Opportunities rising for the AZ Redshirts
The
Arizona Red Shirts have been playing together as a team since kindergarten and now they are a 17U AAU/club team.
The team is a non-profit organization with a mission of community outreach, utilizing basketball as a means to teach future business leadership.
Coach
Brian Fabiano established the team as a vehicle to ensure that hard-working young men, who might otherwise be overlooked, get a chance to be seen by college programs. The Arizona Red Shirts' players have all committed to harness their athletic skills in order to build a platform for their education to one day become team leaders of our community.
Over the past year, the Red Shirts' players have worked to raise money to attend tournaments all over the U.S. including: May Madness (Mesa, AZ), Southwest Showcase (Phoenix AZ), AAU Super Regionals (Denver, CO), West Coast All-Stars Camp (Carson, CA), Adidas Three Stripes (Carson, CA), LVH Las Vegas Hoops (Las Vegas, NV), Adidas Super 64 (Las Vegas, NV) and AAU Nationals (Orlando, FL).
