Meet the Coaches

Behind the success


 

Started by Tania Blanco and Moe Hargrow in June of 2015

It was started by them in their community in order to give the kids of this community a better, more positive opportunity to stay away from the streets. Team Select is a Bronx-based basketball team catering to young men and women from the Bronx, Manhattan and Harlem. In addition to excelling in basketball, the team requires.all individuals to maintain high standards of Sportsmanship, academic excellence and physical fitness. Every player has to set his own goals and be accountable for them with the coaches.

They pride themselves in instilling an A.L.L.S.T.A.R mentality which requires Academics, Leadership, Legacy, Sacrifice, Time, Achievements and Respect.
