Grassroots Team Preview: Missouri Team Carroll
Missouri Team Carroll is an Adidas sponsored program, backed with the contribution and support of former Missouri Tiger and current NBA player DeMarre Carroll. Team Carroll recently added five new teams to their organization (15U Elite and Select, 16U Elite, 16/17U Select, and 17U Elite) to their already established 14U program ran by Tami Chievous and Stefon Tippin. With the help of DeMarre Carroll and Tami Chievous, Team Carroll joined forces with Tim Ward (founder of the Missouri Hustle AAU program), Kent Thomas, and Seth Thomas to establish these five new teams. 2017 will be the inaugural season for Missouri Team Carroll featuring High School age teams.
