MSE NATIONAL SELECT TEAM
The MSE USA Basketball Boys National Team, commonly known as Middle School Elite National Select represents the top ranked players in their respective age groups within their home states.
Starting with the second grade and continuing through grade eight; top regional and nationally ranked players are brought together to create regional and National Elite basketball teams. These teams compete in high level tournaments locally, throughout the United States and internationally.
The rankings are cultivated by a private independent group based on scouting and performance at local and national ranking camps, sanctioned tournaments, and events. Individual tryouts and evaluations can be schedule directly with Regional Directors or Coaches.
The purpose of our program is to provide the best players in their respective areas and across the country with maximum exposure. We do this by putting the best available players together on the court at the same time at premier exposure events, showcases, and tournaments. The best players from the West play with the best from the East, North, and South. For none local events, players are flown in to compete creating some of the best teams ever put together. We are not an AAU program and we are not affiliated with any AAU group; our players are comprised of players from many teams, clubs, and programs.
We maintain adequate rosters sizes to ensure that we never interfere with any club or player schedule. Our program has strengthened the grassroots AAU concept. MSE National Select allows the top players across the country on any team to maintain long term relationships with their favorite program; yet still receive the same opportunities for national and local exposure that traditionally had only been available for the top clubs in their respective state or nationally. MSE National Select has removed need to “program hop” chasing the “hot new program” in your area in order to be seen.
A few weekends throughout year will help to put you on a path to High School and College Scholarships and the national recognition necessary to be considered a top player at the next level. We are the only program of this type in the Country outside of our United States Men’s & Woman’s National Olympic Basketball team. All MSE National Elite rosters are submitted to the Olympic Selection Committee for consideration for tryout and placement on the USA National 16U, 17U, 18U, & 19U teams.

As long as you have crazy basketball parents who live through their kids you will have program hopping, but I like what ya’ll are trying to do.
