Florida District Select – High School Standouts

August 31, 2025

The Wells Activity Center (Apopka, FL)

After highlighting the Middle School Division, the AAU Select Tour is excited to turn the spotlight on the High School Division from the Florida District Select Camp. The atmosphere inside The Wells Activity Center was electric, with older athletes stepping up to show their skill, effort, and ability to compete at a high level. Players were evaluated throughout drills, skill stations, live matchups, and transition play, with our staff focusing on the core traits that carry over to the next level: effort, basketball IQ, consistency, and the ability to impact the game on both ends.

After a full day of competition, our staff selected a group of players who consistently rose to the moment. Not being listed does not take away from the strong showings and valuable performances many other athletes displayed. Every participant brought something to the floor, and we take pride in knowing each left with tools to continue their growth. Here are the High School Standouts of the Florida District Select Camp.
