Following the release of our High School Standouts, the AAU Select Tour is excited to highlight the Middle School Division from the Middle Atlantic District Select Camp. Once again, the gym was buzzing with energy, this time with the youngest athletes on the tour bringing their passion and hunger to compete. The talent on display across the middle school age groups showed just how bright the future of the game is, with players demonstrating skill, toughness, and a willingness to learn.
Just like the high school group, these athletes were evaluated in drills, skill stations, competitive matchups, and live gameplay. Our staff focused on the same traits that matter most at every level of the game: effort, coachability, basketball IQ, and impact on both ends of the floor.
After thorough evaluation, we’ve identified a group of middle school standouts who separated themselves through their consistent play, energy, and ability to rise to the moment. As always, being recognized here is specific to performance at this camp and should not overshadow the many other players who had strong moments and showed clear potential. Every athlete brought something valuable to the floor, and our staff takes pride in knowing that each left camp with tools to continue their development.
