Our 12th grade High Academic Unsigned Senior team is coached by one of NW’s best and most renown basketball trainers, Donald Watts. This is the first time forming an unsigned senior team but we have come up with a great circuit for them with a mix of 4 out of state exposure camps where they will play in front of hundreds of coaches and 2 tournaments in the NW. Their season is much shorter running March-May. This is the final period for late applications and we will work hard to help get them connected with coaches and programs before the Summer.

Our 11th grade 17u High Academic team is coached by the founder of Seattle Select, Chase Young. This elite high academic team will compete as one of the top teams in the NW. Their schedule includes a quality circuit of exposure tournaments and camps through Ryan Silver’s West Coast Elite. During the Spring, in addition to NW events, they will travel to Los Angeles for the WCE SoCal Hoop Review, and Las Vegas for the WCE Spring Classic. In the Summer the team will travel to Los Angeles for the WCE Summer Classic and Elite 100 Camp, then to Las Vegas for the High Academic Super Bowl exposure camp and the final NCAA viewing tournament of the year. Our attendance as a “high academic team” to these exposure events gives our student-athletes an edge and platform to be recruited. Besides skill development and team fundamentals, we help them maximize their accomplishments in the classroom with their skills as a basketball player to open doors to higher academic colleges. We focus on the right exposure, not unrealistic exposure. Most players and parents are left scrambling to get unrealistic exposure to major DI schools. Our student-athletes are given 5 options to attend high academic and elite camps which host hundreds of college coaches from DI-DIII. Coach Young has attended these camps for years and has networked with hundreds of high academic coaches who follow his teams every year. Many of these coaches attend Chase Young and Ryan Silver’s NW High Academic Showcase at Bellevue College in September.

We help them maximize their accomplishments in the classroom with their skills as a basketball player to open doors to higher academic colleges.
