My son started Be Elite since 4th grade. He was a shy and low self-esteem boy. He even cried on the first day. Thank you for the all the coaches for your positive encouragement. You have changed my son completely. He is now a confident 6th grade basketball player and also made some great friends in his team. These coaches are not only coaching basketball, they also make sure the kids have good and positive influence. Thank you BEB.

Definitely a beginner AAU team. Coaches threw together a tryout and it was a few skill drills which half the current team looked horrible during these drills.

My son has been playing with Be Elite for a few years. He also plays on a 6A high school team.

Thank you Be Elite!

We love the "in your face" approach by some of the Coaches as it mimics real-life coaching relationships with athletes to drive to do your best through honest tough-love! Coach Soto treats everyone like family and will occasionally have extra exercise/workout sessions, invite the team to fun outings, and most
