why ltd select ?
LTD Select is more than a team. It’s a platform for transformation. We believe in developing the whole athlete, preparing them not only for basketball but also for life. Our mission is to help athletes live the dream God has for them, on and off the court.
Passion meets opportunity.
At Livin’ the Dream, we’re committed to taking our athletes to the highest level of youth basketball—and now, we’re stepping onto one of the nation’s premier stages: the Adidas 3SSB (Three Stripes Select Basketball) circuit.
This exclusive platform showcases elite AAU basketball talent from across the country. LTD is beginning its journey at the Proving Grounds level, the entry point to Adidas' nationally recognized system. It’s not just about gear or hype—it's about allowing our athletes to compete at the highest levels, gain visibility with college coaches, and grow through elite competition.
Joining Adidas 3SSB marks an exciting evolution for LTD, aligning us with a nationally recognized platform while building on our foundation of high-level competition through RecruitLook, Prep Hoops, and Made Hoops. While each of these circuits offers intense, college-recruiter-filled events, Adidas’ wide-reaching brand presence helps amplify visibility—opening new doors and expanding opportunities for our athletes to be seen and succeed.
