Vision

The vision for ELITE 24 Basketball began over 15 years ago when two local basketball coaches; Larry Davis and Greg Dundon, traveled the country working numerous camps and attending clinics.  These opportunities and experiences have given way to the creation of the ELITE 24 Basketball program.  During their travels both Greg & Larry had the opportunity to work with some of the best coaches in the country.  Coaches who are known as true teachers of the game.  This list includes…

  • Tubby Smith (University of Minnesota)
  • Herb Livesy (NBA Scout for Denver Nuggets)
  • Don Showalter (Head Coach Mid-Prairie HS and USA Basketball)
  • Jerry Slyhuis ( Hall of Fame Coach Cedar Fall HS Iowa)
  • Rick Majerus (Saint Louis University)
  • Mike Dunlap ( St. Johns University)
  • Tony Dorado (Nike HS Basketball)
  • Charlie Sands (Director of Snow Valley Basketball)
  • Erik Spoelstra (Head Coach Miami Heat)
  • Dave Bollwinkle (NBA Scout Chicago Bulls)
  • Pete Gaskill (Head Coach Staley HS)
  • Kevin Eastman (Boston Celtics)

The vision was to form the best basketball academy in the Pacific Northwest. Giving students year round access for training in the best facilties; which would be taught by more than just coaches, but teachers of the game. A group of experienced and knowledgeable teachers who break down the game of basketball to its finest details. It’s more than just name recognition its an elite group of coaches who spend numerous hours bettering themselves to share their knowledge with their students.
ELITE…What does it mean to be Elite? Often the dictionary refers to Elite as being selected as the best. Here at Elite 24 we believe to be Elite, doesn’t necessarily mean you have been selected but more specifically train like the best. This comes with having access to the best teachers around; those who are passionate about the constant improvement of young student athletes and training at the best facilities around. ELITE 24 is an invitation to all players regardless of age or skill level. We design programs that specifically fit the student’s needs.

Mission

To Create and foster an environment that maximizes the potential of each student through year round skill development programs; taught by an experienced and knowledgeable staff.

Goal

Our goal here at ELITE 24 BASKETBALL is to assist young student athletes in achieving their goals and dreams.
