Club Team Basketball vs High School Basketball
I am not sure why there is such a huge and sometimes ugly discord between the two. The insecurity of high school coaches, along with the illegal recruiting practices of club team coaches, have created a riff between the two entities, when they both should be working together. After all, we all want what's best for the youths of our community. If we kept that in front of us, I believe the tension could be eased.
I have been coaching at the club team level for 8 years now, Premier Elite, with one goal. To help high school athletes develop their skills, and get the exposure they so deserve, for college scholarship opportunities.
We choose to live in the Vancouver, Washington area because of the "quality of life" it offers. Unfortunately it is not a hotbed for college coaches to come and recruit players. So the alternative is to take the players to were the coaches are. "College viewing tournaments".
Premier Elite will start its 'spring team' tryouts and team selections in late March, with tournaments starting the 1st weekend of April. Information about dates, times and location will be posted soon.
If you are, or you have a daughter that you believe has college basketball potential and you'd like to get them on a team to build, help develop and expose their talent, Contact us via email at lanpdx2003@yahoo.com

Premier Elite players, growing up
The reason I started "Premier Elite" club basketball team is to give young ladies an opportunity to get a good start in life. I had a daughter that I thought had some basketball talent, and wanted to play ball at the next level, and get a college education.
Well this is a proud dad moment, my daughter Jazmine Foreman graduated from Brigham Young University in August 2011 after 4 years of playing ball (starting 3.5 seasons) and earning her college degree. Jazmine has recently excepted the position of assistant coach with the University of Portland women's basketball team. Irony, she's now looking for young ladies in high school that want to play at the next level.
I also want to say congratulations to Kiva Herman, who graduated from the University of San Diego after 4 years of playing, and went on to play two seasons in Europe before recently excepting the position of assistant coach at Dixie State University in Utah. Kiva also played club ball for us and played High School ball at Hudson's 'Bay.

Mid Summer Nights Madness - Seattle
Like most teams, leaving the End of the Trail and heading up to Seattle for the MSNM tourney, it can seem a little overwhelming, but fun. All basketball almost everyday, for the first 10 out of 13 days of July. We will not be making the end of the month trips this year. Another victim of today's economy
For Premier Elite, 7 wins and 7 loses this summer, with this young team, it is very satisfying. Leaving the MSNM tourney in Seattle with a 3-2 record by winning the first two games, and then losing to the eventual champions in the quarter final game.
The Vancouver Heat finish the MSNM tourney 3-2, losing the 1st game to the eventual overall champion. They played very well after that.
The Columbia Waves went 2-3 at MSNM, the Columbia Cascades went to Chicago and played in the Huge Nike tourney there. Results weren't the best, 2-4, but the competition was excellent and the exposure, Wow...

The Big Dance doesn't let down
Lot's of college coaches wondering around, looking for that 'needle in a hay stack', and there to scout the accomplished high school talent from all over the Northwest and West Coast.
Oregon City's "End of the Trail" is the best tournament on the west coast by far. Consistently drawing the best and most talented girl's high school players from the west coast and beyond.
Premier Elite has been fortunate enough to be invited to this tournament for the past 7 years. This year, although the team struggled to a 1-3 record, our players got lots of experience and some of the players played well enough to grab a few college coaches attention and hopefully they will be hearing from them soon.
The Columbia Cascades played well as usual. Going 3-2 and capturing 4th place in the Gold division. The Columbia Waves also went 3-2 in the White division.
The Vancouver Heat went 1-3 in the Silver division.
