MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of the "815 North Select" organization is to initiate, stimulate and improve opportunities for amateur boys basketball competition, as well as promote leadership, sportsmanship, physical fitness, educational opportunities, and athletic excellence.
It is our goal to deliver a system that will enhance both the academic and athletic success of the athletes and promote opportunities beyond athletics, as well as a physical support in the community that will enhance the overall success of the student-athlete.
Our volunteer group has figured out that the universal language of athletic competition bridges racial, religious, and cultural barriers and when properly harnessed, instills hope and self-esteem.
"815 North Select" mentor philosophy is a key factor in instilling hope and self-esteem, which motivates our young people to become serious academically, socially responsible, and substance free. Each player is encouraged to keep a 2.5 GPA in order to compete in our organization.
Discipline, good behavior, and hard work are expected on and off the court. We accept athletes based on character, commitment, and athletic ability. No consideration is given to racial, religious, or cultural status.
We target the athlete whoo wishes to compete in high school and college. one oof our goals is to send a complete athlete to college and get back a graduated well-rounded human being who will continue the tradition. We will teach the athletes to be winners, not just in the game of basketball, but also how to succeed in life. To meet our commitment to excellence in service, every effort is made to recruit volunteers who are positive role models and accept the premise that winning is a result, not a reason.
