Our Boys Elite Team provides a platform for high-level players to sharpen their basketball skills and build character by competing at a high-level in Hong Kong and across Asia. With a strong emphasis on team brotherhood, we strive to offer a positive and enriching experience through the sport we love, with a long-term goal of traveling beyond Asia to overseas markets such as Australia, the US, and Canada.
Players are handpicked from our academy through an exclusive invitation-only process, led by our dedicated and experienced coaching team. While selections primarily focus on academy members, limited spaces are available for players participating outside of our Premier League. Selections are based on advanced skill level, unwavering commitment, and exemplary character both on and off the court.
Understanding the busy schedules and dedication of our players and the academy, we are committed to giving back by providing sponsorship to our Elite Team this new season. This initiative ensures that our top players have the opportunity to showcase their talents and continue to grow in an environment that supports their aspirations.
