Why Elite 24?
Elite 24 stands out as a premier AAU basketball program, offering a unique combination of benefits that set us apart from the rest
Focused Skill Development
At Elite 24, we prioritize skill development with a proven, hands-on approach led by an exceptional coaching staff. Our team brings extensive experience from the NBA, college, and high school levels, ensuring players receive top-tier training tailored to elevate their game. With a focus on fundamentals, advanced techniques, and player growth, Elite 24 provides the expertise and mentorship needed to succeed on and off the court.
College Recruiting
Playing basketball solely on the West Coast is no longer sufficient for high-volume recruitment in the age of the transfer portal and limited viewing periods. Participation in a nationally recognized program is crucial to broadening one's recruiting base to increase opportuntities to play at the collegiate level. We provide exposure through in-person and live-streamed games against top-tier competition that draws college coaches.
Proven Track Record
We take pride in our track record of success, with more players currently playing or having played in college basketball than any other program from Seattle to Sacramento.
NBA Expertise
Elite 24 is proud to be the only program in our region with a current NBA coach on staff. John Townsend, with over 12 years of NBA coaching experience and a track record of developing 17 NBA All-Stars across 1,000+ games, brings unmatched expertise to our team. We’re also thrilled to welcome back Steve Blake, former NBA player and coach, further elevating our program’s elite coaching lineup.
High Level Coaching Staff
We have a long history of providing knowledgeable coaches with previous coaching experience at the high school, college and pro level. Additionally, past coaches include those currently working in the NBA and G League.
Longevity and Legacy
As the longest-running boys AAU program in Oregon, Elite 24 boasts a rich history of over 19 years. We've produced nearly 300 players currently playing or having played college basketball and have 23 players in professional sports.
