helping young athletes become better individuals both on and off the court.
Since 2011, LA Select has established a family oriented environment for athletes to thrive. To us, basketball is much more than a sport but a vehicle to teach invaluable life skills. Come and join our family!
