Super grateful for my experience with Arizona Select. The exposure, competition and resources were first class. I grew a lot and got a lot better during my time in the program.
“Over the last 10 years there has been a major track record of guys coming through the program to go on to play college basketball and ultimately, professionally. JO always pushes his guys and has been instrumental in helping AZ kids get to the next level!”
“I've been a part of the AZ Select program since I was a sophomore in high school and it has been nothing short of life-changing for me. Coach JO is a tremendous coach and a better person. His belief in me, investment in my growth, and the lessons he taught me both on and off the court gave me the confidence and foundation to pursue my dreams and become the professional player I am today.”
Az Select helped turn my basketball career with the coaches, players, and facilities I was able to have access to on a daily basis. The program is a legit professional organization that gives young basketball players the chance to compete with top players and get in front of scouts and college coaches at every event.
Playing for AZ Select brought about some of the greatest moments in my young formative years playing club basketball. I made friends for life and connections with coaches that have also been incredibly impactful.
AZ select put me in front of media, scouts, and college coaches which led me to the position I’m in today. Without Coach Ortegas help, it’s hard to say that I would had such a fruitful AAU basketball experience.
“AZ Select is an amazing program. I am forever grateful to coach Ortega and the whole AZ Select program for all the opportunities they've given me in my career.”
As a former NBA draft pick, a current assistant coach at Grand Canyon University, and the father of three sons who all played for AZ Select, I am deeply grateful for the impact this program has had on our family. AZ Select instilled the hard work, discipline, toughness, and competitive fire my sons needed for the next level. Two of my boys are now on full-ride scholarships at the Division 1 level, and my third son will join them next year. John Ortega is one of the best in the business, with an impressive track record of success. AZ Select fosters excellence on and off the court. Highly recommended!
