CSF Select
CSF Select Teams range from 9U-17U and will compete in tournaments from February to July. We aim to compete in the best tournaments in the region during this time to ensure the top players in our program get the proper exposure and test against teams in the region.
The spring is designed to further players’ development and prepare them for middle or high school. Players and families may start the spring a little unsure of the competitive levels beyond their local area. Still, they will finish the spring with a better idea of what competition looks like across the region and be better prepared to improve their game.
The CSF Select program is designed to further a playerโs development and college recruiting. The younger teams will compete in the best local tournaments and take one trip to a national tournament in June. Once you reach 7th Grade, teams will start taking big steps toward playing circuit basketball against a larger pool of talent in the region. There will be more travel at this stage of development for all CSF Select teams once they reach 13U/7th Grade.
Additionally, players will finish the basketball season knowing that playing for a Select team gives them the best chance to improve their game and get the most college recruiting exposure.
How do I make a team?
Players can make a travel team by playing a previous fall or winter season with CSF, or one of the coaches may extend an invitation to a workout or practice. We do not hold tryouts for these teams.
How much does it cost?
The team dues for the basketball travel teams range from $1,200 to $1,500. The dues each player pays to cover the tournament entry fees, paid coaching staff, practice space, hotel rooms, uniform set and shoes (only 13U & 14U teams get shoes), travel arrangements to and from tournaments, and while we are at tournaments.
What type of development do players get?
Each age level has specific goals, though all teams have the overriding goal of helping players become better players, teammates, and people.
Competing with a Select team provides the highest level of overall development a player can get when it comes to preparing for the upcoming middle or high school season and understanding how to compete at the college level.
Who should play Select Basketball and why?
Players competing for Select are committing to all of the practice days, training days, and tournaments. This is a large commitment of time and money. If you arenโt sure you are ready for this level of commitment, we have local teams that are less time-consuming, and you will still get a great coaching experience.
However, if you are a player ready to continue your development, work with the highest level of coaches, play with and against top talent, and truly want to give yourself the best opportunity to play college basketball. In that case, Select is the right fit for you.
